Overstock's shipping is totally whacked. I'm tracking my package now and it shows shipped from SC to NJ via UPS where it was delivered to the USPS for final delivery here to VA. WTF!?! It would've been quicker if they just used the USPS at the start!

Well, even though I mostly hated the theatrical version of the film, I just ordered the 4 disc from overstock for $15.65. I read all these great things about the director's cut between the dvdtalk review and what everyone is saying in this thread. So I'm hoping it delivers. lol

I finally received my pre-order today. When I saw the package I couldn't help but be reminded of the opening scene of "Ace Ventura Pet Detective." My "Kingdom of Heaven" case looks like someone punted it off of the upper-righthand corner. This was my first Overstock order and will probably be my last. I like the price but not at the sacrifice of receiving a quality item.

Haha, I don't know why I just thought of this, but remember when Overstock was out of stock on the Kingdom of Heaven. Yeah, that made me life. Overstock lol yeah right.

Well I finally got a response from Overstock concerning the damaged KoH and their packaging choices:
"Thank you for shopping with Overstock.com and for letting us know that you have received your 'Kingdom of Heaven - Director's Cut (SE/DVD)'. I understand how disappointing it could be as you have received the above item in unsatisfactory condition. I would have felt the same if I were in your place. Let me assure you we do not do business in this way and such happenings are rare."
Apparently they haven't found this thread.
At least they paid for return shipping but it will be interesting to see how this turns out considering that they've indicated that a restocking fee of $4.95 may be applied if they determine the item isn't "broken."

Yeah, all in all, I really had to post way too much in this topic. I won't be ordering any more DVDs that are in a cardboard case like this one is from overstock, unless the price is much better than other sites. I ordered Cannibal Holocaust awhile back from them and it was fine, but I suppose because it wasn't a cardboard case inside two pieces of cardboard.

Got my copy from Overstock today. Came in a cardboard envelope and slightly flattened but otherwise in ok shape. I'm not too crazy about the condition but it's not bad enough to make a complaint.
