From my experience, the larger the order, the longer it takes to process. I never assume DD have every single DVD they say that are "IN STOCK" actually is in stock. They may have to get it from a distributor which takes time to order and ship to and from. Now multiply that by the amount of items in your order and it becomes very complicated especially if the items are from different sources. Plus, weekends are essentially dead times for shipping.
I'm not saying that your frsutration is not warranted, but you have to look at both sides of the situation. I've been involved in warehouse/internet shipping before and it is a very complicated process to fulfill large orders with such a big inventory of items.

. Perhaps this will make you feel better. I placed an order for a dvd on June 22nd during DDD's last sale. That DVD just shipped on Friday, November 7th 
(almost 5 months- not too bad)

Wow, thanks for this. Chungking Express doesn't street until 11/25, making it ineligible for the sale. However, the 25% off code currently works on the version that comes with a free t-shirt. Good find.

If anyone is ordering the Hellboy 2 3 disc, it's only $17.99 at Amazon at the moment. Of course, you'll need to order more to hit free shipping.

Ordered The Car and Brotherhood of the Wolf: DC for $21.97. I'll probably try going to DVD Planet for the Hellboy II BR giftset I was hoping to order. What's the deal with that?

I've made two orders with Deep Discount in this sale, and here's what I got!
Order 1:
Pushing Daisies Season 1
The Tudors Season 1
Order 2:
Dexter Seasons 1 and 2
House Seasons 1-4 Collect
Kashimashi Girl Meets Girl DVD Boxset
That should be enough for now. If I keep going, I'll never be able to watch everything I ordered.

Why are the SD Criterions more expensive than the BDs? I don't have Blu-Ray and probably won't for quite some time --- why should I pay more for less? Ugh.

Just dont get them through Deep Discount. This experience has been dreadful for me. Between Best Buy and Amazon, I'll be just fine.

DD and DVD Planet are definitely cheaper right now than Amazon or BB on Criterions if you use the 25% off code. They come out to just over $20 apiece.

Are you nuts!!!?? I'd never wait that long for an order. I've got 3 items left at DD and one on DVDP that are backordered. If they don't ship by the end of the month I'm ordering them elsewhere.
