Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Since I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than buy from Amazon, I might have to go the eBay route. thanks.

I'm sure you can find other vendors out there. Amazon is just a good source for what is actually avialable. If you aren't aware, IMDb is owned by Amazon so if you go to a movies page there is a box in the upper right that shows all the various national Amazon stores that have that movie available on DVD.

Though I am curious why you don't like Amazon.

Short version: placed order. Waited. Waited. Waited. Ship by date long gone. Contacted customer service and was told they had cancelled order on their end due to computer problems and they don't notify you when that happens. No they couldn't revive it - I'd have to place a new order. Got my goods elsewhere. Got Visa bill. Was charged for order - TWICE. Still no goods. Company refused to respond, so disputed charges. Months later get "your items have shipped!" email on "cancelled" order, and bill charged again. Customer service in India couldn't care less. Disputed charges and refused shipment. Stateside CS finally contacts me with "sorry, here's a $5 gift certificate for your trouble." This is just the bare bones and doesn't cover the whole of the communication, if you can call it that. And it wasn't the first problem I'd had with them, just the last.
