Thumbs up Tower.com Already Shipping Transformers BD

Ordered mine on Sunday, they shipped it today already. Good price, too. So far I've had good service from Tower.com *finger's crossed*.

Not a bad price when including shipping, but I'm wary of the fact their website says standard domestic shipping takes "8-15 business days". If it actually takes that long, I'd be getting it nearly a week after amazon would have gotten it to me.

It's barely taken that long for their shipments to get to me, and I'm in Canada.

Sucks though that they charge $4.99 per BD for delivery to Canada. Even so, I still manage to get a few titles cheaper than what I can find up here, plus I don't get those cursed bilingual covers, so I don't mind the wait.

Thanks for your information MidnightWatcher, I've already ordered Transformers, Stargate & From Hell for the first time on Tower.com. Good price & lower shipping cost compared with amazon.

Damn, I read that there was a delay from them. I ordered it from family video instead. We'll see how long it takes.

I had Dark City BD in my shopping cart for over a week as well (back when it was $16) and even though it is now $25 they still let me buy it for $16. They shipped that one today, too. Not sure why they ship everything separately though.

FYI.
most of the time when tower notifies you something has shipped in a multiple item order, that means it's been packed. the whole order doesn't ship until all your items have been packed. when you get your order you'll see that there is a different packing slip for each item.

It's $10.99 right now. Do they refund like Amazon?

Great price on Dark City. Thanks a lot IXinchnail! I just ordered a copy. Even with shipping, it's still the best price anywhere. I haven't ordered from them before so I don't know how long the shipping will take.

No luck in being refunded the difference...

Thanks for the notice about Dark City. Amazon is currently sold out, and since I'm not as hung up about getting it as soon as possible like with Transformers, I don't mind waiting a week or so, especially for that price.
