Amazon does suck!

[kirbyk.livejournal.com]

I just placed an order for it, for substantially less, on deepdiscountdvd.com. They'll probably even ship it reasonably quick, too.

I don't know where they're located, so if they're in CA and you get sales tax hit that'd suck, but for me, I avoid the Amazon sales tax for WA people, so I totally avoid them now. Well, I like to shop on the Amazon site, and then when I decide what to buy, I go buy the items elsewhere. :-)

Heh! That sounds like a really great way to handle it. Thanks for the idea!

That they do...

I ordered a pokemon CD they said would ship in 4 days and I got it 4 months later. Funny how that works. I don't trust them much anymore.

Well, first off, I seriously doubt it shipped on April 6th, as that was Sunday.

Weird, though. I got my pre-ordered copy yesterday (April 14th) in a shipment using the Free Shipping option. It shipped on Thursday (April 10th).

Funny that we live so close and have such different results. I've had nothing but poor service through that free shipping option, up to *months* waiting for things to arrive! I don't even use it anymore, I'd rather pay and get it in a week or so...
