UFO DVDs

Just received my UFO DVDs from Deep Discount. Unbelievable, Ordered them
July 6 and received them July 9. Received card from A&E, where I ordered
them May 14, 2002. They are telling me they are on backorder and not to be
shipped for 25 days. Ask if I would like to cancel order. Are they the same
as DDD set. Why pay almost double for something I just got for almost
half the price. Elaine

I got mine today (woohoo!) as well. I think someone else had posted
about Deep Discount's release schedule before, but they always
seemed to run about three to four weeks ahead of the official date
of A&E (with the exception of CAPTAIN SCARLET).

DD also sent me an email that the THUNDERBIRDS megaset shipped to me
and that isn't due until the end of the month either.

My poor Visa card...

A&E is shipping the exact same thing as Deep Discount DVD.
I would suggest that you call up A&E and cancel your order
(if you havne't already). I did, and the helpful customer
service person cheerfully cancelled my order.

... as opposed to Deep Discount DVD, where I had to actually
argue with the customer service person, who was trying to
tell me that they considered UPS Ground shipping to be
a kind of "priority" shipping... :-( I eventually got
them to refund my priority shipping costs, but I had to
argue about it, and it left a sour taste in my mouth.

I guess when you buy from A&E, that extra money you're
paying gives you more agreeable customer service people...
