BUYER ALERTS: i have mentioned this (Alert #1) before, but i will give an update: ALERT #1: i had ordered a bunch of WW2 history books from Amazon.com back in July - last week i finally got SOME of them, for a fast, fast 5 month delivery (almost to the day). Several other books remain on backorder until APRIL. ALERT #2: Having been asked what i would like for xmas, i put together a list of DVDs i wanted. My parents ordered several of them from Deep Discount DVD, which i usually had recommended to many people to find stuff and get it shipped reliably. Well, apparently in the last year or so, things have gone downhill at that company. The original order "disappeared" in shipping (according to Deep Discount they have some sort of dispute with UPS). After much hassle, my parents got a refund and reordered - and it was supposed to have been delivered prior to New Years. It never showed up. So, my parents called back - and were told it never shipped. They were promised it would go out by overnight and would be delivered today. So, i called them again to get a delivery number - and guess what: it not only didn't ship, apparently most of the order is not in stock. So, i advised my parents to cancel the order. So: if you are ordering from these companies, CAVEAT EMPTOR!!! You might eventually get the stuff, but not on time, and only after much hassle.
