Hm. The boys and girls at deepdiscountdvd.com are mind readers. Sensing my growing fury, they e-mailed me to tell me my package has just shipped. Now that's customer service!
There's loads more here (http://www.pricegrabber.com/rating_getreview.php/retid=277/masterid=0/ut=182f3c5974f979b4) and on some other consumer review sites. I'd say the jury is split about 50/50. When they work, they work well (albeit slowly -- never expect any new release to show up in a timely fashion) but when they don't, they're impossible. Esp. in the "you can't cancel, you can only ship it back to us one you arrive" or "we'll keep telling you something's going to ship until we just cancel it" vein.
Wow. I've always had to wait weeks and weeks to get anything I've pre-ordered. Maybe they just have it for people from New York? :)
I can't not order certain things from them -- they were the only place that carried the Sapphire & Steel set and as long as I'm willing to wait (and they *don't* cancel stuff 6 weeks after it's due to ship!), they're useful.
