Has anyone bought a Blu Ray from ChoicesUK?

Mine has been in progress for about 3 days. How long do they take to arrive usually?

It depends on their stock. I've been waiting ages for kingdom of heaven.

If they are in stock they usually take about a week.

I have Night at the Museum and Kingdom of Heaven on order. Kingdom of Heaven is out of stock and due in next fri according to their site. NATM is meant to be in stock but it says In Progress for days.

Yep, even when they are in stock it seems to take an age.

I have placed 3 orders and cancelled them all as they take for ever to process.The last item was "dispatched within 24hours"yet my order said "on order from supplier"Prices are often quite good though

I think the problem here isn't the retailer but the supplier. Another e-tailer told me they're having problems obtaining stock.

Frustrating really. I'm waiting for Casino Royale and Hellboy to arrive.

I've been having similar supply problems with sendit.com. They're fantastic for Standard DVD, but for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray there really does seem to be a stock and time-to-replenish issue.

Well I phoned Choices and told them my order has been "in progress" for a few days and they told me they are waiting for stock from Jersey. I come back from a pub lunch (good beer garden weather) and its now down as dispatched. cool. I might get it on sat.

Ok got my NatM Blu Ray and now my KoH has gone into "in progress" just in time too because they have now gone up in price to £23.

Same here for Ice Age 2. Called yesterday because it has been in progress for days and they said it comes from Guernsey. What difference does this make to how long it takes to get out the door?

I ordered BlackHawk Down on the 1st April-it initially said would not be despatched till release date of 4th April....still waiting for it now and the order says awaiting stock

Synchronicity · 21-04-2007, 7:55 AM

Still waiting and checked if it was showing in stock on the site and it now says- Availability: This product will be released on 23 Apr 2007.Wish they would make their mind up

Ordered Blackhawk Down and The Hostel on 28th March...Hostel shipped on the 4th April and Blackhawk Down shipped yesterday (April 20th). Restocking does seem to be a problem with them. I've got Gang's Of New York on pre-order and hopefully that will ship promptly on release date...be interesting to see...........

I've noticed quite a few blu-rays have gone up at Choices. Most of the Fox ones seem to have lept from £17.99 to £22.99 (Ice Age 2, Kingdom Of Heaven etc).

Ice Age 2 has gone up at sendit.com too. Looks to me like the UK suppliers are just getting greedy now that all those PS3s are out there and know that with their region locked format we have no choice
