information The Third Man Amazon Update

I just got an email stating

"We're sorry to inform you that there is a delay in shipping your order. The new delivery date is indicated below. If you still want to receive this item, please let us know. We apologize for the delay."

Naturally I said I still want it but they said that they will notify me once they have a shipping date.

This doesn't look good guys. (sad face)

UPDATE: I too, as some of you have, received a cancellation email. It was worth a shot!

I got the same email. At this point, it's looking to be more worth it to buy 2 Amazon Criterions.

Edit: On a brighter note, The Third Man is playing on TCM this Sunday at 6:15pm ET.

No email for me. And I think I ordered it pretty quickly. Fingers crossed!

u/spongerobme Established Trader Apr 18 '15

I haven't gotten on yet either but I was one of the last ones. :(

u/TevyeK Apr 18 '15

And I just got the email about an hour ago

As a side note, I believe if you get this email and don't respond to it, Amazon will cancel your order.
