I ordered Vol. 2 for a friend's birthday present back in November from Overstock.com. At the time, the entry said it would ship in November 2005. A few days later, it changed to December 2005. And now, it's not even in their database when you try to search for it, yet my order status says "in process." It is now January 11, 2006. Was there a problem with the release, or did they just delay it some more?

Well, DrMaster has had some financial troubles in the past, so I wouldn't be suprised if they delayed it without an announcement. Amazon is listing is as a "ship in three weeks" product, which usually means they're supposed to have it but don't.

It's available and Dr. Master's linked store has it. I think it was released in the last 2-3 weeks, since I don't remember seeing it when I was purchasing manga from them.

Well, I sent an e-mail to Overstock. We'll see how it turns out within the next week. Do they charge your card before or after they send the item? Depending on that, I might even cancel it and order from somewhere else at this point...

I just got a reply this morning. They didn't give me a full explanation as to why they never sent it, but they did apologize for the inconvenience and apply a $6.94 credit under my account for the next time I purchase something. Weird, I wonder what happened to the product?

Probably lost in the mail or something. It happens.

Yeah, don't buy from overstock. I've heard some negative things as well, and generally amazon has a much larger selection of manga/comics including lots of hard to find stuff.

Eh, I wouldn't use overstock either for manga purchase, especially since they charge your card before the product is shipped.

I usually don't buy manga from them, but it was the lowest price I found it for, at the time. I buy DVDs from them a lot and have never had a problem with that, but oh well. I will stick with B&N and TRSI for my manga from now on Anime smallmouth.

By the way, here's the explanation they sent me:

Dear Tony,

Thank you for shopping at Overstock.com and for letting us know your
satisfaction with our services. Our simple formula for success is a
satisfied customer. Thank you for making my day and taking the time to say
"thanks!"

Tony, I really appreciate the time and effort you took to acknowledge

target in the future.

I am sorry to know that you were not able to find the item on our site.
Unfortunately, the 'Lunar Legend Tsukihime' is no longer in stock.
Since we deal in the liquidation of merchandise, products featured on our
site tend to sell out quickly. We use an inventory control database to
prevent this from happening, but sometimes errors occur in this system.
I note that the item still can't be found on our site. I'm terribly sorry
for the inconvenience caused to you.

Tony, we do have the option to notify you by email if this item comes
back into stock. I cannot promise that the item will return to our site.
If we do receive any additional merchandise of this kind and if you
wish to receive a notification from us, we can arrange for you to receive
a notification at this email address when that occurs. Please let us
know if you are interested to receive the notification.

If you would like assistance with any aspect of Overstock.com, please
feel free to contact us by email at [email protected] or by phone at

Holidays). We are always happy to help! We hope you will visit us soon again
to avail the great discounts and offers on our website.

Thank you,

Kenneth S.

I guess I can use that store credit towards those Yukizake LE and Initial D box set now Anime catgrin.

I have my vol. 2 pre-ordered from amazon. Right now it says my delivery estimate is Feb. 10th. I certainly hope they're right about it. I've been dying to read vol. 2.
