But… why? I think they ship them out on a first-come-first-serve basis. If you switch to Amazon, won't you be moved to the back of the line?

I was thinking earlier today that I'll do the same thing by Wednesday. Though like RightStuf, Amazon doesn't charge you for pre-orders until they ship it out, right?
Right. I get free two day shipping for Amazon. When your free trial ends, just apply to another school… They'll give you a new edu email for another free prime trial. That's what I did. My original prime ended years ago.
I'm not sure how much money we'll save by switching to amazon, though. It's currently over 30$ there. Regardless, I'll need to at least change my address if not cancel the order.
Amazon usually packages their items better too. I keep getting one piece sets from rightstuf with banged up corners.

Rightstuf is first come, first serve. Amazon is big enough that they can ship out everyone's package on the same day.
Or… We can place two orders and cancel which ever one doesn't ship first. Haha.

Hmmm… The release day is the 18th, right, so a week from Tuesday? Basically, if Rightstuff doesn't ship out by Wednesday, it means there's no way we'll get it before the release date, right? If I were to order it through Amazon, I have my prime so I can pay an extra 3 dollars for overnight shipping. Amazon ships so you get it on the release date, just like what they did for Batman: Rise of the Dark Knight for me last week.
I may consider switching too if they don't ship by Wednesday or Thursday. I'll have to wait and see and then make up my mind.

When Amazon says they'll deliver it by release day, I don't think it matters what shipping speed you pick- that'll just decide when they'll ship it out, not when you'll get it. Please tell me if I'm wrong. I thought amazon just sent things to get to you by release day.
EDIT: Just checked. According to the pre-order I have on amazon, you can't select one day shipping on pre-orders.

I'm confused about why S4 Part 4 hasn't gone up for pre-order yet. It should be part of Season 4 and not Season 5, so there shouldn't be a large gap between volumes, right?

It might just be an early march release. It currently isn't listed as a Feb release; that could change, but it hasn't yet. I doubt it's more than 2.5 months away from this set. Don't worry. It is part of season four.
-
There's going to be a Part 4 and a Part 5 set for Season 4 and then we move onto Season 5 in the Summer right after so there'll be no gap regardless. No idea why Part 4 doesn't seem to be coming this February but sometimes these things happen. It could still pop up in the list soon, or maybe it'll just be early March.

Oh really? Well, my Batman movie was on two-day shipping and I got it on the release day. In fact, it actually arrived in one day so I think they bumped it up to one day shipping instead. So I guess you're right. They just adjust it.
Also, it's worth mentioning that Amazon has a lowest price guarantee. Meaning that if the price lowers after you preorder it before the release date, you get refunded automatically. I got one dollar back on my Batman movie. I know one dollar's nothing, but a refund is still worth mentioning.
-
They dont usually change prices so close to release day. They wait till the item is released so they don't have to change it.

Yeah, just thought I'd throw that out there for the future. Though I always usually stick with Rightstuff for One Piece, Bleach, and Naruto due to the early shipments.
-
I wonder if the box art scheme will change for season five.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
If the voyage three boxart is changed to include the frilly borders, I'm blaming that for the late delivery.
-
I was considering that myself but we've had small errors that were fixed for the release without affecting RightStuf's early shipping, right? I think that was the case for Season 2 Fourth Voyage, that originally had an extra picture of Nami (or Luffy) in the background.

Can't remember… It could happen, though...
Change of boxart format for season five, anyone? Black boxes to oppose the white ones!
Man. I post too much to have a large signature, don't I? :\
-
ANDDDDDD IT HAS BEEN UPDATED.
Reserved for your Order.
-
I literally made the first thing I did on my Mac today reloading my RightStuf tab hoping for an update, and the second thing checking the inevitable post by Zephray on said update.
-
Mine still says "All backordered"
-
Masterking, you're checking in the wrong place. Don't check at the top of the order, but across from the item name. It'll only say 'on order from manufacturer' or 'reserved for your order'. It'll never say 'all backordered' in that area.

Yeah, I woke up and refreshed my phone's page. Saw it. Posted it. Went back to sleep.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Does anyone know if they ship on Saturdays? I don't think they do. It means we'll get it on Monday or Wednesday. Wednesday is my last exam day.

Oh. facepalms I'm such an idiot. Lol
Yeah, it says "reserved for your order"
-
Expecting accounts to be charged shortly, we'll see shipping on Monday I assume.
-
I think they charge when they ship. So if we get charged today, we can expect delivery Monday. If we get charged Monday, expect it wednesday.
To whoever gets it first: Just tell me if the themes are dubbed. I don't want another thing spoiled from your mouth.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
And Wednesday it is.
-
Hooray! New set to take with me on my trip to the in laws!

What about voyage four and five? 11/11 or 12/10?
-
Hell yeah! This looks to be a great week!! First Batman The Dark Knight Rises and now One Piece Water 7 dubbed… My blood is pumped like a raging fanboy, so I better tone it down a bit.

I think they know they can't get away with too many 10-ep sets; the only reason they did it for S3V5 was they didn't even have the last episode of the arc to include.
-
With no RightStuf update today we can't expect a Wednesday delivery, right?
-
Ups/FedEx doesn't pick things up from them until 5 or 6. Rightstuf doesn't update things right away. Keep checking your bank until 7 IA time to see if they've charged your account. We'll know by then.
If I remember correctly, rightstuf doesn't send out the email update until a day after it shipped. So we might wake up tomorrow morning to see that it shipped today. Bank charges seem to be a better estimate, though.
-
Alright then, that's a relief.
-
And my bank account is being charged. They're shipping today. Woo!
-
Me too! Can't wait!
-
What time is 2nd day mail delivered…? Do they require signatures? I'll have to leave a note on my door when I go to my exam...
-
For me they always arrive not long after 7PM but I'm pretty sure it depends on your area and how far you live from one of the UPS stores. I always sign and never tried leaving a note so I'm not sure if that'd work or not. If you happen to miss them you could find out where the store nearest to you is and go over and pick it up if you don't feel like waiting an extra day.
-
Hm. I'll be gone from 12 to 3, but I'll leave a note with my signature anyways. I hope that works.
-
Yeah definitely no harm trying it. I doubt they'd arrive between that time because I think if one of the UPS locations were that close to you you'd already know so hopefully for you it wouldn't even matter.
-
Thanks.
We can look forward to tomorrow too, since someone is bound to get it then and be able to clue us in on the theme songs, at the least.
-
I was thinking about that but I was wondering if there was a chance since we had our order's updated at the beginning of the weekend. Do we know if Sunday really even counts for UPS shipping?
-
Oh, man. I'm so hyped!
-

You can't ship out or receive orders on a Sunday. But if the item was shipped out before Sunday, it won't stop moving just because it's a Sunday. Items continue to move towards their destination even on Sundays. Rightstuf definitely didnt ship out the items on Sunday, Saturday, or Friday. I was referring to that one guy who lives so close that he gets items a day after they're shipped. Mikey is his name, I think…?
-
Yup, Mikey D. Luffy. Hopefully he'll get his tomorrow.
-
Yep, that's me! I'm at work right now so I can't check the tracking until I get home, but I have too been charged. Unless something goes totally wrong, which it never has in the 3-4 years I've been using RightStuf (knock on wood), I'll get it tomorrow just fine.
Expect rips and clips.

As long as you tell us if the theme has been dubbed, I'll be happy. I'll probably avoid all other news so I can be surprised when the set comes. Thanks.
…a 'D' in your name. Peculiar...
-
I have been charged as well! I hope I get it Wednesday or Thursday.
-
So without a doubt, we are getting the opening dubbed right?
-
No, The correct answer is: "We will know by the end of the week, most likely tomorrow if that's when Mikey gets it".
-
@Mikey:
Expect rips and clips.
You sir are a legend, thank you.
-
We just have to hope the guy working at Right Stuf's warehouse has a good arm and throws the box all the way to Mikey's house tomorrow.
-
So we'll get tracking numbers tomorrow morning, I guess? My bank account hasn't been completely charged yet. Just a placeholder. Hm… My knowledge of shipping time being around 4-6 was from an old job, but rightstuf could be different, I suppose.
-
Got my confirmation email with my tracking numbah.
-
Same here, and looks like it'll be Wednesday as we all predicated. Hurray!
This will give me insentive to actually get my school paper done today so I can marathon the entire set Wed night.
-
It'll be here today.
I'll rip once I get home from finals. Luckily, they're set to be taken in the morning.
