Note that I removed the Big Lewbowski because Zip shipped it from my parked list. And I added the Astronaut Farmer (as second on the list). So I got shipped 3, 4, 5 and 6 from the list.

Just a quick note: Premieres has gone a long way to end the "clunkiness" of their web site by adding very cool drag-and-drop functionality for rearranging the order of the Flick List.

Let's see what ships this week. I really want to see Notes on a Scandal.

Turn around time seems to the biggest problem I'm having with Premiers. They received my discs today and sent out 4 more. But that means that it's a 12 day turn around on discs, so 4 discs out is only giving me 8 discs a month.

They shipped these today (the 23rd)

1. Notes on A Scandal
2. Astronaut Farmer, The
4. Pan^s Labyrinth (Special Edition)
6. French Connection (Collector^s Edition)

I wonder how long it would have taken ZIP to send me these titles.

1. Notes on A Scandal
4. Pan^s Labyrinth (Special Edition)

I wonder how long it would have taken ZIP to send me these titles.

FWIW, I've actually got "Notes" and "Pan's Labyrinth" out from ZIP right now. I never really had them in my Top 10, though - "Pan" shipped July 6 from the #9 spot after a couple of passovers at #13, while "Notes" shipped from #1 on June 25 after a few passovers at higher spots the previous couple of months.

Once Premieres shipped disks to me, I unparked the remaining titles until the next time Premieres can ship to me. Zip actually shipped Blood Diamond and Music and Lyrics to me (though they are still in the mail.)

I've noticed that since I'm ordering older titles from ZIP that the shipping takes longer as well. I assume that means that they have one or two of the discs and they have to ship them cross country more often.

So far my biggest problem with Premieres seems to be turn around time. The turn around time with ZIP is better.. but getting newer titles is much more difficult.

BTW, was the Pan's that you got the regular or the special edition?
