For those who have ordered tapes from MPI, how long does it usually take the tapes to reach you? I ordered some tapes on June 1st and am wondering when they should arrive..hte last time I ordered, they came in like 8 days later but it's already been 11 days since June 1st soo..*shrugs*
-
Whenever I order from MPI it takes just over a week.
If they don't come in a few days, you should call them.
-
On second thought, I'd go ahead and call them now
or in the morning. They should be able to check the tracking of your order. ?!?
-
My last order, purchased via credit card, was in my mail box three (business) days after I placed the online order. I think I paid for priority mail, though.
-
It depends on how you ordered them sometimes. If I send a personal check, it usually took about two weeks. When I send a money order or use a credit card, it generally took only about three or four business days. I would give them a call though and they can tell you when it was sent out. :)

I too have orders tapes, and like you, I'm still waiting. I paid mine with a m.o. , I aways do, but this time its almost been 2 weeks. I'm going to have to call them a see what the problem is........
-
Hmm Thanks everyone that replied. I'll call them tomorrow if they don't come in today.
-
When I ordered my MPI tapes, I ordered both the Collector's Series and the Original Series all at once, that's about 200 tapes. It took a couple of weeks to get them all. They came in separate shipments. It's great to have those tapes! :)
-
I called. They said they didn't send it out till six days after I placed my order. It should come tomorrow or Saturday. Thanx for your help everyones.
-
I called too, and the same thing was said to me, Today or Saturday. Hummmmmmm. Doesn't this strike you as, oh I don't know, strange?

Yeppers it is strange. I wonder why they didn't send them out sooner since the site says it should take only 2-3 days for it to send out at the most. Hmm I wonder what is going on up there.

My guess would be that they could be a little overwhelmed with all of the new/recent DS DVD orders, and they might be running a little behind in their shipping dept.

Sometimes the orders take over a week sometimes they are quicker and I did have one lost in the mail...MPI has always been very helpful and its very easy to get a live person on the phone if there's a problem...I just got the Collector's Series from them and the Original Series used on Ebay...I wouldn't get rid of your tapes yet- at 160 eps a year on DVD we are talking 7-8 years until completion...
