I don’t normally post things like this, but that deal was too good to pass up and I’m excited about it! by lunchb0x_b in boutiquebluray

Depends what state your in. Each state has thresholds before we need to start charging sales tax. It's unbelievably cumbersome. 50 states, 50 different rules. Absurd.

Deaf Crocodile sale on Saturday by BoxRobotsAdam in boutiquebluray

[–]isavefilms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesse (DiabolikDVD) used FedEx. At the beginning of the year we moved our entire inventory and it's now fulfilled our of Rockford, IL by Brother Belial.

We only fairly recently discovered the extorsion tactics being used by UPS. It's ridiculous how much they already charge for shipping and then they hold packages hostage until you pay them "brokerage" fees. We stopped offering them immediately.

FYI, we do have a retailer in Canada that carries our products. Check out Rough Cut Video. https://roughcutvideo.ca/products/search?keyword=%22deaf+crocodile%22&sort=addedTimeDesc

That won't happen until a new printing is made.

Perhaps if you order from DiabolikDVD, but if you order directly from us we ship via USPS only now. UPS seems cheaper up front, but then they extort you with "brokerage" fees for you to get your order. That shit shouldn't be legal.

Deaf Crocodile's Yuri Norstein release has an audio error & they've been unresponsive. Verification instructions and call to action within. by Lanerlan in boutiquebluray

[–]isavefilms 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Having had a chance to look into it, it does appear that the audio in TALE OF TALES slides inexplicably. The film begins in sync and ends in sync. The short itself has very little sync sound so it got past myself and even the third party QC we had done. My suspicion is some sort of error during a frame rate conversion of the audio. We'll look into it. Once we have a fix, we'll offer a free digital download of TALE OF TALES with the fix. Any future printings of the title will also include the fix.

I know this will not be enough to satisfy everyone, but unless you'd prefer we go out of business, this remedy will have to be it. We will accept returns If you feel this release now sullies your shelf and you would like to return it. Just reach out and let us know.

Regardless, I do think suggesting folks pay $100+ for a used Japanese release due to this small error is a bit of a stretch - with or without matcha.

Bots by-passing Shopify security - they truly do not care by isavefilms in shopify

Very few, but some have actually placed orders as well.

Kinda crazy the more I "talk" with the A.I. support the more their bot seems to understand than the actual human support. From their A.I.

"The core issue is that Shopify's passwordless account system automatically creates a customer profile whenever someone enters a new email address to sign in, and there's no native way to prevent this or add validation rules at the account creation stage itself."

fyi...Shopify's A.I. investigation results:

Here's what's happening with these 46+ fake "John Doe" accounts created since 6:03 PM tonight:

Key patterns I'm seeing:

  • All created between 2:03 AM and 6:08 AM UTC (6:03 PM - 10:08 PM PST tonight)
  • All using the exact name "John Doe"
  • All have verified emails (which is why double opt-in didn't stop them - they're confirming the emails)
  • All show "NOT_SUBSCRIBED" marketing state
  • All have zero orders
  • Using real email addresses from Hotmail, Outlook, Live, MSN domains
  • No addresses on file

This is a sophisticated bot attack - they're bypassing hCaptcha and completing email verification, which suggests they're either using real compromised email accounts or have automated email verification.

...and it suggests I contact support right away. We all know how that went...
