I also chose Standard International Shipping instead of the others but even with an estimate dispatch date and estimate delivery, that's really only that it isn't guaranteed until they actually ship it. Won't get my hopes until it reaches that point.

I must've ordered mine before they started doing that because (at least in my case) I chose Standard International Shipping as my shipping option from the start, and Amazon.ca gave me my shipping estimate by the end of the following day.
When did you order yours?

Yeah, I expect to be dissapointed, but maybe, just maybe...

I ordered mine on April 27 and chose Expedited International Shipping (it was only a dollar extra). These are my estimated ship/delivery dates:

Shipping Estimate Monday May 13 2013 - Tuesday May 21 2013
Delivery estimate Friday May 17 2013 - Thursday May 30 2013

Hopefully they'll ship it by the end of the week.

Why would you expect to be disappointed? I mean the chances are slim sure, but where the optimism in the thought that you just may have a chance to own DBOX vol 2?
If anyone has any of the DB/DBZ/DBGT or Maho Tsuaki Sally Japanese single DVD's that they'd be interested in selling send me a PM and I'll see if we can work something out. ;).

I placed my order on May 3rd.
On the 26 April I've ordered it so logically the customers who placed their order earlier should be on priority.. this is strange. Either way, it's just an estimate.

Well, I'm a Tottenham Hotspur fan (an English football/soccer team), so I am used to being disappointed. We are basically the team who always gets so close, but are so far. So naturally, I try to never get my hopes too high, even if I do always try to be optimistic.

I think the only way that it could be said with any degree of certainty that Dragon Box 2 is coming to anyone is if the order status apperars as ''SHIPPING NOW'' (assuming amazon.ca is the the same as US Amazon in that regard). If that happens to anybody, I think it is pretty much guaranteed that at least 1 copy of the box IS avaliable. Until that...nothing is certain. :|

By the way, those are my estimates:

SHIPPING ESTIMATE Monday May 13 2013 - Tuesday May 21 2013

DELIVERY ESTIMATE Thursday May 16 2013 - Thursday May 30 2013

I guess I will wait until the end of this week, and if nothing happens, I will just cancel the order and see if anyone on the forum actually manages to get one copy.

I'll wait until June 1 2013 to see what happens, and if nothing changes with my order by then I'll cancel my order though I hope no one has to cancel their order.

Good and bad/worrying news...

Got a message confirming DBox 4 has been shipped and hopefully it should arrive on Wednesday.

However, Amazon have said:
We thought you'd like to know we shipped this portion of your order seperately, to give you quicker service.
This could mean they don't have the stock in for DBox 2, but hopefully I will be proved wrong.

I changed the shipping speed and now I have an estimate:
Shipping estimate: May 14 2013 - May 27 2013
Delivery estimate: May 16 2013 - May 31 2013
These estimates seem quite random and I can't honestly trust them. If by June 2013 is still the same then it's likely they really don't have it in stock but I dunno why Amazon would try to sell something they don't have.

I'm starting to wonder about that as well, if Amazon doesn't have any copies in stock and they know it, then what's the point of giving people the option to buy it? Also I just checked Amazon.ca and they still have vol 2 listed at that price, if they're still selling at that price by now they better be able to deliver otherwise a lot of buyers are going to be pretty angry about being misled.

Edit: Just checked the quantity to see how many a person could order and their quantity number goes as high as 30, does this mean that Amazon actually has that many copies or is something in their system glitched up

Not to turn everyones hopes down as I want you all to get it since Amazon have seemingly found stock, but a few years back I ordered something in a similar manner, after the estimated shipping date they contacted me about them having difficulty sourcing stock, a few weeks later they cancelled the order and gave me an apology.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone sees
Any of the Legend of Saiyan line going cheapish
Or any other Banpresto DBZ figure :)

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

I also ordered dragon box 2. I also got dragon box 4 from them already as well. And I ordered it on the 29th. My delivery estimate is may 24th through June 19th. When I ordered it the "usually ships" message was green. Now a couple of weeks later it's orange. It also went down a dollar for me. It was $58 and now it's $57 on the site. Strange. I recently wanted the series and decided on the dragon boxes and ordered all of them in April and only miss the 2nd one. Hope I get it. :/

You're saying that 30 is the EXACT maximum number of copies one can bought? Did you actually ckecked that for yourself? :?:

I tried 999 copies and it worked (lol), normally it would just show exactly how many they have in stock which isn't the case. Something's wrong with Amazon.ca's Dragon Box 2.

In case they really had 999+ copies in stock they wouldn't make their customers wait 2-4 weeks or more.

Dragon Box 4 arrived from Amazon.ca today. I gotta say I'm a little dissapointed, it has some damage. :/
