Title: Extra copy of DVDs 1 and 3 of the 14-DVD R1 Superman Ultimate Collection
Post by: Uncle Mxy on February 02, 2007, 07:19:41 PM
I received the 14-disc Superman Ultimate Collection for Christmas.  Mine was part of the batch that had problems with the two discs (non-director's cut of Superman I, Superman III) as discussed here:

I followed the return procedure, sent back my two defective DVDs and got two DVDs that I confirmed to be non-defective (1978 sound -- woohoo!).  The only oddity was that they really munged my last name, surprising as it's pretty hard to munge.  I figure that I'll definitely know if I get any junk mail came because of this.

Then, today, quite unexpectedly, I received another two copies of the same DVDs.  I'm wondering just how many more I'll get sent.  :)  Not that I think owning multiple copies of Superman III is something I should necessarily be proud of, but ya gotta love Annette O'Toole and Pamela Stephenson...

It seems I'm a-gettin' there... 

I'm almost embarrassed at my good fortune here, as I keep reading in other forums about people having a hard time getting Warner Bros. to send their replacement DVDs out.

I sent my Mom flowers for Mother's Day once, and she apparently didn't see them left at the front door, so i called 1-800-FLOWERS just to inquire if it really was delivered, they gave me the number of the local florist who actually did the delivery, and somehow this got interpreted from both places as "Package never received"

so two more came, and Mom, having found the original once I called her, and worrying as the elderly often do, called them to pick up the extra ones , so I wouldn't be charged for all the extras, but this only caused MORE flowers to be delivered.  Somehow she ended up with SEVEN in total and continued to freak out all day that i would get this huge bill.

Needless to say, the next year, i just sent a card.

Apparently, a number of other people have gotten multiple copies as well:
