Shout Factory/Scream Factory pre orders from retailers in USA/Canada
Some of you may have noticed some Shout Factory/Scream Factory August/September/October/November pre orders not appearing on USA/Canada retailers like best buy/walmart/WowHD/Deep Discount etc recently
Shout Factory have put 3 week release date embargo on other USA retailers excluding Amazon from listing Shout factory/Scream factory for sale as in they can't list these for sale until 3 weeks after release date
There is a slight possibility Amazon USA and Amazon Canada will delay listing some shout factory november releases and later releases until after release date
Amazon was excluded from this embargo but have been very slow to list November release so far
Some november scream factory releases only got added today but not all november releases
The offset of this embargo with other USA/Canada retailers is amazon likely won't price match until the other retailers are selling and have reduced their prices

So I’m VERY excited to hear that Shout is bringing over Kamen Rider. But I SWEAR TO GOD, I will be SO MAD if they release these in DVD and not source the pre-existing Blu-Ray transfers of these episodes.
... would riot.

Question about ordering direct from the Shout site, if you put in an order for a couple of movies do they tend to ship all in one box or ship separately?
I’m trying to weigh up the best place to order from that won’t cost an arm & a leg in shipping to Ireland. I’ve tried WOWhd but they don’t have what I’m after unfortunately.
I can get something shipped to a forwarding address but it’s 15.99 per parcel that comes so if they ship all separately I’d get roasted in fees.

Shout Website
If your order contains both in stock items and pre-orders, the in stock items will ship first, and the pre-orders will ship as they become available.
Just put in an order for my first Scream Factory titles. Got Idle Hands, Trick 'R Treat, The Lawnmower Man, Sleepaway Camp, as well as The Wizard & Freaks & Geeks collectors edition on the Shout side.
I’ve posted this in the “searching for X slipcover” thread but may as well post it here too:
I've recently gone to the dark side & become Region Free. Mainly cos of the stellar stuff that Shout & Scream Factory have been releasing.
I've gotten some stuff so far; Idle Hands, The Craft, Trick 'R Treat, Thirteen Ghosts, Sleepaway Camp, The Lawnmower Man & Haunting of Hill House.
The first 4 came with slips, Sleepaway & Lawnmower Man didn't which I expected, but Hill House also came slipless even though its apparently still available with a slip.
I've only been ordering from Amazon & I'm now weary of ordering anything else.
I was wondering would anyone be able to help me secure a couple of other releases that could still have slipcovers?
I know the slips are limited & a lot of my wishlist are too old to still have slips but there's a couple of releases out there that could/should potentially still have em.

Slipcover only guaranteed for first 3 months after release date with scream factory collectors editions
Other USA distributors releases it can be only first pressings you get a slipcover included and can happen not have any even a few weeks after release date with some other distributors releases.
A retailer may have some stock from that initial batch of stock that came with a slip but then reordered from distributors and got stock without a slip
When it's scream factory release If you want be sure to get a slip pre order or order shortly after release date as in before 3 month timeline.
You can get lucky sometimes order years after release and still receive a release with a slip but will depend on if the retailer has stock leftover from initial first pressing.
Ebay can be best way to get a release long after release with a slip if seller listing shows includes the slip and is in hand photo of item for sale.
Haunting of Hill House was released in october 2019 so very unlikey all stock now with retailers would include a slip but you can get lucky sometimes when you order as in some stock at retailer warehouse has a slip and some don't.
