For pricing and fulfillment, I compared the last 2 of my Edge
orders and found:<br>
<br>
Music Compact Discs: <br>
Alliance has pricing similar to Edge with about 96% fulfillment. <br>
Wal Mart is about 7% cheaper but very limited selection, maybe
50%.<br>
Midwest had 100% fill but prices were about 22% higher. <br>
<br>
Theatrical DVDs only:<br>
Alliance had similar prices to Edge with a fill rate of around
95%.<br>
Wal-Mart was about 16% lower with a fill rate of 90%.<br>
Again </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Midwest
had 100% fill but prices were about 9% higher than Edge. </font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
My experience dealing with Midwest for nearly 20 years is that
their service is number one but it's paid for with higher prices.
Their online tools and fulfillment rate may offset the greater
title costs. That's what I'm currently trying to ascertain for our
situation. Yours may vary.<br>
<br>
Thanks to all.<br>

<pre class="moz-signature" cols="72">Good morning,
We are also thinking about what we will do with Edge having been bought
out.
Would you be willing to share your responses?
Thanks.

With the recent demise of Edge Entertainment, I am looking for DVD and
Music CD vendor recommendations.
Anyone feel strongly about the price and service they are receiving?
Thanks.
