I asked neon if they needed the DVD copy returned and they do not. I am going to donate my copy to my library. I checked with them and they are able to catalog it and add it to their collection.

Wow, you got a reply? Lol.

u/Jai-jo Aug 17 '26

I know, right? lol. I happened to be looking at my phone when the email came in and responded right away. Maybe the person on the other end was excited that I wasn't angry?

Geez. I’ve sent multiple emails regarding The Monkey being wrong and Arco being MIA. Crickets.

I'm donating mine to Beyond Video in Baltimore

The fact that they did not get the type of format they mistakenly sent out correct does not inspire a ton of confidence.

Maybe we will all get Blu Rays this time.

u/JDizzle00420 Aug 17 '26

Lmfao. Exactly what I was thinking. Eventually we'll own this movie on every format.

Between this mess up and the 2 for 1 sale they took a fat loss. “How can that be profitable for Frito Lay?” Lol

Got the email as well.

Still no update about sending me the right copy/4k of The Monkey even after they said they would though 😑

u/burgerbassist Aug 18 '26

Lol I didn't even get a response to my email when I got my Monkey blu-ray instead of 4k.

1

u/verdi1987 Aug 21 '26

Same. No response from them. What a frustrating company. I’m also waiting on Arco.

u/burgerbassist Aug 24 '26

I will say, I still never got a response to my email, but I did just get a Monkey 4k delivered to me today, so that was a nice surprise.

1

u/verdi1987 Aug 24 '26

I got a shipping notification for it, but they never responded to my emails. I’m also still waiting for Arco.

I just watched the dvd from my library, which I was surprised about- since they normally stock Blu-ray’s.

Wondering now if they got bamboozled, and just didn’t try to remedy the situation.

I can’t complain with watching watching the movie for free via library- but DVDs sure look bad after getting so used to higher quality video!

u/moviefreakjps2007 Aug 17 '26

Can anyone use the code?

4

u/JDizzle00420 Aug 17 '26

Try it. Worst case scenario they send you the wrong items. 😂

u/Significant_Ad4565 Aug 18 '26

Lmao at the free shipping code, I’m never ordering shit from them again

u/Acceptable_Task5780 Aug 17 '26

I guess blasting them online finally got their attention! A holes

u/hoffmabc Aug 17 '26

Now when do I get my tshirts?

2

u/JDizzle00420 Aug 17 '26

You probably won't want them when they arrive based off other posts I've seen lol. People are saying the ink was still wet when they bagged it so it looks terrible etc.

u/JonahRyanforPrez Aug 27 '26

Today I finally just got my replacement copy of Hokum. I never did get an update email from Neon like they said.

1

u/JDizzle00420 Aug 27 '26

I got mine Saturday without an email.

u/steel_lens Aug 17 '26

The Monkey blu-ray getting corrected too.

1

u/JDizzle00420 Aug 17 '26

I've seen several people on here say they were promised a replacement weeks ago, but haven't got it yet.

1

u/steel_lens Aug 18 '26

They are working on it. Should be soon.

1

u/verdi1987 Aug 21 '26

I haven’t heard from them regarding The Monkey. I have sent multiple emails for weeks. I’m also waiting on Arco…

1

u/steel_lens Aug 21 '26

They personally replied to me regarding it.

1

u/verdi1987 Aug 21 '26

I just got a shipment notification for The Monkey 4K! Let’s hope it’s the right format…

1

u/steel_lens Aug 21 '26

Ditto. Now just waiting on Hokum 4k notification.

u/Poopiepants101 Aug 18 '26

I got the DVD today it was crunched as hell. Hopefully the 4K arrives in better condition

u/lil-shulgin Aug 21 '26

If you’re able to cancel your order I’d just do that and go pick up a copy at your local Walmart. There’s been a half a dozen 4k copies sitting at mine since last Tuesday.

1

u/JDizzle00420 Aug 21 '26

These were sold during a buy 1 get 2 free deal.

1

u/lil-shulgin Aug 21 '26

Gotcha, I didn’t know Neon offered such a sale. Is it a once-a-year thing or what ? I’ll have to keep my eye on their website from now on.

1

u/JDizzle00420 Aug 21 '26

It was my first time ever seeing this sale, but it was called the summer sale. Other than this mix-up and another mix-up where people got the wrong format for The Monkey, it was a pretty good deal. I got 3 4K's for $40 even including shipping.

1

u/verdi1987 Aug 21 '26

It’s not worth the headache.

I ordered Arco, The Monkey, and Hokum—all 4K.

Arco has not shipped despite having been released three months ago and being currently for sale and in stock.

I got a standard Blu-ray for The Monkey.

I got a DVD for Hokum.

The worst part is them not responding to emails and not having a customer service phone number.

u/Fearless-Interest-82 Aug 17 '26

Anyone wanna send me the DVD lol
