I posted this in the "How about a list of..." thread a couple of threads down. Copy and paste:
"I have a problem with items I requested. Lets say I request three box sets. Then one arrives and I feel like I have to order it because if I don't someone else will snatch it. Then I order al kinds of shit to make up for the shipping (keep the cost per disc low). A week later another requested item arrives and I do the same thing.
This brings you alot of money and gets me alot of shit I didn't plan on buying (but that's my problem) but I would rather have a posibility that requested items are held untill all requested items are in (possibly pre-paid items). This is a lot to ask but it would be REALLY helpfull on getting what we want. Is this possible in the future or even possible to implement?"
The site http://www.imports.be works with this kind of system already. You can request items from a form and when they arrive you get an e-mail and you have three days to claim your titles before they go on to the site. If your entire request isn't in at one time you have to e-mail him and ask if he will hold it till the rest arrives.
It's not prepaid over there (which would be the most helpfull, but most difficult feature) but you know for sure that you get the items you requested asap.
In short: a way to request items and be sure to have all the items shipped in one order.
