What the junk. I ordered this on June 3... site says "in process." They haven't even charged my credit card for it yet. :/

I ordered mine on June 9, still have not recieved it yet. I called my credit card company, and they have gotten an authorization (hold) for the cost of the album, but it hasn't posted to my card yet. Technically they have been paid as as of the day I placed the order. Still showing in progress on their website as well. There's a couple other film soundtracks on their site that I'd love to have, but this maybe the only one I ever order from Varese. I loved the score of this movie.
They sometimes show "In Progress" even after they have shipped.

I'll keep that in mind, but I'm just a bit skeptical about ordering things online unless it's from places like Amazon. I've been burned too many times in the past.
I got an email reply from customer service saying they got a lot of orders and it's taking a long time for them to process (in order) and mine should ship early next week. I didn't really understand how something limited to only 5000 copies could overwhelm their shipping and ordering system, but that's the explanation they gave me. -shrug-
Since they are the label, they also have shipments to retail vendors in the mix, such as Screen Archives, FSM, MovieMusic.com and others.
They have to get their CDs first, since THEIR customers have pre-orders that need to be fulfilled.

That's true, which is why I said consumers. Though I would think it's easier to ship 5,000 CDs to Amazon, Best Buy, etc than it is to ship 1 CD to 5,000 people.

That would drive the costs up, since Amazon would take a hefty share for their part.
Producing a set like this is already very expensive, and if the price point is increased too much, Varese cannot make a profit, and may indeed be out of pocket a huge amount.
For this reason, they have their own store.
For general, non-limited releases, they do sell through Amazon. The 15 track OST for this very score is available that way.
