[fidodido]

Wow...anyone want to do an STL on the Margaret Cho boxset? I can't help but think that that's an error. And to knock it down another $.90 is just icing. ;)

I already added myself to the STL listing for it. Anyone else?

Edit: I also placed my order to discover that it didn't offer me to STL. And I ordered mine with Return of the King.

P.S. - If you are lucky enough to still get A9, go for it. I can't get my to work again.

[rfduncan]

Great price for Margaret Cho - The Collection! Revolution alone costs the same price and the Collection contains all 3 films.

Same thing with Broadway & Hollywood: The Songwriters (Box Set)!

BTW - There is no STL option for these titles.

THANKS OP!

[Samuel]

Thanks, I ordered Wire In the Blood and The Margret Cho Set. Amazon didn't display an option for stl though. wonder if it is because of the already deep discount?

[eholder]

Cool, Thanks for the post. I ordered Dinner for Five, Margaret Cho, and Traffik. My order did offer STL but I didn't see any requests in the forum, or on the STL pages. Maybe someone else can get it to work.

[jamieoni]

Same here (except I already had Traffik). I guess I should've looked here first, but then, if we were all worried about another $1--that's just greedy! ;)

But STL is working for these titles.

[focker]

I was tempted to order Traffik, having heard so much about it, but I read that some of the foreign language dialogue is dubbed on the US release. Maybe I'll look into getting it from another region.

[Brent L]

I ordered three:

-Dinner For Five: Season 1
-Margaret Cho Collection
-Wire in the Blood: The Complete First Season

I couldn't use STL for each three and still get free shipping though. It ended up being about 70 cents short or something like that, maybe even less. So I got STL on two, and the other I just bought at the full sale price.

[Samuel]

I just got an stl discount for two Joseph Campbell sets priced at $8.99:

Thanks. Finally picking up Russian Ark. :)

Here you go guys:

[kenbenobi]

I should mention the trick I did to get free shipping. Since most of these titles are $8.09 with STL, ordering 3 will just miss getting free shipping (by 73 cents!). So I deleted one item from my cart and re-added it manually (without the STL discount). So I paid 90 cents more for one, but I got free shipping. So if you only want 3 titles, there ya go!

[kenbenobi]

I had the STL option, but did anyone get the 1.57% discount? I tried using that that search function over and over, but never got the A2 discount to appear...

Actually, the joke's on you, because free shipping applies to any order that is $25 or above BEFORE discounts. I know it says on the screen that you need to add more, but you don't. Try it and see.

Nothing personal, of course. I just really wanted to use the expression "the joke's on you." :) Hope this information is helpful for everyone for the future.

[drjay]

Also finally getting Russian Ark...

[drjay]

My cart needs $.03 for free shipping, anyone got a suggestion?

[Samuel]

You should give Amazon filler a try: http://www.filleritem.com/ . It'll be more than $.03 but the shipping savings will make up for it. :)

:mad: Thanks for the info. I can't believe I let them fool me... Not only did I get ripped of 90 cents, but I could have had some cough drops for only 9 cents more according to that filleritem site listed above! Damn, I won't sleep well tonight...

[masbrad]

Why are the Jospeh Campbells so cheap? I look at Joseph Campbell - Mythos and it was marked down over 90.00. Is it a price mistake or justsomething that no one was buying?

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

I already own the Campbells, paid like $50 each over a year ago, but at these prices I just had to get a second set as a gift. They are great titles, especially for star wars fans.

But, there is something weird about these prices across the board anyway. Given its history, don't be surprised if Amazon lets it run for a couple of days and then comes back with "Oops, sorry, we made a boo-boo and now you have to pay the full price if you really want it."

[victant]

Hey, thanks for pointing this sale out!! I'm sure it helped to generate the STL-fest that I received today. I was finally able to pick up Duel and Russian Ark, with a couple of blind buys to boot!! :up:

[Brent L]

I don't know what is up at Amazon, but I'm loving it. I ordered the two CYE sets and Da Ali G Show last week, and I got all of that yesterday. It took right at a week for my order to go through, for them to pack it, for them to ship it, and for it to get to me.

Well, now they've done it again. I placed two orders with them last night, LAST NIGHT. The following has already shipped:

1 of: Dinner for Five - Season 1
1 of: Margaret Cho Collection (I'm the One That I Want / Notorious C.H.O. / Revolution)
1 of: Wire in the Blood - The Complete First Season (The Mermaids Singing / Shadows Rising / Justice Painted Blind)


And the following is listed as "shipping soon":

1 of: Joseph Campbell - Mythos
1 of: Traffik - Miniseries
1 of: Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth
1 of: Broadway & Hollywood Legends - The Songwriters Collection (Kander & Ebb / Alan Jay Lerner / E.Y. "Yip" Harburg / Sheldon Harnick / Burton Lane / Mitch


Once again, two huge thumbs up to Amazon so far. After countless subpar/horrible experiences with them, they are finally coming through for me.

I've also noticed that they are sending these items (at least the order that has indeed shipped already) to me via UPS instead of USPS as they have done for all of my past orders.

[pilot]

place the STL requests in this thread: http://www.dvdtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=399686 ...as usual they *WILL* be deleted from this thread, as any future threads like this instead of being in the STL forum where they belong.

[JohnBeas]

I picked up Broadway & Hollywood Legends - I did not get the A9 1.57% discount. I had been getting it the last couple months. I wonder if that discount is now dead.

[MrE]

Awesome. Thanks.

[Dabaomb]

I picked up Broadway & Hollywood Legends - I did not get the A9 1.57% discount. I had been getting it the last couple months. I wonder if that discount is now dead.

the same thing happened to me. In the A9 FAQ on Amazon.com it says that you have to search at least every few weeks to keep the discount active. I had lost it for one order but I did a few searches hoping that it would come back. It came back a day or two later after those searches that I did.

[RevKarl]

...Once again, two huge thumbs up to Amazon so far. After countless subpar/horrible experiences with them, they are finally coming through for me...Another surprised, but happy camper here. All four of my items shipped this morning...the first time I've had a (seemingly) Amazon mispriced order honored.

[SlingshotBandit]

well, i got in on this. many thanks to the OP (Classic Films)!

I didn't get the A9 discount, and I even tried to do a couple of searches using that search engine (lol) to see if it would come up right before the order, but no dice. i tried to be all crafty, but i guess i'll just have to use it about once every week. (I tend to go on Amazon to read reviews way more than once a week, anyway.)

I bought:

-Dinner For Five: Season 1
-Margaret Cho Collection
-Joseph Campbell: Mythos
-Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth

Wondering whether or not Wire in the Blood, Traffik, and Russian Ark are good blind buys.

[rbf1138]

I'm pretty pissed...I ordered 2 copies of Dinner for Five for myself and my cousin, who I'm seeing on Sunday and need to give her the DVD as a gift. Even though I ordered yesterday, with next day shipping, which garaunteed I'd recieve it today, it has yet to ship. I sent Amazon an angry email asking for my money back on the shipping, at the very least.

[Brent L]

Well when did you buy it yesterday? About what time was it? It says that it usually takes around 24 hours for that item to ship.

[rbf1138]

It said if I bought it within the next 6 something hours it would ship same day...not to mention, it doesnt look like it shipped today either, which wouldve been fine...

[young]

[Dabaomb]

No kidding. I spent $1000 on DVDs this morning from this evil thread. :(

$1000?

If you ordered one of each title in this thread, that would be $228. What did you order 5 copies of each title? :hscratch:

[iexx]

Thanks, ordered

(1) Joseph Campbell: Mythos
(2) Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth

[illennium]

If I get my order cancelled because of you, you won't be a wannabe--you'll be a has-been. :mad:

Thank you for your selfless acts. Obviously you do not plan on eBaying these.

[Pasolini]

I hope a few of you give CINEMANIA a try -- I know one of the directors and they've really crafted a funny, interesting documentary about compulsive obsessive movie fans (switch it to dvd and it'd be a movie about all of us!)

I really recommend it for this price.

I also will finally be picking up Russian Ark -- I've been wanting it since day one but haven't found it used, or on sale, anywhere.

[g]

I loved cinemania. a great disk I netflixed it

[Stangman68]

The Margaret Cho Collection is showing up as $37.49 when I put it in my cart. :(

[Brent L]

Joseph Campbell's Mythos is now $74.99 when you put it into your cart. Are all of them like this now? Were all of these just misprices?

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

Was it all just a dream Toto?

[speedyray]

The Margaret Cho Collection is showing up as $37.49 when I put it in my cart. :(

I got lucky, I put it in my cart with a couple of Christmas presents a few hours ago, but did not click the confirm order button. When you posted that I opened another window to confirm it had jumped in price. I quickly hit the confirm order button and it accepted my order without changing to the new price. $8.09 with share the love.

I had share the love for Mythos and several others, did not take advantage of it, I will probably regret that.

[SlingshotBandit]

I placed my order yesterday, and the order status page says that my dvds are expected to ship on the 10th. I used free supersaver shipping. At the risk of not getting them for the price listed, anyone think I should switch shipping methods? I've never changed the status of an order after I placed it, and before it ships, but I guess you can do that with Amazon.

It's not a major concern, but these dvds are at a great price (especially the Joseph Campbell ones), and I have a feeling -- since they haven't been shipped -- that I'll be a victim of the dreaded Amazon "cancellation" notice.

[substeve]

I had a feeling these might be big price mistakes and ordered multiple copies of several titles. A copy of each for my collection and the rest to be used for Christmas gifts ;-) Hopefully Amazon honors my order!

Slingshot -- for the Mythos set at least I don't think changing the shipping method will help much. It's got like a week long ship time listed. If the order makes it that far I don't think it will matter if it's overnighted or free shipping. Maybe if you ordered something that's in stock and ready to ship today it will help...

[cine]

Joseph Campbell's Mythos was again $8.99 ... apparently just for a fleeting moment. I got in on it, but its ship date is 2/15/05!

[DirkBelig]

I got a STL for the Cho set and it was $8.09 this afternoon and whatever it is now - not $8.09. Now, I've got the Songwriter's set in STL for cheap. Sheesh.

[rbf1138]

I think that if youve entered the ordered and they give you a ship date, they really have to honor it...That would be horrible business if they cancelled orders at that point. My ship date for both Campbell sets is the 15th, I really hope they wont pull a cancellation, and if they do I'll make sure to send an angry email. The fact that they were at that price for so long makes it tough for them to claim it was a misprice. Had this been a ten minute website error maybe they could cancel, but this was up fro long enough with enough orders that it would be a big problem if they cancelled.

edit: as a followup to their shipping mistake, where I recieved my order for 2 Dinner for Five's in two days instead of next day, they promptly refunded me for the 12.93 shipping charge, so right now they're on my good side. Recieved the DVDs today.

[creekdipper]

A huge THANK YOU to the original poster of this thread! Got many gifts as well as some sets (Thick As Thieves, for example) that I had wanted for a while but had balked at the price (even with the DDD 20% off sale). This thread made it possible to get some fantastic deals on great quality DVDs. Managed to place orders & get shipping confirmation for everything except MYTHOS (that's what I get for not checking back and reading all the posts). Oh, well...hard to complain when I got 99% of order filled. Thanks again for the post...and thank you, Amazon & DVDTalk!!

[speedyray]

I was banking on these as being big price mistakes and ordered multiple copies of several titles. A copy of each for my collection and the rest to be sold for a big time profit ;-) Hopefully Amazon honors my order!

Not to say there are not members here who do it, but that is heavily frowned upon on this board. You have been here long enough to know that, if you do it fine, but don't brag about it.

You must be new to the bargains forum. Amazon has a history of letting "price mistakes" run for days and then cancelling orders just as they are scheduled to ship. Some people, myself included, believe that such tactics are essentially loss-leaders without the loss. Amazon denies any such intenions, of course but it has happened enough times over the last few years to be an established pattern at the very least.

[kenbenobi]

I didn't notice it until after I placed my order, and didn't want to place a new order. I had never heard of it, but after reading about it, I actually sent the link to some friends, hoping they might order it, and I could just watch it! :)

[substeve]

Apologies If I offended anyone. I didn't intend for my post to come off as bragging. It's more happiness that I finally hit on one of these deals (which is tentative happiness at best considering Amazon's cancelation history!)

I've edited my post accordingly...

[substeve]

FYI... The Power of Myth is back down to $8.99 again! It's not the Mythos set but the next best thing. Not sure what's going on with Amazon -- prices are all over the place lately...

By the way, the sale is still on, but the following are now sold out:

Wire in the Blood - The Complete First Season ~ Robson Green
Traffik - Miniseries ~ Alastair Reid
Margaret Cho Collection ~ Margaret Cho
Joseph Campbell - Mythos ~ Joseph Campbell
Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth ~ Joseph Campbell

Margaret Cho Collection
Dinner For Five - The Complete First Season

Now I just need to get Power of Myth, and I'll have all of my items from this sale.

[Brent L]

I suppose I can just post this in this thread:

I just finished watching the first episode of Wire in the Blood, and WOW what a show. If some of you guys didn't pick it up, and if you ever can in the future, trust me on this. It's more than worth a purchase, and is one of the best DVD deals ever for just $8.xx. It's without a doubt one of my favorite blind buys ever.

[cynthia]

I received Wire in the Blood today, and just noticed it has an accolade from DVD Talk on the front cover!

<i>"A top notch psychological thriller." </i>- DVD Talk

[Brent L]

Haha, I didn't even notice that.

[Jah-Wren Ryel]

I think quotes like that are totally meaningless because ANYONE could have posted that here at dvdtalk.com. It could be from an actual review, it could be from some posting by joe sixpack or even an astroturfer.

You're all very lucky. Campbell's Mythos appears to be OOS and my estimated ship date is 2/15!

[illennium]

So far I've received The Power of Myth. Wire in the Blood and Dinner for Five have shipped. Girlfight, Cinemania, and Duel are shipping soon (tomorrow). Now I'm just waiting for Mythos.

Huge thanks to the OP. I almost bought both Joseph Campbell sets during the last DDD sale, and almost ordered Wire in the Blood from Amazon.co.uk during my annual R2 binge. Glad I held off on all of these.

Man, I got the Mythos shipping delay e-mail as well.

I ordered Mythos before this deal even hit the Bargain forum. I guess Amazon doesn't put you in any kind of first-in, first-out queue for filling orders. At least this wasn't a Christmas present or anything.

The original poster was referring to this website:

You can use it to search for specific titles to find the best price on the web, but also on the home page it lists low price deals every day for several diferent websites including Amazon. The OP just copied the Amazon deals for that day and created a thread.

Wow. That was odd. I typed in "www _ dvdpricesearch _ com" as the first url, but somehow it got readjusted to the link it shows now. Did a mod alter that? Just curious. The first link is just a link to the pricegrabber website (which is the second link I posted). Hmm.

Anyway...yeah, www _ dvdpricesearch _ com is the way to go.

[rbf1138]

It's been awhile now, but how many other people who ordered Mythos still have not recieved it? I got in on this deal early, and while I got both Power of Myth and Dinner for Five a month ago, the shipping date on Mythos is estimated between Dec. 18 and January 30th for me. This is ridiculous, and if this never ends up shipping, I'm giving Amazon hell. Is there any possibility they would give me credit to amazon worth as much as some of the marketplace sellers currently are listing Mythos at? That deal for 8.99 was incredible, and something tells me they dont want to lose money on this and are not ordering any more to ship.

That deal for 8.99 was incredible, and something tells me they dont want to lose money on this and are not ordering any more to ship.

I still haven't received Mythos or the Margaret Cho Collection. I'm actually not holding my breath that they'll get them back in stock. If you look at their site, they don't even have either for sale (only on Amazon Marketplace).

They might give you a gift certificate for like $5 but definitely not one for $50+.

Well, I checked Wellspring, Mythos' publishers site, and they are still selling Mythos, albeit Mythos I & II, for 99, which is the price of the Mythos dvd. I'm going to email and ask why if the dvd is still available to buy from the publisher my order wont be honored. That's bad business, and though it was pointed out earlier in this thread that they are known for doing it, I'll be sure to let amazon know that if they don't come through with this order that I wont be using their website again, and I will advise friends against it as well.

[Badlands]

I ordered Mythos on December 8th, it was shipped on January 5th, and I finally received it on January 7th. After the delay of nearly a month, I didn't think I'd ever see it, so I was suprised to check Amazon one day and see that it was on its way. Hopefully everyone out there still waiting will also receive it.

BTW, there is no way Amazon made money on that order. I used Super Saver shipping, and they shipped my order in 4 different shipments, two of which they sent just before Christmas using Next Day Air! My order included Mythos, Margaret Cho, Power of Myth, Russian Ark, and Wire in the Blood at $8.09 apiece with STL. What a deal!

Might you not want to wait until your order is actually cancelled before doing this?

There's no indication yet that they aren't going to honor this (my Margaret Cho just shipped last week, so they're still getting to these). Sending an irate e-mail right now doesn't seem like it'll serve much purpose.

[agitprop]

Got my copies of Coronation Street and Wire in the Blood and they made great Xmas presents as many relatives and friends are fans of both the world's longest run soap and Robson Green's excellent series

[cine]

I too think we ought to wait until they cancel the orders before sending in any protest emails. Sending one now might be counter-productive in that it might make them aware of how much money they are going to lose with all the outstanding orders of Mythos, causing them to cancel our orders.

[victant]

Just received confirmation of shipping for Duel and the Margaret Cho collection. Never thought I'd receive this....

[Wannabe]

Mythos is in stock now.

[The Exister]

Picked up Duel and Thick as Thieves - thanks for the heads-up!

[rbf1138]

Mythos is in-stock, and I called Amazon and had them make my order "priority" so it should ship next week. However, the guy said they have over 1,000 on backorder, so it could easily get bumped back again.

[cine]

Has anyone received their Mythos recently? Amazon is showing its availability as "Usually ships within 1 to 2 months"!!!

[rbf1138]

What Amazon is doing is complete bullsh&t. They had it listed for a week at shipping in 4-5 days. They had my ship date as yesterday, as I had ordered 2 months ago on December 9th. Of course, it didn't ship, and was once again pushed back a month. The fact that they told me they have a huge backorder, yet they still continue to take orders for this is ridiculous.

[Lokimok]

I placed my order on December 8th. I got 3 of the discs in time for Christmas, but I've twice had to approve a delay for Mythos. The thing that bothers me the most is that I sent STL to a friend who obviously ordered AFTER me & yet she did receive a copy of Mythos - & before xmas. I guess I should look on the bright side - that I could borrow her copy, but it's just not right.

[Wannabe]

Site now says Mythos usually ships within 4 to 5 days. But my delivery estimate is March 3, 2005 - March 16, 2005.

[garmonbozia]

Dinner For Five
Margaret Cho: The Collection
Russian Ark
Joseph Campbell: Mythos
Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth
Wire In The Blood: Season #1

these are the 6 things i ordered when this sale was going on. I got Dinner For Five and Russian Ark right away of course. I got The Power of Myth a week or so later, it was still before Christmas..... I got the Margaret Cho box set shortly after Christmas....

and now...today....I finally got a shipping confirmation for Wire In the Blood!!! :)

I am now just waiting on Mythos.

[Dabaomb]

I finally received my Margaret Cho box. I'm still waiting on Mythos though.

[jamieoni]

I finally received my Margaret Cho box. I'm still waiting on Mythos though.

I wonder if you're the reason I got a STL kickback for that set out of nowhere, then. It was a nice surprise. :)

[drmoze]

SlingshotBandit thanks for your response, but...

The topic of this thread is:
Cheap Stuff From Amazon Per DVD Price Search

So I'm looking for answer to the question:
How do you do a "per DVD price search" at Amazon.com?

If you go to the dvd pr i ce se a r ch dot com site (don't want to have the info altered to an inferior search engine!) then you can go to the advanced search page (there's a link up top) and enter price criteria, including those dvd's priced lowest at Amazon (as well as max price, min % off SRP, etc.)

[QuanTum]

I know I ordered Mythos well before many of the people ordered it who have already received theirs and mine was delayed yet again.

[dx23]

If you go to the price grabb*r site (don't want to have the info altered to an inferior search engine!) then you can go to the advanced search page (there's a link up top) and enter price criteria, including those dvd's priced lowest at Amazon (as well as max price, min % off SRP, etc.)

I don't know if I'm at the wrong site, but I don't seem to find any advance search button or area in pricegrabber.com .

That's the one. I'll try editing...

[mnementh]

Ugh. Amazon just bumped the shipping estimate to April 12. :mad:

[mnementh]

I complained to Amazon and got the following reply:

We are very sorry for the delay in completing the item "Joseph
Campbell - Mythos" in your order.

In looking into the situation, I see that the shipment of your order
has been delayed by a system error. Our technical specialists are
working hard to correct the problem so that we can ship your order
as soon as possible.

To help compensate you for this unexpected change, I have upgraded
the method of shipment for this order to "Two-Day Shipping". There
is of course no additional charge for this.

We now expect to ship the item "Joseph Campbell - Mythos" by the new
date listed on your ccount : March 07, 2005.

[illennium]

I just called and got upgraded to free one-day shipping, and my estimated delivery date got bumped up to March 8-9.

[Wannabe]

Let us know if your items actually ship. Thanks.

[rbf1138]

I called too, for the third time in 3 months, and got moved back to March 7.

[cine]

I sent them an email, got the ship-date moved back to March 9 and an offer of a shipping upgrade. Today I just got an email requesting approval for a one-month delay!!!

[rbf1138]

Yeah, that's happened to me about...6 times now, yet of course it says on the site shipping in 6-11 days. I'm betting they send out the new orders of it, at 90 dollars before any of us get it.

[cine]

Anyone getting their Mythos shipped yet?

[illennium]

Oh, hell no. Mine got bumped back to April 13 the day after I called.

[mnementh]

Amazon's system keeps bumping my shipment date to April. Customer service has set it to March 9 two times. The first time, they gave me free two-day shipping and the second, free one-day shipping. It didn't ship today but they gave me a $20 gift certificate. I don't mind if they keep bumping the shipment date as long as they keep sending me gift certificates. -ptth-

[Christi P]

How did you get a $20 gift certificate? Did you ask for it?

[illennium]

Did you ask for the certificate? Did you complain? I may call tomorrow to get one.

[mnementh]

I've been complaining every time my shipment date got bumped. It's flip-flopped from March to April three times in the past week. I guess a gift certificate is a step up from free one-day shipping.

[rbf1138]

I've also called and been moved then bumped 3 or 4 times, yet I've only gotten a $5 gift cert. Damnit, 20 would make me a lot less annoyed with this.

[Wannabe]

There's obviously a problem with their inventory system regarding this title. To see if it's actually in stock, who wants to volunteer to try buying (and returning) Mythos at full price?

[Dabaomb]

I think that you asked this before. No one is gonna volunteer to be the guinea pig. If you wanna know so badly, then you be the guinea pig -rolleyes-

[Wannabe]

I think that you asked this before.
You are wrong.

[Dabaomb]

You are wrong.

my bad, I thought that someone posted something similar to this...it must've been a different thread.

However, I did find this post...very interesting.

No kidding. I spent $1000 on DVDs this morning from this evil thread. :(

I got the same e-mail a couple days ago. I called to inquire about why it's still listed on the site if it's completely unavailable, and was told about 14 different lies by the CSR before I finally gave up. Oh well... :(

[Christi P]

I just tried to call Amazon.com customer service number 800-201-7575 and I couldn't find a way to get off the automated computer menu and talk to a person. Is there another number to call to talk to a live person?

Also, what is the best way to get 'apology' gift certificates? Some people on this thread say they were offered gift certificates from $5 to $20 because of the 'Mythos' problems, and I have never been offered any.

[garmonbozia]

that's complete bullshit.
I haven't gotten the cancellation email yet....i just got another email asking me to approve another extension on the delivery window though.....

[Wannabe]

I got the email for Mythos today too. But I did have two orders, and only one was cancelled. I wonder when they'll cancel the other one?

[cine]

Anyone receiving their Mythos yet?

[John Sinnott]

I received an e-mail cancelling Mythos last night. :(

[mnementh]

I received a cancellation e-mail too. I wish Amazon would just admit they had a pricing error instead of giving me the runaround and blaming system errors and their supplier not having anymore copies.

[Dabaomb]

I received an e-mail cancelling Mythos last night. :(

same here :(

[BiMonSciFiCon]

I never received an email cancelling this Mythos and now when i log onto amazon - Mythos is no longer listed in my order history

[garmonbozia]

about 2 weeks ago they finally cancelled all remaining orders and now the title cannot even be ordered at all:
