I've heard some mixed things about the seller. price is really good though. Any thoughts? They aren't going to sign me up for some kind of Columbia House type thing, are they? Also, mod, feel free to change the link's referral ID or whatever.

Thanks

I'm very tempted to pick this up for this great price but I am worried about customs charges since I'm in the US. For those others that have previously ordered from this vendor and shipped to the US, did you have any problems?

Thanks.

[garmonbozia]

wow, what an amazing deal!!!! thanks!

I've never had a problem with DVDSoon on about 6 orders. However they can be slow getting items that are not in stock, and they charge your credit card immediately on all orders, including pre-orders. I would suggest doing more research on them before deciding to take the plunge and placing an order. Here is the most recent DVDSoon thread in the store forum discussing some of their policies that may help you.

ate it up, $30 shipped with the coupon. Thanks!

[litza]

Just ordered mine as well. Did anyone get a shipping confirmation yet? Or is this an "on order" item?

[cynthia]

This seems like a misprice, and in my experience with DVDSoon, the way they get out of misprices is taking your money and leaving the item on order forever.

I placed an order for Zelda: Four Swords for the GameCube in October and it is STILL on order. I've called them multiple times, but they tell me the "distributer says it is out of print. And if it goes back into print, the distributer says it will be a good six months before we'll get any." It was a new game back then and is still very much in print!

Also, they give refunds in store credit. You have to call to get your CC refunded.

Proceed with caution.

Yikes! I'll definiately stay away now.

[cynthia]

I'm not trying to scare anybody away. I am an Fidelity iCard member, and I think DVDSoon is good in general. They beat other etailers by a couple dollars on a lot of things. I just try to stay away from things that I know will probably be "on order."

[Damed]

I have used DVDSoon a LOT.

I'll be the first to say this about them:

If you want your DVDs RIGHT NOW... you don't want to order from them. They often times have the best prices for stuff, but it can take weeks (even months) to get your order... but you WILL get it. Personally, I have a huge backlog of titles to watch, so I can wait... but if it's a title you've got to have THIS INSTANT, this isn't the retailer for you.

I have ordered at least a dozen times from them, and I have always been pleased with the prices and the products. I've just accepted that if I order from them it may be a while before I get it.

[chente]

Sounds like to much of a pain in the butt. I'll pass.

[raining_helper]

I do not believe this is a mis-price, as the individual titles in the box are on sale for 9.98 each.

That would only be the cost for 4 of the movies then, not including another movie and the extra bonus features disc. I REALLY want to order this but don't want to get dicked over. I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two but anything more would irk me as well as their whole loophole with not giving you a refund unless you call the credit card company.

I just ordered this and Dead Like Me Season One with the 10% off. Both are "on order". I'm patient and willing to take a shot, thanks to the OP for the heads up!

[cloudburst]

I ordered one. This set is still listed at $70-80 atmazon and ddd. I have never had to wait more than 2 months for a dvd there. I have no complaints about their service (other than the wait) and have placed about 8-10 orders there. Thanks OP!

boxsets are usually cheaper than the individual discs individually.

E.g. all the Warner Boxsets (Classic Comedies, Film Noir, Hitchcock, Gangsters, Musicals, etc)

No you don't. You can request a credit to your credit card online.

[InnocentBlood]

this deal seems to be dead now - the price has changed to CAD$87.28

[Cameron]

96.98 for me...sorry i missed this one

[Dabaomb]

I thought that this was a price drop. I knew that I should've ordered this :mad:

[Digital Groove]

Well according to the other post the people who ordered will get jerked around now for awhile, so it may not have been a bad thing. I know I don't want to punch myself for missing this as of yet, hopefully someone can keep us posted.

[eau]

Darn! I missed it too :(

[cloudburst]

Finally got a shipping notice on this. It took about the usual 6 week wait that comes with ordering from dvdsoon, but the deal came through. Thanks OP!

[WillieTheShakes]

I was just gonna post the same thing, cloudburst. $41.69CDN shipped -- can't beat that, even with a month of wait time...

[Damed]

I came to say the same. Looks like their stock came in. Mine shipped yesterday for the deal price. Sweet! Thanks OP!

[SFranke]

Thanks for bumping the thread. My order is "packaging."

[dick_grayson]

I emailed them last week about what was taking so long. I told them they should call themselves "dvdnotsosoon" which they didn't find amusing. They told me to be patient and that it may ship within the next month. I doubt I'll order from them again.

To each their own.

If I'm getting a DVD set at this kind of discount, waiting 6 weeks for it is a small price to pay as far as I am concerned.

well that and the fact that they wouldn't reply to my emails. I sent several over the past few weeks and they would just email me back my order summary (which didn't have any info. on it anyway).

[Damed]

I can see that being frustrating.

For me, I'd rather deal with a live person (call me old fashioned) so if I have any inquiries from any dealer I usually call. That way I get my answer right away and have a name to reference if I ever have to escalate the issue.

[johnny-sparks]

Does anyone know who dvdsoon's mail carrier to the u.s. is? I have a tracking # for my shipment and I can't find the site to track package. Thanks again for posting deal!

[devinjc]

shweet, mine shipped too. I was hoping for sometime around August. This was my first order from dvdsoon, and I must say the whole "charge your credit card now, ship it in 6 weeks" plan is kind of amusing. Since I saved $35 eventually, there was this cool gambling aspect to the whole experience.

Of course, if I hadn't known this was likely when I ordered it, I'd probably be pissed instead of amused.

[MahatmaPetey]

ahh, i was worried it wouldn't ship until after i moved.

[JStoneRail]

Google Canada Post. For my shipment they reported:

2005/05/19 21:59 MONTREAL, QC Shipping details electronically submitted

Hopefully I'll receive it in a week after going through two postal systems and customs.
