FYE DOTD 12/5 only: Oliver Stone Collection - $15 probably less after $20 rebate

[blaze1984]

Not sure what the price will be yet, they've usually been marking these down the day of the sale. Right now the price is $35 and there is a $20 rebate:

Link to rebate:
http://ak.buyservices.com/buy_assets/fye/clientassets/specials/popups/rebates/12052006DOTDfyedvds.pdf

This one looks super hot as the title includes: Born on the 4th of July, The Doors, JFK (Director's Cut), Platoon Salvador, Talk Radio, Wall Street, Any Given Sunday (Director's Cut), Heaven and Earth, Natural Born Killers, Nixon, Oliver Stone's America, U-Turn AND the Ultimate Oliver Stone Bonus Disc containing Looking for Fidel, Stone's second Castro documentary.

well they didn't lower the price...

[dvds4all2006]

if someone want to pick me up one since i live in canada ... i will paypal you some cash for the set(and for you time) and pay for the shipping

[db27]

as an fyi folks this is also $34.99 in store (fye, coconuts, wherehouse, goody, etc...) and there is a $15 dollar MIR as well on top of that. Great set, I believe a twec exclusive, but I may be wrong.

Confirmed in-store at fye today. Thanks.

$34.99, less a $15 rebate that printed out at the register. I had vowed to stay away from fye, but even without the rebate, $34.99 is a very good price for this set. The rebate just sweetens the deal, even though I'm sure I'll have to make a call or two to get the rebate processed correctly.

[alfonsosoriano]

So the price might drop again you are saying?

I thought I saw the Oliver Stone Collection on the BOGO DVD Box set table. Is that promotion over, and thus the $15 rebate on the box set for this week?

[alfonsosoriano]

D'oh! The date is 12/5...tomorrow.

LOL!

[jeffrey r]

I thought I saw the Oliver Stone Collection on the BOGO DVD Box set table. Is that promotion over, and thus the $15 rebate on the box set for this week?

At the store near my office where I bought mine today (6th Ave. in midtown NY), it was not on the BOGOF DVD table. It was in a different part of the DVD section separately marked with sale stickers at $34.99. It might be worth it to check out if it is BOGOF, but I didn't have time to bother.

It also didn't indicate anywhere in the store that there was a rebate on the set, but I took a shot based upon what the poster said above, and sure enough, the rebate printed out at the register. Even the salesperson was surprised how cheap it was. The in-store rebate form shows the rebate period as 11/30/06 - 1/10/07. As to the sales price at $34.99, who knows how long that will last.

3X POST FTW!!! Will check this deal out after work today.

[blaze1984]

*is confused at topic title*

yes, if you look back at all the deal of the day deals, each one drops by about $5-$7 the day of the sale, the day after the price goes back up...

chappelle's show season 2 was $32 on the DOTD sale day, now its $37 again... http://shop.fye.com/product.aspx?sku=40703994&loc=50244


same thing happened with family guy and the simpsons... i didn't pay attention on seinfeld or the elvis set...

[alfonsosoriano]

Thanks man, I'll hopefully will get in on this. What time does the price change? Midnight or in the morning sometime?

[blaze1984]

Thanks man, I'll hopefully will get in on this. What time does the price change? Midnight or in the morning sometime?

i was up at 5 am last night, and it changed around then... previous days, i've seen it at about 3:30 am, and it had yet to update

so i'm guessing if you're a normal person, and not nocturnal like myself, you should be able to get it first thing in the morning...

edit: of course i meant eastern standard time for everything posted

[alfonsosoriano]

Alright I'll check tomorrow morning before class. Again, thanks for the update/post. Looks like a sweet deal even without the rebate.

[alfonsosoriano]

also I like your sig >_<

[Knives]

any Fye coupons

[fliggil]

so before I trek out, it has been confirmed that the rebate will print out tonight (12/4) even though the DOTD is for 12/5?

[Sweet Baby James]

any Fye coupons
10% off plus free shipping-

MCOCT2006.

[SkyDog]

so before I trek out, it has been confirmed that the rebate will print out tonight (12/4) even though the DOTD is for 12/5?By the look of things posted so far, there is a $15 rebate that is valid from 11/30/06 - 1/10/07 at FYE B&M, but there is a $20 rebate that is good tomorrow online only.

[Sweet Baby James]

but there is a $20 rebate that is good tomorrow online only.
Plus you get 10% off with the coupon and you can avoid the mall(something that I always favor) because of the free shipping.

[vcuram]

Will they still honor the price and rebate if they sell out? Or would I be better off buying just after midnight so the rebate is good, just to make sure they have it in stock?

[FeelingGreat]

hey, that coupon code "MCOCT2006" doesn't work. Does anyone have a another?

[HTN]

FYI - I just checked in-store and the Oliver Stone collection is $34.99 with $15 rebate. Unfortunately, it is no longer a part of the BOGO promotion. My store still had a stack of the box set still on the BOGO table though. Also, the Ultimate Matrix set is no longer part of the BOGO promotion and its price has gone back up to $54.99 from $29.99.

[Sweet Baby James]

hey, that coupon code "MCOCT2006" doesn't work. Does anyone have a another?
:hscratch: I just checked and it still works for me.

[FeelingGreat]

apparently you can buy this set for $34.99 online. so if you buy it online and then print out the rebate form and fill it out and send it in, will you get the rebate?

Also, do you have to buy on 12/5 for them to honor the rebate??

Anyone else with additional coupon code to lower price further?

[alfonsosoriano]

Yeah on the rebate it says "good only for purchases on 12/5/06" or something of that nature.

[FeelingGreat]

OK, tried the coupon again and it does work. I had copy and paste the coupon from here and it looks like the "." was also copied and so it didn't work.

price is $31 after couon code. will wait till 12/5 to order to get rebate.

If rebate is $20, then final price will be $11. Not bad. Unfortunately, I had already ordered Platoon from jr.com.

[yeldarb367]

I'll be checking out in the morning hopefully. Thanks OP. :up:

still worth it even if you have one of the movies... for $11 you can't go wrong on this one (or probably closer to $10 or so after taxes)

[Rothlover]

I have 6 of the movies, wondering what I should do. If this is btw 10-15 seems like I can't NOT buy it.

[Bob511]

Born On The Fourth Of July, Nixon and The Doors which aren't anamorphic...R-rated Natural Born Killers....

I only have NBK of his movies and it's the unrated. Anamorphic or not doesn't mean jack squat to me.

[Linn1]

Anyone got a copy of the $15 rebate?

[JohnBeas]

Its 2:40am (Tue) and I went ahead and ordered it. When I got to the page with my confirmation it says I ordered it on MONDAY 12/4! Why do I have a feeling I'm going to get screwed on the $20 rebate?! And apparently I can't cancel the order online.

I did the same freaking thing. I didn't even think about them using Pacific time as their standard. If you hear anything about still being able to use the coupon, let me know.

Actually, if you click on Help, then email CS, you can send them a message. One of the subject options is to cancel an order. I sent an email using the rebates subject asking if I can still use it since I technically ordered on 12/5 here.

everyone relax, wait till about 5 am... they don't sell out of these things (i've never seen a DOTD sell out (Chappelle's show Season 2 was $8 on one of these and that didn't sell out)... beyond that the price will probably drop when they do make the DOTD... read the other posts...

[cverneau]

Just ordered one.
The MCOCT2006 works with this.
Thanks to the O.P.!

[jeffrey r]

Ordered one online also. With the 10% coupon and free shipping, my total with tax came to about $34. So only $14 after the $20 rebate. Pretty sick for this set. This beats my in-store purchase without the 10% coupon and with the $15 rebate, so that will be going back to the store. Thanks OP.

[alfonsosoriano]

Will it drop or not?!

lol

[kmac2878]

I'm in:

$34.01 - $20.00 rebate = $14.01 :up:

Nice Christmas present for my brother - thanks OP! :up:

[vegasbaby]

Do we need to cut out the UPC for the rebate?

[cleaver]

Do we need to cut out the UPC for the rebate?
No, according to the rebate

[Duh Vuh Duh]

32.99 - 20 = 12.99

12.99 for 14 discs, $0.93 per disc, sweet deal. Thanks for posting the 10% off code.

[mh4268]

Does any one have this set. I mean this price just seems too crazy, will the discs blow up my dvd player or something? Less than a buck a disc. Almost as bad as the early days of dvds, reel.com was it? just clearing up warehouse space I guess.

[HTN]

FYI - Even though you can still add it to your cart with a status of "in stock", the deal of the day icon on the main home page shows "sold out (http://ak.buyservices.com/buy_assets/fye/clientassets/sidebox_images/home/dealoftheday2006/dotd12052006_300x350.jpg) ". If this is any indication of the Die Hard box set from last year, some people waited weeks for their orders to be fulfilled. Good luck to those who got in early.

EDIT: They must still be taking in order despite the "sold out" notice on the icon. They have now increased the icon size from the original 59x73 to 121x150 pixels.

[alfonsosoriano]

Damn. >_<

[FeelingGreat]

I placed my order for this around 11:00 AM central time. It was instock when I placed it. Hmm......wonder if I will get mine

[alfonsosoriano]

Listed as backorder on the product page now.

Err...I refreshed the page and now it's back to in stock.

Whatever >_<

[alfonsosoriano]

I placed an order. If it goes through, awesome, if not, maybe I can get down the road for the same price.

[theWitcher]

Since I'm taking a vacation day and there is an FYE within a couple of miles from my house, I went over there this morning to pick this up.

Apparently -- maybe obviously :rolleyes: to people who pay attention to these things -- the Deal Of The Day promotion is only online, and I was only offered the $15 rebate at checkout. Also, this rebate requires cutting the UPC off the outer case -- or at least that's what the rebate form states. (No option to use the little Proof of Purchase tabs on the inner spine according to that form.) I'm not a big Oliver Stone fan; I didn't really balk at defacing it slightly since it still holds the inner cases fairly snugly.

Assuming the rebate is fulfilled, the set will cost around $20 plus tax and a stamp (and an outer case with a hole in it.) The Doors and Nixon have Disk 1 printed on the disk; any bonus materials on Disk 2 aren't in this box. JFK's Special Features menu references Additional Special Features Located on Other Disc.

My copy, however, includes an anamorphic Born On The Fourth Of July in contradiction to the DVD Talk reviews quote posted above. I don't think R1 16x9 versions of The Doors or Nixon have been published yet.

The N. Dekalb Mall FYE had at least three more copies as of a few hours ago.

[HTN]

I hope you haven't cut into your box yet, FYE rebate processing (rebateshq.com) has been accepting the yellow price tag as replacement for UPC bar code for quite a while now.

[jeffrey r]

Also, this rebate requires cutting the UPC off the outer case -- or at least that's what the rebate form states.

It sounds like you may have already cut your box, but don't forget that you can use the fye price sticker with the UPC code indicated as the UPC for purposes of the rebate. You do not have to cut the box. The problem was always for internet orders, which are delivered without the price sticker. But if you buy in-store, just use the price sticker.

And good news about the anamorphic Born on the Fourth. I thought I recalled reading some time ago that the review was wrong regarding this.

[alfonsosoriano]

On the rebate form I printed out from the first post in the topic it just says to send the rebate form and the fye.com email confirmation email and packing slip. Do I need to send a UPC?

[Jtnguyen12]

Darn it! It sold OUT :(

I should buy earlier this morning b4 i headout pickup Hellsing Ultimate Collection set at BB :(

[dcprules]

Sold out already?? URG!!! It will still let me place the order but it'll be on backorder. Do you think that would still work for the rebate since I did order it today?

[kenbenobi]

I just placed my order for this. Yes, it is still sold out, but I had it in my cart already, and it let me place the order! $33.25 shipped! I forgot to use my gift card though, but at least I used the coupon...

EDIT: Apparently you can order it again now. It no longer says SOLD OUT on the banner. But it does say it is backordered...

[yeldarb367]

There site keeps crashing on me. :down:

Yes! Got it to work. Let's just hope it doesn't take them a year to ship the backorders and process the rebates.

Well -- that sucks. :grunt: My box is already cut and my rebate's already sealed in an envelope -- along with both Ultimate Superman offers: rebate and poster offer. Thankfully, neither Superman offer required destroying the package.

But thanks for the info -- I'll keep that in mind for the next time I consider bothering with FYE.

[Sweet Baby James]

Do I need to send a UPC?They'll e-mail you and say that your rebate is invalid due to a missing UPC. You'll need to email them back and tell them that the rebate didn't require a UPC. A couple of days later, they'll declare your rebate as valid and they'll then process your rebate. That's what happened to me with my $10 Lost Season 2 rebate. BTW, the website that was used for my Lost rebate was www.rebatetrack.com , not rebateshq.com.

[FeelingGreat]

I placed my order for it at 11:00 am and have not gotten email confirmation...
Anyone have the same problem??

You can always check your order status in your account on their website. If the order shows up as processing, I'm sure you're fine.

Exactly what I do too, but last time I actually called them and with the rebate form in front of me on my computer screen I read them the UPC #s and they validated them instantly. Btw check the status and pre submit your rebates at http://fyerebates.com/promocenter/fye/index.shtml

I just happened on this thread with only an hour to spare until the West coast bumps to December 6th. I got my order in just under the wire. It will be interesting to see if it goes through.

Thanks OP for posting this deal!

[dvdlovers]

Went to check it instore and they had this dvd listed as buyone get one free along with various other dvd sets ... so grabbed a couple of them(one for me and one for my brother ) and it rang 34.99 and the rebate form printed out for $20.... long story short ... $34.99 - $20 =$14.99 for 2 sets... and if I send the rebate for the other one with the online rebate form , I will be making $6 for 2 sets ;) .... Thank you OP ....

[alfonsosoriano]

Very nice score^^!!!

[HTN]

That is weird. I also check in-store yesterday and the Oliver Stone box set rang up as ($34.99 x 2) for two sets, and the register did not automatically take off the second copy price. I tried with other box sets on the BOGO table with the OS set, but no luck. According to the cashier, it is a $15 rebate. Did something change in the system today? Also, did you encounter the same situation and had them do a price override on the second copy? But again, that doesn't explain the $20 rebate that printed out today.

[vcuram]

Its 2:40am (Tue) and I went ahead and ordered it. When I got to the page with my confirmation it says I ordered it on MONDAY 12/4! Why do I have a feeling I'm going to get screwed on the $20 rebate?! And apparently I can't cancel the order online.

I received an email from Customer Service this morning. It says that they're looking into the problem and that they hope to have it solved by tomorrow. Don't know if that's good news or not.

[Duh Vuh Duh]

couldn't seem to find the Oliver Stone Collection as one of the selections. Does anyone know the rebate number, I tried putting the UPC # from the rebate form but that doesn't work.

Also, is the packaging slip the invoice deal that will come with the set?

Any help appreciated.

My order placed at 8:56 AM EST has been shipped.

[Mosskeeto]

I called coconuts.com to cancel my FYE.com order because I rushed through my order yesterday and the default shipping charge was $4.95 (ouch!). The CSR told me the manufacturer is OOS, OOP and FYE won't be able to restock this title. I'm not quite sure to believe the CSR but at least my order is pending cancellation. I already own the titles that I wanted most out of this set so no great loss.

[alfonsosoriano]

Still no update on my order... :(

[Ginwen]

Mine shipped today...I was hasty and didn't get the 10% extra off (but did get free shipping) so mine was 37.97 with tax. Still an excellent deal, especially after I get the rebate. Thanks OP!

I ordered at about 9 am Pacific Time on the 5th.

[mnementh]

Confirmed in-store at fye today. Thanks.

$34.99, less a $15 rebate that printed out at the register. I had vowed to stay away from fye, but even without the rebate, $34.99 is a very good price for this set. The rebate just sweetens the deal, even though I'm sure I'll have to make a call or two to get the rebate processed correctly.

This rebate might not be part of presubmit rebates. Packaging slip comes with your DVD yes.

Damn! I wake up this morning to find out my order has been cancelled. Bummer.

For peeps missing out, check your stores. Most of our stores had good stock on this title.

We have 3 at the Coconuts in South Burlington Vermont at this point.

[FeelingGreat]

checked the status of my order and it says shipped. I will try this rebate thing for the first time. hope I get my money back within 1 month.

[Murmur]

Mine was cancelled as well. Not as though my life depended on it, but it would have been nice to have for under $14. Though I did call up customer service to find out what happened. I don't know why they call it customer service - every question that I asked regarding this order was forwarded off to corporate headquarters to get an answer. I then asked to speak with someone from corporate - and was told, "You can't call them, but they will answer your questions via email and get back to you shortly." LOL Guess it is just hit and miss with FYE.com.

Yep, same here. Well, I'll try in-store to see if they still have it for $34.99 with a $15 rebate. I get 10% off for backstage pass, so it's still a good deal... If they have the B1G1F people have reported, it's an even better deal.

[alfonsosoriano]

I'll try in store too.

[blaze1984]

wow, i was the very first one to place the order... at 5 am the day it was posted and those bastards cancelled my order... this is why i hate fye...

[alfonsosoriano]

Went to the store and they had about eight of them. Picked up one of the Oliver Stone sets and the Back to the Future Trilogy for free (it was one of the half dozen items not overmarked at $50) + $15 rebate.

Did the freebie process automatically? I just want to make sure I won't have to fight for it...

[alfonsosoriano]

Well when I went up the register the guy said, "Did you get that off the table?". To which I replied yes because I did, so he checked, and it was all fine. There were more around the store marked with some sticker that were included in the sale as well I guess. Just such crappy prices.

[kmac2878]

Damn - just realized my order was cancelled, too - :thmbsdwn:

[kmac2878]

Update: Stopped by my local FYE and got it for $35 - $15 (rebate) - not bad for $20!

This set will make a nice Christmas gift :up:

PS: In order to get the rebate, do I have to cut the UPC off the box, or can I use the price-tag sticker that has the UPC on it? I've read in other threads about using the sticker, but does it work every time? Thanks!

[HTN]

Yes, use the yellow price sticker instead of UPC barcode. I've been doing this for the 15 or so in-store rebates that I've done with them this year. Never once have I gotten an invalid UPC rejection. I have gotten an "invalid limit exceeded" rejection though, even though I follow their limit of 1 per UPC/household. As usual, make copy of everything including the price sticker. Better safe than sorry.

EDIT: If you peel the sticker off slowly, you can do it without breaking the shrink wrap seal.

EDIT: If you peel the sticker off slowly, you can do it without breaking the shrink wrap seal.

Thanks! :up:

[kayak99]

They cancelled my order too so I stopped at an FYE retailer today.

Picked up the Oliver Stone Collection, on the BOGO table - $34.50. Also grabbed the Lord of the Rings Trilogy - $39.99 (had to get something). With my 10% discount card, plus tax, out the door was $38.15. Less the $15 rebate = $23.15 total for the two sets.

Will probably ebay the LOTR trilogy unopened so I'm thinking the OS Collection will end up being about free.

[Ginwen]

I got mine in the mail today. Excellent deal OP, thanks again.

[Duh Vuh Duh]

Thanks OP, got mine today, now off to submit those tough rebates.

[IamLegend]

got my jason box set today...thanks!

[HTN]

Although not quite as hot as the last DOTD promo at $14.99 AR, Fye is putting it back up as DOTD 12/15 for $19.99 AR. Using the MC promo (MCOCT2006) brings the price down to $31.49 with free shipping. Final total after rebate is $16.49 + sales tax on $31.49. Once again, good luck to all.

Rebate Link (http://ak.buyservices.com/buy_assets/fye/clientassets/specials/popups/rebates/12152006DOTDSTONEfyedvd.pdf) to new $15 rebate form for 12/15.

[jeffrey r]

I got in on this deal and it shipped to me basically the same day the deal came up, and I still haven't gotten the darn thing. Damn USPS.

[junkreceiver]

This is back in stock and being advertised as today's DOTD for $34.99 with $15 mail in rebate.

[dcprules]

Does anyone know if this is still part of the BOGO deal at FYE B&M with a rebate? I was gonna be in the general direction of the store later tonight and if it is, I'd definitely stop on by.

[FeelingGreat]

I got my order today. The box looks nice. Have not played any movie yet. They also sent a music audio cd entitled "FallWerks 2006" containing various songs from various artists for free. Is it routine for them to do this???

Also, does anyone know how I can do the rebate thing now. Do I have to cut something up from the box? I hope not, since I don't want to ruin the box.

The UPC is no longer required. However, they might still declare your rebate submission as invalid due to a missing UPC(this happened to me with the Lost Season 2 rebate). I fired off an e-mail telling them that the UPC was not required. A few days later and my rebate was declared valid, processed and I received the check two months later. I now nip this problem in the bud by including a note with my submission, pointing out that the UPC is not required. All of my rebates have gone through without a hitch ever since.

[mh4268]

Is it just me or is it pretty crappy that they have this set as the DOTD today after cancelling so many orders just a week ago.

[mnementh]

I passed by an FYE and was told it wasn't part of the BOGO deal but I picked it up anyway. Of course, I wish I could prove them wrong and get a free DVD.

[junkreceiver]

I also passed by my local FYE tonight. They have plenty of this set on the shelf priced at $34.99 with a $15 rebate. But it's not part of the BOGO sale. I did not pick it up, hoping probably I can come across a better deal later. And I think this price will be available in store for a while.

[ResIpsa]

Is it just me or is it pretty crappy that they have this set as the DOTD today after cancelling so many orders just a week ago.

I'd say it is borderline fraud since it's very probable that they still had sets available when they sent out the cancellation emails, which flatly stated no more sets were available. What a shitty way to treat your customers.

When does this rebate expire?

[HTN]

When does this rebate expire?
From post #8 by jeffrey_r,

".... It also didn't indicate anywhere in the store that there was a rebate on the set, but I took a shot based upon what the poster said above, and sure enough, the rebate printed out at the register. Even the salesperson was surprised how cheap it was. The in-store rebate form shows the rebate period as 11/30/06 - 1/10/07. As to the sales price at $34.99, who knows how long that will last."

[Applejack]

I'd say it is borderline fraud since it's very probable that they still had sets available when they sent out the cancellation emails, which flatly stated no more sets were available. What a shitty way to treat your customers.

That was a bunch of crap.

The e-mail said that they couldn't get any more from their distributors, so they cancelled the order, then less than a week later, they have more in.

It's only $5 and it is still a great deal nonetheless, so I'm not going to complain too much, but it is very dishonest.

Mine was definately part of the BOGO deal. There was even a special sticker on it.

[junkreceiver]

So this could be a big YMMV. The associates in my local FYE clearly told me that it was not a BOGO item. And there was no special sticker on it whereas all the items on the BOGO shelf did have the sticker.

[Jenx56]

Anybody received this yet? Mine shipped on 12/6, but USPS tracking shows only "Electronic shipping info received" on 12/6, and nothing else. I noticed Fye.com says to allow 13 business days for Budget Shipping. Ugh.

[jackepstein]

Oh boy, im waiting for a DVD set that shipped out on 12/13 via budget shipping and still have not received anything...

[jeffrey r]

I haven't received mine either. Ordered on the 5th, supposedly shipped on the 8th, and this is what tracking shows as of today:

"Status: Enroute

Your item was processed and left our BELL, CA 90201 facility on December 8, 2006. Information, if available, is updated every evening. Please check again later."

This is somewhat infuriating, but there's nothing I can do. Fye won't look at the issue yet, as it hasn't been enough business days since it was shipped. Damn thing better get here soon.

[jackass124]

any rebate still for this if i buy online?
...still a decent deal for $34??..i don't own any of the movies so far...

Thanx

[ernestrp]

Oh boy, im waiting for a DVD set that shipped out on 12/13 via budget shipping and still have not received anything...

I had two orders that shipped 12/12 one was delivered 2 days later the other has been enroute from Bell, CA since then. This afternoon it is in Columbia, MD. only 1 state away!!! Atleast I did get some action on it today. Hopefully it will show up Thursday.

Ditto here. Rebate has to be postmarked by 1/5/07.

ThanxIt was a 'Deal of the Day' again on 12/15, but you had to buy it that day. Doesn't look like there is another rebate at this time, at least at FYE.

[junkreceiver]

You can buy it in FYE stores at $34.99 with a $15 mail-in-rebate printed out at the register. Should still be available in most FYE's B&M stores.

[jeffrey r]

Just a bump to see if anyone whose online order from the 5th hadn't arrived yet has received theirs by now, or is still waiting. My tracking info still has not changed once from its BS leaving Bell, CA on the 8th. I've e-mailed customer service with no response, so I think I'll just dispute the charge with my credit card company.

I'd give another retailer like DDD more time before disputing, but I feel fye deserves no more patience. I had originally bought this in-store without the 10% online coupon and with the $15 in-store rebate instead of the $20 online rebate. I haven't returned that one to the store yet, so looks like I'll be sticking with that one at a little bit higher price. Shouldn't have bothered with the online order in the first place.

[Jenx56]

Mine shipped on Dec. 6th and tracking shows it was in Federal Way, Wash., as of last night (I'm in Portland, OR), so it might arrive today. For the first two weeks, tracking showed only "electronic shipping info received."

[ernestrp]

I placed two orders that shipped on the 12th. One was sent by first class mail and was received two days after the shipping notice. The other was sent by media mail and arrived on the 21st. I guess if it weighs to much it goes by media mail.

I'm in Corvallis and whenever I see that it has arrived at Federal Way, I always receive it the next mail-delivery date. It should show up today :)

[berserker37]

I received mine, and I went online to pre-submit the rebate. But it only comes up as a $10 rebate under "OLIVER STONE COLLECTION". The set is actually called the "Ultimate Oliver Stone Collection", and there is a listing for "ULTIMATE OLIVER", but nothing comes up.

The rebate form I downloaded and printed definitely says $20 rebate. Looks like I'll be giving them a call...

[HTN]

Ordered mine at 8:56 AM EST and received it on 12/11/06 in Billings, MT.

Regarding the incorrect rebate amount of $10 at fyerebates.com, I'm seeing the same thing whether searching by promotion # or purchase date/location. I expected them to throw hurdles at us on this rebate, but didn't expect them to do it before we've even submitted our rebates. For those who bought on the second DOTD promotion (12/15/06) for this item, the rebate shows the correct amount at $15.

At least the Die Hard and Firefly rebates are online with the correct rebate amounts. 2 out of 3 isn't bad, for Fye anyways.

I mailed in my $20 rebate form the day I got the set. Don't waste your time calling them or with the online form, just submit the mail-in form. If they acknowledge receipt of the form they are legally obligated to pay you $20. If they try to change the rebate amount, call FYE and if you don't get any satisfaction there, dispute the credit card charge - I believe you have 90 days to do that. If anyone who bought on the 5th needs a copy of the $20 rebate form, I can send you one.

[zombeaner]

Does anyone have the link for the rebate from 12/15 on this set? I can't find it anymore!

[HTN]

From my post #109:
Rebate Link (http://ak.buyservices.com/buy_assets/fye/clientassets/specials/popups/rebates/12152006DOTDSTONEfyedvd.pdf) to new $15 rebate form for 12/15.

[HTN]

Just an FYI on the discrepancy between the rebate amount ($10 vs. original $20) for the original 12/05 sales promotion, I noticed the following when pre-submitting my rebate at rebateshq.com. If you search for the promotion # at fyerebates.com (http://www.fyerebates.com), the rebate amount shows $10. If you search for the promotion # at rebateshq.com (http://www.rebateshq.com), the rebate amount shows $20. Of course, I decided to pre-submitted my rebate at rebateshq.com. I always thought the fyerebates.com site was merely pulling its information from rebateshq.com. After seeing this discrepancy, I will use rebateshq.com from now on. Also another reason to use them is that their rebate forms are much cleaner than the fyerebates.com site without the useless navigation text on the left. Remember, you have until 01/05/2007 to postmark your submission.

[mh4268]

It showed $20 for me

[HTN]

Hhhhmmm! Info must have replicated over from rebateshq.com, I just tried it now and it does show up as $20 at fyerebates.com. Originally, I refreshed the page as well as cleared my cache and use different browser, but still came up as $10.

[jeffrey r]

So I just got the inevitable "rejection" from fye for this rebate, for failure to provide the UPC code. Of course, the rebate form did not require a UPC code, and of course I provided one anyway (the in-store price sticker), but this is how they operate every time. One call though, and they put the rebate through, so not too much hassle. But man, they are one shady company.

[Nugent]

Just got e-mail notification that mine was approved. I didn't send in any form of UPC or sticker. Just made a note on the form that the UPC was NOT required. No complaints on my end.

[Jenx56]

Also got the rejection e-mail, citing a missing UPC code, despite the fact that I included a note pointing out that a UPC wasn't required. I guess it's time to make a phone call ...

[HTN]

My submission sent out on 01/03/07 was received and approved today without a problem. I sent in a copy of confirmation e-mail, online invoice receipt, copy of UPC code, and original packing slip. Order date and DVD product description was clearly circled on all receipts. Copy of UPC code contained note stating that original UPC was not required for rebate submission.

[cverneau]

I sent in my rebate submission 8 weeks ago and the website (parago - rebateshq.com) still says they haven't received my submission yet.
Does anyone have the customer service number to contact them??

[HTN]

Rebate Center Phone number for Oliver Stone promotion ==> (800) 779-6219

If you have issues with your rebate, please do not send e-mail, just give them a call. They will most likely validate your submission because you are a "valued customer". Please remember to be kind and courteous during the call.

[hobbes4444]

Got an email indicating my rebate was processed, but it did not tell me the status. Checked on line and found it was rejected for not having a UPC. Yeesh. Sent an email, and hopefully that will do the trick. . . These rebates really do suck.

Don't e-mail them. Call them. After a 5 minute call they'll tell you that since you're a valued customer, they'll make an exception and put the rebate through.

I can't find a working phone number for them would someone mind posting one.

[lena]

I can't find a working phone number for them would someone mind posting one.Check out HTN's post a few above yours (post #151) - that number works. And I agree - a phone call is all it takes - they have been very helpful to me, also!

Took the weekend, but got a reply email indicating that I am a valued customer and that the rebate was now valid. Confirmed on the rebatehq website. . .

now if i can just get my narnia rebate from disney. . .

[FeelingGreat]

Has anyone receive their rebate check. I got an email sevearl weeks ago saying my rebate was approved but I have yet to see the rebate check in the mail.

[mh4268]

Have not got mine yet, mine still says approved. Wished the site would say if it is sent.

[evilcaptain]

Same here, approved and waiting.

[jeffrey r]

Got my rebate check today. So it's finally official--$15 for this awesome set.

[FeelingGreat]

I have yet to receive my rebate check

[alfonsosoriano]

Received my rebate from the in store deal today.

[mh4268]

Got mine today. One of my best bargains ever.

[consoleman]

Just got my check today at the same time as the Simpsons rebate check.

[HTN]

Got all three of my rebate checks for Die Hard, Oliver Stone, and Firefly. Only Die Hard rebate required a call in due to invalid purchase date. Relatively painless submission this year.

[pilot]

I got my Oliver Stone rebate today. After I had sent it in I got a message saying it was missing the UPC, but sent an email saying the form had not required it when I mailed it in and they responded back like 1-2 days later saying they were sorry and then they instantly moved it to the next stage. First time I've dealt with a FYE rebate and may do some more in the future..

[Shoveler]

I got my Oliver Stone and Boston Legal rebates on Friday, neither required any calls.

[Duh Vuh Duh]

Got my check for this and the Indy trilogy on Friday 3/2; I can't believe I didn't have to call for either of them.
