Future Shop Steelbook Group Buying Program

[howwon]

I have been receiveing a few requests for help in obtaining Future Shop exclusive Steelbooks and I thought that both Canadian and US collectors can work together to help each other out and save some money.

Here is how the program would work.

The people on my list can contact me to order any new Future Shop Steelbooks. They would pay actual cost (this can be verified by going to Future Shop's website) + Provincial sales tax (7%) and Goods and Service Tax (5%).

Shipping would be actual cost (this can be verified by going to the Canada Post's website) and the following options are available for one (1) single or double disc Steelbook:

Small Packet Air - $8.55 (approx 1-3 weeks)
Small Packet Surface - $7.20 (approx 4-6 weeks) :hairpull:

The cheapest shipping method would be in a bubble mailer for $6.40 but I do not recommend this, as it is my experience that the Steelbook will arrive damaged.
I will ship all Steelbooks, wrapped in bubble wrap and in a cardboard box, to prevent any shipping damage.

As you can see, shipping cost from Canada to the US is not cheap and it works out to about three times the USPS rates. :chainsaw:
Unlike the USPS, Canada Post is not subsidized by the Canadian Government.

Payment would be by PayPal.

The people on my list, would recipricate by helping me out with F.Y.E. and other US exclusive Steelbooks, with the same cost courtesy.

I have three more spots open on my list and preference will be given to people who post on Scott's Steelbook thread.
Mods can send me a PM if they are interested or have any questions.

I welcome all comments.

PayPal fees will be added to the order total.
People on my "A" list will be exempt from the additional fees.

[RUN-DvdMC]

Great offer howwon, I'd love to be part of your "FAV 3"!

[JWAR]

Sounds pretty cool!

[movieking]

Could be a lot of work. I couldn't believe the amount of steelbooks that FS had in store when I dropped by yesterday. Battlestar Galatica, Bee Movie, and the latest Bourne flick was the ones that I saw, and that was only in the top 20 section.

No, not really. I have my shipping process streamlined and the shipping labels are done online using Canada Post OBC.

[Jd Shapps]

I'm In.....loads of steelboks near me too!...although no sweeney todd's here. WHY???????????????????????????...you lucky yanks.

[IanUngstad]

When you go to the Canada Post outlet you can choose USPS as your shipper and it is much cheaper, FYI. I do that for all of my trades to keep costs neglible and I am in Alberta.

[rydog223]

howwon, pm sent. Long time lurker here. Great job with all of your info and pics. I only wish that I got into steelbooks sooner. And that I lived closer to Canada.

[The-MovieMania]

i would like to try and get on this steelbook program i am a serious dvd collector i have about 1,500 in my collection i have around 38 steelbooks now i believe and im try to build up my collection and the latest ive added was the future shop exclusive of indiana jones i ended up paying 68 bucks for it on ebay i know thats almost two times as much as it should have cost but im at the stores every tuesday getting my new releases i would not mind picking up a few doubles or triples to send you guys please email me i dont even know how to do this yet i just signed up today im not sure if you will get this

[jkernea]

After taxes, fees, and outrageous shipping charges...you're going to pay around $60 no matter who you get it from. It's hard to import items in cheaply.

[The-MovieMania]

thanks jkernea
but in some cases its better like i have been trying to get the 300 steelbook and you cant touch one on ebay or amazon for less then 65 i just seen a ice age and pirates 2 steelbook got for around 90 each i would never pay that but it just makes it easier to get them sooner then later i want to post my collection list with some pictures also can you tell me how to do this thanks again

Hello The-MovieMania,

PM your Future Shop Steelbook want list to me and I'll see what I can do for you. One of my contacts in the West Coast had an 300 for $35.00-$45.00 + shipping but that was a few months ago.

Cheers

[RUN-DvdMC]

Howwon,

Thanks again for dvds you sent me! Hadn't had a chance yet to watch them but I hope to soon. :-)

[howwon]

Hi RUN-DvdMC,

I'm glad to hear that everything arrived safely. If you need any other Steelbooks at cost, let me know.

Cheers.

[howwon]

Hello True_Story1011,

The only R1 Blu-ray Steelbook is I Am Legend, which is long been sold out from most of the local and online stores.

A Sweeney Todd R2 Blu-ray Steelbook is available from the UK.

[iNCREDiPiNOY]

If you guys looking for Blu-Ray steelbook, then please go to Import Blu-Ray Steelbook Group Buying Program. I have few spots open.

[JWAR]

I might be interested in this. Is there a way to view future steelbooks that are coming out?

[howwon]

Request for the 10,000 BC 2-Disc Limited Edtion Steelbook should be sent to me by PM, no later than June 23 Monday evening.

[RUN-DvdMC]

How much is the 10,000 BC steelbook and is this a futureshop exclusive (2 disc) and is it different for the FYE exclusive? Thanks!

[Kory]

Best Buy Canada has a 3-disc Steelbook, from the look of it. You might want to check into that, How...

Thanks kory.

Request for the 10,000 BC 3-Disc Limited Edition Steelbook (Best Buy Canada Exclusive) should be sent to me by PM, no later than June 23 Monday evening.
The Best Buy Exclusive appears to be the best deal, so far. If anything else is seen, I will update this post.

[howwon]

$33.59 (taxes in) + shipping.

The 10,000 BC 2-Disc Limited Edition Steelbook is a Canada wide release.
The 10,000 BC 3-Disc Limited Edition Steelbook is a Best Buy Canada Exclusive.

I have not seen the FYE exclusive, so i do not know what the difference is.

[Morphine1680]

No steelbook bluray release in canada?

[howwon]

No steelbook bluray release in canada?

I haven't seen any news of any new Blu-ray Steelbook release for Canada. I will post here if any news develops.

[howwon]

Release of the 10,000 BC 3-Disc Steelbook (Best Buy Canada Exclusive) has be delayed. No ETA given.

[howwon]

I went to plan "B" and found them at another store.

Steelbooks will be shipped out tomorrow.

[hitman tommy]

I just found the both Autobot and Decepticon Transformer Steelbooks at Futureshop in Manitoba, Canada. They just got them in if anyone is looking for them maybe check out your local Canadian Futureshop

[JWAR]

I'm looking for them but do not live in Canada

[sirdizzy]

Looking at that Ong Bak of yours and considering it, I have yet to get a Canadian steelbook and that seems to be one of the less inexpensive ones.

Also the 10,000 BC might be worth it to get the 3 disk version instead of the crummy US 1 disk.

[howwon]

MOD - Please lock this thread. Thank you.

[butterbean]

are any of these available in blu ray? sorry kind of new to this

[Morphine1680]

[snausages]

hey howwon just wondering if you knew on the 10,000 b.c. 3disc if the 3rd disc was in the steelbook or by itself

The 3rd disc was inside the steelbook.
