[DEAD] B1G1 Blu-Ray + Free S&H

[thejester]

Figured news like this deserved it's own thread.

802457 - b1g1 Blu-Rays + 50% off + Free S&H on 3+ DVDs
805657 - b1g1 Blu-Rays + 60% off + Free S&H on DVDs
808657 - b1g1 Blu-Rays + 40% off + Free S&H on 3+ DVDs

Didn't test any of the codes on non-BRs, but the b1g1 BR appears to be unlimited. The other % off might require purchase of 1 non-BR, and it may not (that's what I didn't test). Of course, we're talking Blu-Rays here. Not anything else. :banana:

[Sweet Baby James]

Used 805657 and got-


Planet Terror $26.21
Day the Earth Stood Still(includes movie ticket for the upcoming remake) FREE


The Thing $22.46
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow FREE


Hellboy II $29.96
Wanted FREE


Will probably order Amadeus and take How the West Was Won as the freebie before the sale expires. A big :up:, jester.

[whotony]

is this already cooked or am i doing it wrong.

* The Promotion Code 802457 is not valid.

[Sweet Baby James]

* The Promotion Code 802457 is not valid.

Why not try 805657? It worked for me and you can buy them in sets of 2 and still get free shipping.

[whotony]

ok never mind found the answer.

[pjflyer]

Thanks for the separate thread. I picked up Dark Knight and 28 Weeks Later on blu and added a bunch of $3.18 dvds to take advantage of the free shipping.

[Jfunk1]

Picked up Dog Day Afternoon and Deliverance on blu, and then The Italian Job (original version) all for about $25.

[GenPion]

Thanks! I ordered The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2: The Golden Army, Pineapple Express, and Home Alone for $61.61 total.

I might place another order to get the Grindhouse movies but I'm not sure yet.

[Jason Northrup]

None of the codes seem to be working for me. All say the promotion code is invalid.

[Moopher]

Damn. I really need to sign up for Columbia house for the next time this occurs.

[kenbenobi]

None of the codes seem to be working for me. All say the promotion code is invalid.

805657 is working for me right now on a brand new account opened this week.

[kenbenobi]

Ordered Dark Knight and Clone Wars for 26.96 shipped...
Man, I hope this code lasts til some of these pre-orders are no longer pre-orders...

[jeffrey r]

Ordered The Dark Knight and Amadeus blus for $26.96 plus tax. Great deal.

[bub]

You can get Pre-Orders to work with the 805657 code, just need to fool around a bit with the order you put things in your cart (also, might have to cycle removing an item and putting it back in and then be careful because one of the items shows as free all the way to the 'submit order' page, then shows at full price. If that happens, just back up and start again until that page is correct).

I was able to order,
Dark Night (PO) and Close Encounters $29.21
Interview w/ the Vampire and Patriot Games $22.46
Shawshank Redemption and Unfaithful (PO) $26.21
Amadeus (PO) and Little Miss Sunshine (PO) $26.96

Here in Arkansas, no tax. Of course free shipping as well. Many thanks to OP for the codes.

Luck all and Happy Holidays,
George

Still says invalid for me on my 2 year old account.

[dsa_shea]

The site is slower than hell (as usual). I would bet that the server will completely crash sometime today.

[greydt]

Still says invalid for me on my 2 year old account.

I got an invalid the first time I did it because I copy and pasted the code and didn't realize there was a blank space at the end of the number. Maybe the same problem?

[Brent L]

Darn, preorders show up as free in the cart, but not on the final checkout page. So close, yet so far. :(

[Krelyan]

Finally got the coupon (805657) to apply but it took a lot of cart juggling.

$29.96 - Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
FREE - Tropic Thunder

$26.96 - The Orphanage

$26.21 - The Day the Earth Stood Still
FREE - Bonnie and Clyde

$21.71 - Batman Begins
$21.71 - Hellboy
FREE - V for Vendetta
FREE - Cool Hand Luke

I know CH's selection can be totally erratic, but I wasn't able to find the Fearless or Gattaca BD's even though they have the equivalent DVD versions. They aren't hidden somewhere are they?

[DamingR]

Awesome code! Thanks for posting it in the HD Forum!!!!!!!!!!

29.96 - The Dark Knight
FREE - Tropic Thunder

29.96 - There Will Be Blood
FREE - Forgetting Sarah Marshall

22.46 - Into The Wild

Now I need to close the account and re-join for the next sale!

[dsa_shea]

My order of Batman TDK and Shawshank Redemption (Free) isn't actually showing an order number in my account nor did they send me a confirmation email for this one. My other 5 orders all seem to be good to go and include order numbers as well as I received confirmation emails on each of them. I am a bit afraid to order a duplicate of the order and then be stuck with two sets. Any advice?

[jeffrey r]

29.96 - The Dark Knight
FREE - Tropic Thunder

Not sure why you paid $29.96 for The Dark Knight. It shows up as $26.96 for me, and that's what I ordered it for.

[Cheato]

I know CH's selection can be totally erratic, but I wasn't able to find the Fearless or Gattaca BD's even though they have the equivalent DVD versions. They aren't hidden somewhere are they?

The list. (http://forum.dvdtalk.com/dvd-clubs/512166-list-high-definition-discs-columbia-house.html) No need to wonder about hidden items. lizard's got your back.

[kar10]

It's not working for me, I tried all the codes.

[vcuram]

Wonderful work, as always, thejester!

Grabbed Dark Knight, The Strangers, Zombie Strippers, and The Day the Earth Stood Still for $56. I may get Planet Terror and Death Proof, but I'm still wondering why PT is $5 more.

[meglet]

Used 805657, and got:

29.95 Wanted
FREE Appaloosa

29.95 Hancock
FREE Independence Day

Note, I had to add 24: Redemption to my cart before Appaloosa would show up free, then the Free price stuck after I removed 24. Also had to go through the checkout process twice, since the first time Appaloosa showed as free but was included in the total price. Keep your order confirmations for this one, folks!

[Jedi Master 33]

The Terminator $22.46
Batman Gotham Knight FREE!


Thanks for posting!

[Dorsalphin]

Thanks for the heads up. I went with:

Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Pineapple Express
Wanted and Hellboy 2

[HyperWeather]

Been waiting for another one of these!!

Got:
The Dark Knight and Hellboy 2
Pineapple Express and The Incredible Hulk
and fulfilled another account!

[GenPion]

I forgot that I ordered The Dark Knight from WHV. It's already been shipped and is on the way. Problem is... I already ordered The Dark Knight from CH for this sale! What should I do? Is the return process easy at either one? I certainly don't want to mess up my free item with CH.

[Brent L]

Oh God, I just got all preorders working as freebies.

This isn't gonna be pretty.

[Pookymeister]

Remember CH's weird way of getting codes to work sometimes.
It's not the obvious where-you-think-you-should-put-codes Promotion code field on the cart screen.
You have to click the current offer banner (whatever it may be), then click the "Looking for the offer in your mailing?" link and put the code.

That's how it got it to work for me.

That's the only way I can ever get the codes to work. The only problem was their site is so slow, when I finally checked out, I didn't realized they charged me for shipping. I should have broken it up into smaller orders, got a bit carried away.

Yup... definitey got carried away, still an OK deal though.

[Sweet Baby James]

^

They charged you $7.99 shipping for Blade Runner because they consider that a set. It wouldn't have mattered if you only bought Blade Runner and a freebie instead of your mega order.

[GreenHornet]

Didn't realize they consider that a set... If I return it would they refund the shipping...probably not worth arguing with them.

[Sweet Baby James]

Didn't realize they consider that a set... If I return it would they refund the shipping...probably not worth arguing with them.
Don't go down that road. If you return it, they certainly would expect you to return the freebie that came with it and CH can be difficult to deal with regarding returns. Besides, the Blade Runner set is absolutely awesome!

You think you got carried away? I spent $260 for 20 movies today! I must be insane.

[GreenHornet]

I bet you didnt screw it up like me and got free shipping. That comes out to $13 per movie...not bad.

[ororama]

Able to get The Dark Knight and Appaloosa Blu-rays for $26.96 with 805657. Yesterday this combination was $3.00 more.

That's how it got it to work for me.

That's what my problem was. I rarely use CH, so I didn't really think of their odd way of using these codes. Kind of counter-intuitive if you ask me.

[Cheato]

^ Mainly because they don't want you to use the codes unless you get the email which has a link you click to get the deal. That's why BobO'Link created the "How do I enter a code?" sticky. The code area in the cart seems to be for some other kind of promotion, which has yet to rear its head on these forums.

And Pookymesiter was right, except for the word "sometimes."

[Cosmic Bus]

None of the codes are coming up as valid on my 3-year old account. Tried them with two movies in the cart, four movies, just preorders, in-stock and preorders... nothing.

[tsetse27]

Pre-ordered Notebook, but seems it is considered as boxset and charged shipping cost.

[dsa_shea]

Pre-ordered Notebook, but seems it is considered as boxset and charged shipping cost.

Ditto for me on this one. No matter what I did I couldn't get the shipping cost to go away so I just placed the order. Oh well! Only paying shipping on one Blu-Ray out of 12 orders isn't that bad.

Did they charge you for shipping?

[dsa_shea]

Did they charge you for shipping?

Only for my copy of The Notebook (or the free Blu-Ray that was with it). It doesn't indicate which one you're paying shipping on, but I'm assuming it was on The Notebook since someone earlier mentioned that they were charged shipping for this title as well. All of the other orders were shipping free. :)

[GreenHornet]

How much was your shipping? They charged me $7.99 which was apparently for Blade Runner if they consider that a set, the thing is even with Blade Runner in my cart I had free shipping on that order before. I kept changing it and each time I added/removed an item my free selections changed. I ended up getting Dark Knight for free, which was a pre-order. Their site was so slow and kept freezing, which why I didn't even realize they charged me for shipping.

The Dark Knight -Free

Eastern Promises-Free

Tropic Thunder -Free

Iron Man - $29.96

The Incredible Hulk- Free

Death Proof -$21.71 (pre order)

21- $29.21

Blade Runner - $29.96

The Day The Earth Stood Still -Free

Halloween $22.46 (Pre-order)

Planet Terror $26.21 (Pre-Order)

Blazing Saddles -Free

[dsa_shea]

I only paid 2.99 shipping for one title (The Notebook). I paid no shipping on any of my other 11 orders.

[Cheato]

They charged me $7.99 which was apparently for Blade Runner if they consider that a set
"If?" 5 discs, it's a set. Some 2-disc things are "sets" to CH. Anything with 3 or more is definitely a set (except for the very recent 3-disc editions where the 3rd disc is just a digital copy, like Hulk (*) ).

the thing is even with Blade Runner in my cart I had free shipping on that order before.
Unlikely, but certainly possible, since they do have glitches sometimes. Free shipping doesn't count on sets. If it does, there will be a separate post with like 50 people in there getting all excited about it--including me. If you ever happen to notice free shipping on a set in your cart, don't walk--run to the checkout! He who hesitates is lost (or $7.99 poorer, in your case).


(*) See? Even CH thinks digital copies are worthless-they don't even bother trying to charge you extra shipping for them! :) They even charge shipping for "Game Over!"

Speed Racer BD had shipping charges because of the Digital Copy. So far that is my one regret from Columbia House. They charged me $6 for shipping that which brought my cost for Speed Racer up to $17.50... which I consider a rip-off for that movie (even more so with it lacking HD audio).

[Sweet Baby James]

^

Bummer. I wasn't charged for shipping on Speed Racer during the last Blu-ray BOGO a couple of months ago.

[GreenHornet]

Blade Runner showed up with the other 11 items with no shipping charge. When I confirmed the order, it gave me some weird error message. When I went back and resubmitted the order that's when the $7.99 shipping showed up. There was definitely no shipping charge before. Their site was really really slow. In hindsight I probably should have waited to place that order...or better yet break the order into small orders.

[Matthew Ackerly]

First and only order:

The Dark Knight and The Shawshank Redemption

Both for 29 bucks. Not bad at all.

[GenPion]

Bummer. I wasn't charged for shipping on Speed Racer during the last Blu-ray BOGO a couple of months ago.

Yeah, it was a bummer for sure. But with the other B1G1 deals I've had I feel pretty good about joining Columbia House. Even more so considering I ordered some foreign films that never go on sale, the Tom and Jerry sets, and Droopy: Complete Theatrical for my enrollment selections. But Speed Racer is in no way worth $17.50 and charging $6 shipping because of a digital copy is lame.

I wish they would add Donnie Darko and some other titles before this sale ends.

[dsa_shea]

First and only order:

The Dark Knight and The Shawshank Redemption

Both for 29 bucks. Not bad at all.

I ordered this same pair and of all of my 12 orders this is the only one that:
A) I didn't receive a confirmation email on.
B) Has ****** in place of an order number in my account order history.

I guess I better call them tomorrow and make sure this goes through. Any advice?

[Sweet Baby James]

I wish they would add Donnie Darko and some other titles before this sale ends.
Wait until tomorrow. The sale is supposed to last until 11:59 PM tomorrow night and CH usually adds Blu-rays to their site on Monday mornings.

[Brent L]

Every single one of my orders has been duplicated.

I called to ask them about it and they told me it was like that for just about everyone. When I told them I had duplicated orders they went "Are you referring to the Blu-rays?", I said yes, and they said that they're looking into why it says that on accounts, but there's only really one order and no charges for the duplicates should go through, and they will fall off shortly.

Just a heads up!

So glad I saw this. Fulfilled my account and ended up getting Dark City, Casino Royale, Edward Scissorhands, Hellboy, LA Confidential, Patton, Lonesome Dove and Tropic Thunder for $103. Not bad at all.

[macnorton]

Question on the free shipping...is it for all items or just the DVD? I wouldn't mind stocking up on more Blu's but the shipping will probably kill me.

[SMART-ASS]

Useing 805657, free shipping on Blu too :).

[Cedrock]

Does the Incredble Hulk from CH come with the 3-D packaging?

I'm not sure, the description just said 2 disc special edition. Hopefullly it is but for this price i could only be happy if it was.

[macnorton]

Coolness....tried to stack some pre-orders and it won't let me...maybe some juggling.

Also, I fulfilled my account too, nice to know I cancel it now.

[SMART-ASS]

I got Incredible Hulk BR from CH a few weeks ago. It DID have the 3D slipcover.

[macnorton]

Between my orders I saved $465.34...that is just staggering.

[Jfunk1]

Placed another small order and picked up Halloween and The Warriors on Blu-ray.

[pholly]

When I try to use the codes it says they aren't valid, help please. TIA

Guess I should have looked at the sticky first, sorry. I'm new, won't happen again...I hope :D

Did you do anything special to get Lonesome Dove? I'm not able to get it to show up either as the FREE title or getting a second title to show up as FREE. My second title isn't a pre-order (Kung Fu Panda).

I was able to get this combo to work by placing Kung Fu Panda in the cart first. You'll get hit $2.99 shipping for Lonesome Dove.

OK, that works :) I also tried to get it with a pre-order (Mamma Mia), but couldn't get it to work. I think the pre-order is too far out (12/16), so it insists on charging for that title. However Lonesome Dove must be coded as a 2-disc box set (thus the $2.99 shipping charge) so it wants to charge for that title as well :(

[vcuram]

Well, I had to go with one more order for Appaloosa and Poltergeist.

I'll wait for the next deal like this to get the discs that are coming out next year, like Little Miss Sunshine and Napoleon Dynamite. I don't like to float my pre-orders too long with CH, you never know what could happen.

[kenbenobi]

I didn't realize there were 5 titles for 14.96. I got Stargate, T2, First Blood and Total Recall. Not bad for 7.48 each!

[TABLOIDJUNKIES]

I've asked this question on the questions about CH, but no one has answered. Has anyone ever been charged for the buy 1 pre- order in advance of the shipping date. I pre-ordered movies that aren't released until Feb. but got charged for all my buy 1's at once.Over $200 at once. Sux!

I don't like to pre-order too far ahead either. Unless it comes out within the next week or two, I'm not jumping in that pool. You never know when the plug might get pulled, and we go down the drain with it.

[Sweet Baby James]

^^

They place a temporary hold when I pre-order, but the charge doesn't actually go through until they ship them out.

Well, you have to look at it like they are shipping you the free one first and then you're paying full price down the road. If the "plug is pulled" you're likely going to end up with a copy of the movie free rather than paying and not receiving half of the deal.

[Brent L]

I almost always use the "Bill Me" option. Ever since I discovered that little method I've never had a single problem with anything at CH, at least when it comes to payments.

There's a new fangled thing I've just heard about-being able to dispute a charge with your credit card company.:D

Tru dat. I also would try to avoid being blacklisted. I would image a dispute could trigger that.

Tru dat. However I really just don't like the waiting game. Waiting on something to ship to get a better price... OK. Waiting months for a movie to ship... NO THANKS.
I also never know how much is going to be on my credit card at any given time, so those "sudden charges" a couple of months from now could get hairy.
For instance right now my card is almost maxed out, and it has a very large credit line, BUT it will be payed off next month. The last thing I need is for my CC account to get screwed up because of some pre-order.
I know I could track the charges with a registry and all that, but nah.
:)

The way I see it is that sometimes I will get a free movie in hand to enjoy while planning out my pre-order purchases over the next few months to fit into my spending budget. Either way you are still going to wait on a pre-order. You might as well take the sweet deal because you are not paying anything at the present time regardless.

They must have caught that and fixed it. I tried to get friday 13th and history of violence and it wouldn't work. It works only as a qualifier.

[Brent L]

Yeah, same here.

[Sweet Baby James]

[DVD Polizei]

Yeah, right. My wallet is crawling away from my desktop, cursing this forum's name. I won't share the language, but it goes something like this:

DVD P: "What was that, Wallet?"
Wallet: "Yeah, you heard me. The one Goddamn time you venture into the ^&(& (*& )(&@#@)* ))@*(_$(!!!! (*)(* #$$#$_((*&*(&)(* forum and you're spending MORE (*&()&* @#$$^&)(& )(*$()*#)* Y%$(&%($&% on top of what you got at that Amazon $100 OFF 10 sale."

Just don't become an anime fan or you'll really be a goner! BTW, the codes are now DEAD on my accounts. I hope everybody got their orders placed in time.

[DVD Polizei]

I had an "Anime Stint" earlier this year and last year. Wasn't pretty, either. Thanks to everybody who gave a heads-up on the other forums.

[GenPion]

:lol:

I placed orders totaling 20 titles and thought that was too much. Anyway, this makes me feel slightly better.

[kenbenobi]

She's dead, Jim. I was gonna place another order or two, but in a way I'm glad it's dead. But I hope it comes back after Death Proof and Planet Terror are out. I really wanted those as freebies...

[Trevor]

She's dead, Jim.

This might be the first time I've shown restraint, ever.

I was about to order 12 or so blu-rays, but then looked at my unwatched pile (more a mountain actually), and logged out.

I'll cycle to a new account and wait for the next one.

[Trevor]

Hell, I never come in this forum. Maybe once a year? Paid off this time.

That's why I subscribe to the forum and get one email a day with all the new thread titles.

Much less likely to miss a deal like this now.

[Murmur]

I had to show some restraint as well - I have a growing unwatched pile. But I couldn't pass on Dark Knight and Iron Man. I just bought a new tv, and need to get my own blu ray player (most likely the deal for the panny on amazon) and a new receiver. :)

I was going to get just TDK, but then saw that some retailers have exclusive versions of it, so decided to get it there instead.

This will sound sadder than it is, but figuring out that you could subscribe to forums and subforums changed my life.

I used to miss threads all the time. Skip checking a forum for a day or even less sometimes, and a thread could slip off page one and never be seen again, unless you spend even more time checking beyond page one of every subforum.

But now that I subscribe to each subforum that interests me, I never miss a thread, and have less of a chance of missing those short term bargains/glitches.

It's just one (nicely formatted and linked) email per day.

[Dane Marvin]

I'm half-proud and half-disappointed in myself. Half of me thinks I should have ordered more (picked up Dark Knight and Into the Wild and scored Home Alone and Harry Potter: GOB for free) but there just weren't many freebies left that I wanted -- it was all pre-orders that don't hit until Jan/Feb that I wanted for the most part. I hope they have another one in February... I will go hog wild then.

It's just one (nicely formatted and linked) email per day.I've subscribed to a thread in the past but I now use a different technique to keep track of the various threads of interest to me: I just search my user name each day and I get an ordered list of all threads I have posted in that shows which have new posts since my last visit. That way I can keep track of occasional posts in threads away from the two forums I usually frequent (one of which is this one, of course). But your technique is more effective for spotting new threads of interest in a forum that one doesn't visit very often.

[flix1]

Only placed one order ...

Step Brothers $32.96
Shrek the Third $22.46
Hellboy II FREE
L.A. Confidential FREE

Total $55.42

I know that Step Brothers is probably overpriced, but my wife really wants to see it.

I would have gotten more, specifically TDK, Incredible Hulk and Tropic Thunder, but those were all on the Xmas list.

[dsa_shea]

A chunk of my 15 orders (paid titles) are those that come out in January and February and are titles that I would have went to a B&M and bought anyways (plus tax). So in this case I felt that it was in my and my wallets best interest to order now and pay later (mostly) and get more in return. I basically blew my Blu-Ray budget for the next few months but my shelves will certainly be full.

[GreenHornet]

I just got Back Order Notifications from them, indicating that Blade Runner, The Day the Earth Stood Still and X-Files: I Want to Believe are temporarily out of stock.

I was really looking forward to the Blade Runner too. Hope its not a long delay.

[Murmur]

Just got my backorder/out of stock email for Dark Knight and Iron Man.

[Sweet Baby James]

I wish they would add Donnie Darko and some other titles before this sale ends.
They just added Donnie Darko two days late and a dollar short. We'll have to wait for the next go 'round.

[Tweakophyte]

Anyone happen to keep their membership from the CYCD days?
;)
Anyone happen to have an unopened DVD or two from that deal.
;)

This is a good signal the BluRay prices will fall. It is also a signal (based on my restraint of only purchasing 6 titles) that BluRay releases better have signifcant quality/features reason for me to re-buy any titles. As I was looking for more deals I found myself looking at movies I already had on DVD. Some of the bluray discs, like T2 are only slightly better than the DVD from what I have read.

[Matthew Ackerly]

My order of Dark Knight and Shawshank are still back-ordered.

[SPRBD]

Just got my Dark Knight.

[blueseraphtears]

Got my first order. All 5 Harry Potters and Appleseed.

[DVD Polizei]

My order of Dark Knight and Shawshank are still back-ordered.

You might get a shipping notification for Shawshank. I just received one. :)

[Cedrock]

Does the Incredble Hulk from CH come with the 3-D packaging?

Got it today and the answer is yes, pretty sweet cover and Im happy. Might not even watch the movie now haha

Forgetting sarah marshall backordered though...boo

[SMART-ASS]

Speaking of 3-D. I got Journey To The Center Of The Earth today and it IS the 3-D version WITH 3-D slipcover a 4 pairs of 3-D glasses included.

[jeffrey r]

Never got a ship notice for Dark Knight, biut I received it today.

[Zephyr2006]

I pre-ordered Eagle Eye (Blu-Ray) with the B1G1 BD code about a week ago. It isn't released until 12/27/08. I received an email today stating that it shipped yesterday (12/16/08).

7 of 8 BDs on this order shipped using standard shipping. This order shipment email states it shipped using expedite shipping.

Is this an error? Or will I be receiving it extra early (before release date)?

It's CHs' way of trying to compensate for the USPS delivery times during the Christmas holidays. "Hours would be like days" (to semi-quote Spock).

More Columbia House weirdness: I just got a shipping e-mail for The Dark Knight [Blu-ray]. However, I received it the day after release, eight days ago! I've had late shipping e-mails before but this is the latest yet for me.

[Cedrock]

Same here for Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I got it yesterday, they're probably behind because alot of people ordered (themselves and christmas gifts)

Same here. It shows the correct ship date though so I'm not worried. It is a bit odd though.

I got several more of the titles I ordered today:

Hellboy 2: The Golden Army
Home Alone
The Mask
The Orphanage
Knocked Up

I'm glad these arrived when they did. And it seems I'll be able to watch Home Alone for Christmas. :)

I got a temp charge for twice the amount of my purchase. When I called CH, they said the "credit company double-charged, but I would be charged the right amount in the end". I'm sure it's ok but I've noticed this with Amazon as well on their B1G1. What's the deal with this kind of crap. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to only charge the correct amount.

[DVD Polizei]

Interesting.

On another Blu-ray note, I received an email from CH on a B1G1 DVD sale. You can use a Blu-ray movie for the B1G1 but cannot get the Blu title for free. In other words, you buy a Blu-ray title, then buy a DVD. You get the DVD for free, but pay for the Blu-ray title.

It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to only charge the correct amount.It is routine for merchants to test a credit card with a temp charge and then put through a "real" charge. The temp charge drops off in a few days to a week, depending on the credit card company.

I've never heard of being charged twice the order amount in a single charge though. If that's what you meant by "temp charge for twice the amount".

In other words, you buy a Blu-ray title, then buy a DVD. You get the DVD for free, but pay for the Blu-ray title.This has been Columbia House policy for standard B1G1F codes since they started selling Blu-ray Discs more than a year ago. It is similar to the policy for "special" priced items such as box sets.

However, there have been several B1G1F sale offers, specifically targeted at Blu-ray Discs, that allow the use of BDs as freebies. The most recent one was earlier this month. (This thread was started by thejester on December 5th, to highlight those offers.) More such offers can be expected in the future, for those willing to be patient.

[dsa_shea]

So far I've received 16 of the 24 titles that I have ordered. The rest are all pre-orders that will release between next week and the middle of February.

[GenPion]

Anyone still waiting on Appaloosa to ship? Mine hasn't been shipped yet. I was really looking forward to watching it soon.

And this one worked as the free one in the order so I'm upset that it hasn't shipped yet.

And yet just allowed it to perpetuate. :(

[GenPion]

Okay... so is no one else still waiting? I'm getting worried about it. Is there a way to contact them about it to see when it might ship? It doesn't say it's back-ordered on the site.

GenPion, nope, I got mine on Monday or Tuesday as well.

I did. Have not received anything yet (email or the actual shipment.)

edit: Received my order of notebook yesterday 2/24. It is the delux box set!

[Tweakophyte]

By the way, after taking advantage of this I am now stuck with having to choose the director's choice, or not. It somehow activated this, which had been dormant for years. I wrote the CS and they told me they cannot turn it off. I am going to have to say "no" on a regular basis. Anyone else?

[rednowgreen]

I also got an email today. Usually the Blu-Ray beats the shipped email in getting to me. I understand that there was a holdiay this week but CH seems to be way off the ball. Normally I will have a new release within a day or two of it being released. I am waiting on both Saw V and The Notebook.

[dsa_shea]

I finally received my copies of The Notebook, which is the deluxe edition and at a good price, and Saw V a week after they were released. I wonder if CH is going back to shipping new releases the standard way rather than the expedited way the had been doing over the last few months.

[Cedrock]

stop bumping this thread! (im sorry for it this time haha) i saw it top of list from forum index and had a burst of happiness...
