(DEAD) DeepDiscount Official Notice: 25% Off from 7/17 Through 8/2, 2009

[xDLafx]

If I order something that is "temporarily out of stock" will I be charged full price when it ships?

No, you will be charged the discounted price.

[swagmagnet]

Nope. Sale price. Go for it!

you get the discount whether it is in stock or not. The only time this won't apply is when it is not in stock because it is a pre-order.

No, you will be charged the discounted price.


Thanks for the quick replies everyone! I'm definitely buying the State. A lot cheaper than Best Buy.

[Sweet Baby James]

The only DVD set I wanted went up $17 once the sale started.

Damn :(



Bleach Box 3?

[joecansee]

I ordered last night, received confirmation email but never received anything from bing, is this normal?

[moviewizguy]

Oh wow... you're not joking o_O

I can't imagine that's not an error they'll have corrected by the end of the day...

Well...it's too late now. The Wii is "no longer available."

[Phibes]

I ordered last night, received confirmation email but never received anything from bing, is this normal?

I asked the same thing earlier. I did look at Bing's FAQ closer and it said that it might take a day or two for these transactions to show up on the cashback account. If not, email Bing's customer service with the pertinent info and they'll look into adding your order to the account.

It also said that DDD is supposed to send something to Bing to make it happen. I'd imagine with the big sale going on that there might be delays in doing so.

I just wish SOMETHING showed up (such as in the processing que) since I'm always paranoid that something didn't take.

Guess I'll wait till Monday and see if something shows up ;).

[Duh Vuh Duh]

I ordered last night, received confirmation email but never received anything from bing, is this normal?

Same thing for me. Any help appreicated.

And shitstick, ordered on the night before the sale is officially "live" and stuff already backordered. Oh well.

[aspects]

Well I ordered yesterday, received an e-mail confirmation yesterday and today when looking at my order history, my order has been canceled. I just sent them a comment asking them what happened.

[JoeStSteven]

man I wish something would show up for me with Bing too. I paid over $1000 for 80something DVDs!

[gerrytwo]

Ordered just before midnight to get Douglas Fairbanks boxset A Modern Musketeer and TCM Forbidden Hollywood William Wellman boxset. No problem with 25% discount, but no BING confirmation so far.

[cgray]

man I wish something would show up for me with Bing too. I paid over $1000 for 80something DVDs!

Bing used to be live.com, and has been discussed in every DD related thread for almost a year. Likewise, use cashbaq.com when buying at DVDPlanet.

[JoeStSteven]

thanks for the tip. The money cleared out of my account instantly and every single item but one was in stock (which I find surprising, since when they were on my want list probably 5 or 6 were out of stock). The only thing I can guess is that Bing/Deep Discount are waiting to make sure no one is going to call screaming credit card fraud or something. But no.. I've been saving / calculating for months! Now give me my $40 Bing so I can go spend it at Barnes and Nobles (and then give me my percentage from there too)

[DirkUSA]

I just received my cashback mail from bing. Nice, that the 4% are off the purchase price before the 25% off sale price.

Dirk

[ehilbert]

I know its blasphemy to say anything bad about DDD around here,but why are they raising prices so much? It's ridiculous and I won't be buying anything from them. Ok I guess I will ge bashed now for making this observation.

[RequiemX]

Last time I got some good deals, but this time all I really see that's less expensive now (with the prise increase then 25% off) is Eureka season 2.

Don't know if I'll order this year.

Awesome. I wonder why this is as it doesn't make much sense as far as Bing's perspective is concerned.

I don't know why you say its blasphemy. There is probably more bad stuff stated about DDD here then any other vendor. People seem to either like or hate them with not much in between. Especially, when it comes to this particular sale.

As has been stated many many times, prices fluxuate. Personally, I'm very happy with the deals I'm getting through this sale.

[JoeStSteven]

messaged them and two minutes later had my bing cashback ! It was based off of the sale price, not the original price, by the way

[DJariya]

i have a question that i know one of you will be able to help with please. i am looking at getting the dirty harry collection dvd ($35.89) but it says fullscreen. i can't find a collection that indicates ws other than the bluray. when i check the individual discs they indicate they are ws. what's the scoop here? is there really a fs collection and dd just doesn't have widescreen? anyone order this previously and know the answer? many thanks and happy bargain hunting!

p.s. nice name bigE :)

You mean this one?

http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=40532250

I think it's a typo by DD. I own this collection and I don't recall ever seeing a FS version of it even in stores. Even all the individual films are WS. I believe only the documentary is FS. I think your fine ordering it.

[DirkUSA]

That didn't take long. See thats why I lurk and not post much. I've been a member here since 06. I don't do spam. Thanks again!!!


ADMIN NOTE:
Any negative comments (i.e. threadcraps) will be removed from this thread, as well as any debate about prices going up and down and left and right before/after/during the sale. Post ALL THAT IN THE STORE FORUM. IF YOU DON'T LIKE DD OR THE SALE, VOICE YOUR OPINION IN THE STORE FORUM. NOT HERE!

Sorry, I should have called it threadcrap. Looks like you didn't read the first post.

[greylocke5]

Well I ordered yesterday, received an e-mail confirmation yesterday and today when looking at my order history, my order has been canceled. I just sent them a comment asking them what happened.

I had a very different experience early this morning. I decided to open up a Bing cashback account and link through to DD. I took a long time to settle on my order - I ended up with 26 DVDs for $220. (And that's not counting any Bing cashback, assuming it shows up.)

I got to the checkout procedure, and then - when I clicked to send the order - I got an error message in RED that said there was a problem with sending the order. I didn't get the usual confirmation screen with the order number and list of items. I figured the order had not gone through. WRONG!

Silly me - I reassembled the order and submitted it as usual - I have been a DD customer for years so I know how things should go.

A couple of hours later I got TWO confirmation e-mails. The orders are identical in price and content. They just have different order numbers. So I figured it should be easy to cancel one of them, right? Oh nooo.

I called DD's 800 number and the customer assistance person - and her supervisor - advised me that the big surge in orders has meant that everything has been processed ASAP and so it's too late to cancel my order - even though it was an obvious mistake - their mistake, IMO - and only about three hours had gone by. She said they will send me a mailing label and I should mail the duplicate items back for a refund. They had 23 out of 26 in stock. So I will have to return a really big package. Oh, and they might pack the two copies of each DVD together in one box to save on postage!

So it's a mess. Just too much trouble to track down one of my orders in the warehouse or flag them in some fashion, etc. I guess the people who work in the warehouse are automatons.

This really pisses me off. It's hard enough to find the customer service phone line on their website. Then I get no customer service.

And heaven only knows whether Bing will become a part of this saga.

Why couldn't they just cancel one of my orders like they did aspects order?

Bizarre. Transformers Animated Season 2 is discontinued.

[budster7]

I bought the 24 Season 7 DVD for $20.17 (original price $26.89). Also, got bing cashback of $1.08 (4% of $26.89) for a net cost of $19.09. I know this set will probably drop to $14.99 in the future, but I think that will be quite a bit away and this is the best current deal for this set.

Just curious, does anyone know what the price of the 24 Season 7 DVD was before the sale?

[statcat]

is it normal that it says under my account the full prices of the dvds I bought (without the 25 percent off)? It does say the correct discount under coupon/code but still says what the total price would've been if there was no code.

[Norm de Plume]

I entered DVDTALK at the cart stage and ended up getting only 20% off (I did the calculations). Anyone else have this experience? Is it maybe 25% for Americans and 20% for international orders?

[JamesDFarrow]

I ordered from Mississauga and used DVDTALK and it took 25% off so something is screwy with your order.

P.S. Don't give them any ideas! LOL!

That was tempting me too, but I can wait. I just saw the season and it will be cheaper someday. Plus I'm still debating if I want it on BD or if DVD is good enough.

DD really needs a "Remember Me" box to check when you log in. I'm tired of logging in every time I want to look up something and add it to my wishlist.

[asianxcore]

Bleach Box 3?

Hustle: The Complete Series 1-4

It was $62.XX before the sale started.

Oh well. I'll probably search around on the site to see if there are any deals to be had on Synapse discs.

[leahcim]

Anyone know when the last DD 25% sale was, prior to the current?

[DJariya]

Anyone know when the last DD 25% sale was, prior to the current?

2X a year. Last one was around November.

[Snowmaker]

Anyone know when the last DD 25% sale was, prior to the current?

Last November I think.

[aspects]

Well I ordered yesterday, received an e-mail confirmation yesterday and today when looking at my order history, my order has been canceled. I just sent them a comment asking them what happened.

Well I received a reply back from them saying it was a problem with my credit card. Since the last sale I must have gotten a new credit card that expires in 11/2011 and did not notice because it replaced a card that would not have expired until 11/2009.

But it would have been nice of DD to send me an e-mail instead of me having to contact them.

[Mikael79]

I placed my order yesterday, and already received my shipment notice today.

[leahcim]

Cool, I think I will wait until this fall/winter to buy most items. I find the way I do it, to be alot more gratifying towards Christmas.

Did DD have this type of sale last summer also?

Not sure when the next sale will be. The last few years there was a sale in June and in November but who knows if there will be second sale this year.

I'm curious to know how folks are managing to fund purchases in this sale? Given that we are still in a recession, and many of us are out of work, how do we find the cash for DVDs?

I still have a fulltime 40 hour a week job with very little debt except a car payment. I just got my yearly review and got a raise, so I'm good for making a fun frivilous purchase as long as I don't overspend.

[gunm]

All my in-stock items shipped today. I'm hoping doing smaller orders will speed things up a bit all around...

Thank you for your recent order. Unfortunately the item listed below is discontinued, and cannot be shipped. You have not been charged for this item.

This is the 2nd email I got from them. I ordered a different dvd last night and got the exact same email.

I wish DD would keep better track of their stock. Both items were In Stock when I ordered!

I don't know but are people spending huge amounts of money? I'm only spending like a $100 which is really not much.

[Paul_SD]

I'm curious to know how folks are managing to fund purchases in this sale? Given that we are still in a recession, and many of us are out of work, how do we find the cash for DVDs?

I just put up a few things on ebay that I knew were worth more than DVD Planet would give me in trade.
In years past, I would sell off several hundred $ worth of DVDs, as well as trading some in for credit, in preparation for these sales.

This year it will be a combination of store credit, ebay proceeds, and buying much less than I usually do. Last year I spent well over $700 (and then more on the Criterion sale a month later). This sale I'll be spending less than half that.

[seymouru]

I don't know but are people spending huge amounts of money? I'm only spending like a $100 which is really not much.I really don't think discussions of people's personal financial situation are appropriate on a board dedicated to DVDs. People are responsible for making their own buying decisions, which they post here without expecting to answer the question "How can you afford that?"

Just my $.02.

I retrack the question. I didn't think it that far out of place since nearly every other post on this thread (after the sale starts) is comprised of lists of items purchased and dollar amounts spent. I was under the impression that people were eager to share their spending habits. My apologies if I offended anyone.

[seymouru]

I didn't ask the question to begin with though.Not blaming you personally, sorry if I implied that by quoting you. This topic has come up during previous sales, and I just think it's way out of bounds. (Can you tell?) :)

[jkzahn]

I am receiving my BING confirmations within about 1 hour of ordering, and the 4% discount is off of the pre-25% price.

Also, in case anyone was thinking of it, I did TRY to stack the Sony "Staycation" discount with the codes, and it doesn't let you. So, the 25% is better.

[Will M]

I'm curious to know how folks are managing to fund purchases in this sale? Given that we are still in a recession, and many of us are out of work, how do we find the cash for DVDs?

people that have a recession proof job (things like government, healthcare, education) actually do fine during economic downturns. in fact they do well since so much stuff goes on sale.

for the people in economically sensitive jobs (things like retail, restaurants,autos,construction) they get crushed in a recesssion.
these are the people who are being laid off or having their hours cut back.

also certain areas of the country (for various reasons) are getting hit harder than others economically. i live near Cincinnati Ohio and it hasn't seemed to affect the local economy here nearly as much as places like California & Michigan.

[The Escapist]

I'll probably buy a few items during this sale, but the Barnes & Noble 50% off Criterions sale is impoverishing me, since the prices are far better than DDD, even with the 25% off. I've already bought 7 films, and have 13 more on order...and this is at my local store.

[Web]

I'm curious to know how folks are managing to fund purchases in this sale? Given that we are still in a recession, and many of us are out of work, how do we find the cash for DVDs?Who's paying cash? It's called credit. And it's called addiction. Since when did being out of work and homeless stop a drug addict from scoring? So being homeless, I buy the DVDs and just tell DD to hold them for me. (jk) -wink-

[Mr. Plow]

My order I placed yesterday shipped already. I never even received a order confirmation email.

[brizz]

my order for Mad Men S2 last night around midnight shipped already :up:

[teddydogg]

Remember when these thread used to have just what people purchased? That was neat. I always liked looking thru peoples orders to see what would be cool to buy or at least look at some new/different movies. The only thing people care about anymore is Bing and how much cashback they receive. I know there is another thread but man...

[TheDoug]

Today is July 17th, so where the heck is the official notice by DDD that they're 25% sale is in progress????? Usually I see a notice via my email from DDD or within the context of DVDtalks ad banners etc. So everyone's using the aforementioned codes before they officially list the sale???

Both of my e-mail accounts have received the notification that the sale is on. They did hit the spam folders though so check those out as well.

Not sure what to tell you. I most definitely got my Bing cashback from the regular price, NOT the sale price.

And I would like to know how some of you are getting such great prices with the B&N sale. After tax, the prices seem to be roughly the same to me, usually more expensive at B&N. I bought six BDs at DD and it was cheaper by a couple dollars, even if I had used a 10% non-member coupon....

[rexinnih]

Just put in an order and the Bing cashback email showed it off the regular price. Even better deal!

[espin]

Everything that I ordered was temporarily out of stock. Am I out of luck, or will it eventually ship?

You are not shit out of luck. The items will eventually ship whether it's 2 weeks from now or 2 months from now.

[GMLSKIS]

I've been waiting for this day for months and right away I'm bummed. On my list of movies I was going to order I would check the price every week and see the prices usually change sometimes up sometimes down. Quantum of Solice in BluRay would always be between 21.37 and 25.85 with the low price just a day or so ago. Now that the sale starts they jack the prediscount price up to 26.85 (those dogs). Now after discount it is no cheaper than I've seen Amazon sale it for in the last few weeks. This shady practice reminds me of when Circuit City went out of business and the liquidaters would jack up the prices before they discounted them and the resulting charge would be more than when Circuit City ran the joint. I'll check the others on my list now but it looks like my order from Deepdiscount won't be as much as I thought. Amazon might get some of my money.

Amazon is actually selling it for 17.49, so if my math is correct, it's actually a couple dollars cheaper there. Just an FYI.

[mcjw_serenity]

EDIT: Moved to the lists thread.

[Norm de Plume]

I'm still getting shortchanged on the percentage of the discount for some reason. When I apply a code to an order with a subtotal of $161.53, the total comes to $133.74, which isn't even 20% off, let alone 25%.

Item total is $144.58
S&H is $16.95
Their sale discount comes to $27.79, which works out to 17% of the total with shipping and 19% of the total without shipping. Anyone know what the hell's going on?
Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I want to get the same discount as everyone else.

I know it might be pretty obvious, but do you have any preorders included? If so you are going to have to place an additional order when they're released since the codes don't apply to preorders. Other than that, I don't know why you are not getting 25% off.

[Superdaddy]

Talk about fast service: placed my order yesterday morning around 9:00, had shipping confirmation e-mail for the first part by evening, less than twelve hours later.

Thanks, DD!

I checked my 2 orders and the discount is definitely 25% and also my bing cashback is coming from the regular price, not the sale price.

Make sure you don't have any pre-orders in there, and that everything in your order is classified as a DVD.

About three or so years ago, I ran into a similar situation where I wasn't getting the full discount. It turned out that one of the DVDs I had in my order was (mistakenly) labeled a CD by Deepdiscount.

[Dr Mabuse]

Scored 'Only Angels Have Wings' for seven bucks and change.

Almost pulled the trigger at the $25 price like a year or so ago when it came out.

Awesome score.

Having that classic at that price makes the sale for me this time around, though I'm buying quite a few more things before it's over..

Shady would be showing one price and charging you another at checkout....all they are doing is what every other online retailer does: changing prices to reflect the market...you don't have to buy it from them. Nobody, especially DD, is trying to trick you. Sometimes they are cheapest, sometimes not.

I simply don't understand the sense of entitlement people have with regards to this sale. and I sure as hell wish people would stop bitching about it!

[John Slider]

You know no more about inner workings of DD than we do, Brizz.

[leahcim]

Sale runs until 8/2. Let's say I purchase some items on that day but the items are "out of stock". Will I still get the 25% off those items?

[JB7]

Sale runs until 8/2. Let's say I purchase some items on that day but the items are "out of stock". Will I still get the 25% off those items?

Yes.

However, if they ever ship thats another story. I had 5 titles that were "out of stock" for 2 months. They were listed as "instock" on the website 1 week after the sale ended. I finally just canceled the order, since I was tired of waiting and CS was no help.

[DJariya]

Sale runs until 8/2. Let's say I purchase some items on that day but the items are "out of stock". Will I still get the 25% off those items?

Yes you can. The code should work and you will get the discount. Don't worry, it will eventually ship.

[viking99]

I don't mind a bit if some of the titles are out of stock. I ordered the ones that I really wanted to watch soon on Thursday when the sale first started. Others, while I want to own them at a good price, I don't mind waiting weeks or months for them to arrive. I'm not paying for them yet and if somehow they show up cheaper elsewhere, I can always cancel the DDD order. Win - win!!

On another topic, does anyone remember when the pre-orders change to allow the 25% off discount? I would like to order both Watchmen and Pushing Daisies when they're released next week, hopefully catching them in-stock. Would midnight Monday be the time? Eastern or Central time zone? Anybody know? Thanks.

[TOLEN]

I wanted to order Penn & Teller BS the uncensored version. Deep Discount only sells the uncensored version. Is the only difference the packaging??

[Norm de Plume]

I know it might be pretty obvious, but do you have any preorders included? If so you are going to have to place an additional order when they're released since the codes don't apply to preorders. Other than that, I don't know why you are not getting 25% off.
Make sure you don't have any pre-orders in there, and that everything in your order is classified as a DVD.

About three or so years ago, I ran into a similar situation where I wasn't getting the full discount. It turned out that one of the DVDs I had in my order was (mistakenly) labeled a CD by Deepdiscount.
Thanks, guys. No pre-orders, but I think the answer may be that I have 3 CDs in there, which I didn't realize aren't covered (though I would have known, had I read these threads more closely).
One thing I don't like about the current DD cart format is that the discount is not displayed on each individual item. In the old days, the before-discount and after-discount prices were there to see on each item.

[rexinnih]

Purchased yesterday (Last Emperor and Man Who Fell to Earth BD Criterions). Shipping notification today. Free shipping, no sales tax and not having to deal with 5-9 business days to ship= bye-bye Amazon!

[PJ]

I've got a question regarding the upcoming Battlestar Galactica on Bluray. Right now it's around 220.00 at deepdiscount. And it is going to be released during the time frame for which this sale is occurring. I've not had a lot of experience buying such a large ticket item from them.

Do you think

a) It will be cheaper now at the 220.00?
b) Will it be cheaper after it becomes available in the next couple of week using the 25% off?

Obviously the price is going to go up a bit upon release day, but will it go up enough (or do we know) if it will go up to a point where it will be even with today's price? Does anyone have any experience with them regarding this?

Thoughts?

[JoeStSteven]

this is kind of weird and I thought I would let you guys know:

my first order was for $1000. Bing gave me 4% back off of the sale price

subsequently I have ordered 3 ordered with 1 or 2 DVDs at a time and Bing gave me the 4% back on the original price

I almost want to complain and see if I can get more of a return out of them on my massive order but I don't want to give them a reason to tell me I used a coupon so I don't get anything. advice ?

[John Slider]

Leave well-enough alone.

[g]

Bing.com is known to take cashback away from people including me. I'm no longer using them and am taking all my business to casbaq and fatwallet.

[sandman007]

Leave well-enough alone.



^^^Seconded

[Cheato]

And thirded. You got lucky that (1) they're giving you cashback even though you used a coupon, which violates the qualifying terms at Bing, and (2) they're giving you cashback on the original price on 3 of your orders, which is more than you deserve. So you're thinking you want to call and complain that they didn't screw up on your one order and on the hundreds or thousands of other people's orders. Then they realize their mistake, and everybody's cashback gets canceled. Get some perspective.

[g]

They went in retroactively to my may orders and reversed my cashback for orders that I used the buy 1 get 1 fox dvd's with. If bing is trying to get goodwill for their search service I hope that it bites them for their jerky cashback policies.

Right now you can pre-order (with a coupon) from DVD Planet where the 'regular price' now is $248- discounted price comes to $186.
You can wait and maybe get it lower from DD if they don't raise the price, or don't raise it up to $248. I think on street day, $250 will be the most it will be at the usual e-tailers, and there's a good shot it will be less.
I only pre-ordered from Planet because I had store credit, and since their prices are on average higher, I didn't want to risk them raising it when it streets.

If $186 isn't low enough for you, I'd probably wait

[PJ]

186 is definitely cheaper than I was anticipating. Thanks for the feedback and I'm off to order!

[Cheato]

OK, so I totally screwed this up. I didn't see (don't know how I missed it, sorry!) that the OP was looking for the Blu-ray version. I'll leave my text below, which I originally posted, but my info is about the DVD version of the BSG set. Sorry again for the confusion!


There's a sale at Columbia House right now, so you can get it for slightly less than $150 from them (and get 6 other DVDs for enrolling, if you don't have an account). This sale price might end on July 22 (I can't find details on that, so beware)--at which point it will go back to its regular price of about $180. So, if you pass on this DD sale at $186, and suddenly decide you have to have it, as long as CH still carries it, you can get it from them. Or you can get it from them now at a much cheaper price and get 6 other DVDs for free.

[PJ]

If only the site would allow the coupon....

Just keeps refreshing...:(

[howwon]

I received my second shipping confirmation, this afternoon.

[seymouru]

I wanted to order Penn & Teller BS the uncensored version. Deep Discount only sells the uncensored version. Is the only difference the packaging??Yes, both packages contain exactly the same DVDs. They created the censored packaging so B&Ms can display them on their shelves without upsetting shoppers who might be offended by seeing the "actual" title of the show (think Wal-Mart). But the content inside is identical to the uncensored packaging.

Has anyone ordered and received any futurama sets from deepdicount lately? I heard they switched to slim cases recently and I'd really prefer to receive the new cases (as opposed to the older fold out cases like the simpsons). If you've ordered it, which did you receive?

At $15 a piece I'd love to grab all 4 sets here.

Futurama never came in the fold out cases like the Simpsons, as far as I know. But I don't know if they have the newer sets yet at DD.

There is a problem with what was submitted:

1. We're sorry - unfortunately this item is not available for shipment. Please check back later!

And if I try from my wishlist i just get a blank page.

My dad said he might order that movie, I wonder if he tried yet.

[Manzana]

First, does anyone think The Godfather (Coppola Restoration) Blu-Ray collection ($37.42 after discount) is substantially better than the SD version of the same thing I got at Target for $18.99 in June (and haven't opened so I could return for a full refund)?

From reading the reviews (no direct comparisons between BR and SD) it sounds like the content is exactly the same (except newer extras are presented in HD) so while we all know that BR picture quality is better than SD, is it THAT much better than SD to justify $18 more?

Second, regarding Battlestar Galactica Complete BR which is mentioned often, I really would like to get and watch the whole series as I liked S1 which I got cheap. However, I heard there is still a movie that should be in the set, and even $220 - 25% feels a bit expensive. So my philosophy is I've now marked $165 ($220 - 25%) as my target price. If DD sells it for that on Tuesday, I might buy. If they don't, then I'll wait. Too many Big Lots TV seasons deals make me not eager to buy anything really expensive any more.

The Battlestar Galactica movie that your talking about The Plan will not be included in this set as it's not airing on TV until November, but is getting a DVD release in October prior to the airing.

Just use your own judgment whether or not your can afford the series and if you really want it.

[Paul_SD]

I've never seen any B&M retailer sell something at even close to 50% off on it's street date- especially not a high msrp specialty item like the BSG set. $175 would be 50% off so $165 is really out of the realm of reality.

As far as the Godfather set- The Bd is better. Whether it will be better enough for anyone will likely come down to 2 factors-
1) The size of your display AND how close you sit to it
2) How critical you view/listen to your media

If you sit closer than 1 screen width away from your display, you will likely see a greater benefit- than if you sit farther than 2 screenwidths away, for example. Screen size matters, but the critical criteria is viewing distance.
You can have a 52" screen, but if you sit 8' away the difference between good sd and ok hd will be mitigated.
Where exactly the sweetspot is for you will be determined by how critical you watch these things.

Also, these are still relatively grainy, non flashy films, especially the first two. I think for most people, the sd sets of these films will suffice.

jmo.

Not bitching - Just stating the facts that the main BluRay I've been waiting to buy in this sale goes up to the highest price they have sold it in many months the day of the sale. It does not reflect the market as your so called pro opinion because Amazon has been dropping the price on that movie on a weekly basis. I have every right to state my opinion here and need no rebuttal from you. I won't waste my time reading your posts and commenting on your oipinions other than to defend myself here.

yeah that's what i noticed about the Criterion BDs also as they seem to be cheaper even though Amazon is having almost all of the CC BRs for $19.99 each.

however i'm unsure about pulling the trigger in view of the CC sale @ DDD that might happen like last year...

They could have a restock shipment on it's way now or it might take weeks to months, it varies. But if you place your order you assure that you will get it for that price when it eventually ships.

[PerryD]

Since I'm in Illinois, I have to factor tax into account when comparing the DD sale with Amazon's regular prices, but you would think that with a 25% off sale, you wouldn't have to do the math, but for many movies, including the Criterion titles, the final price works out about the same.

It should be obvious to everyone, but compare the prices before ordering. I had several titles in my Wish List and compared them with Amazon before placing my order. Some titles have huge discrepencies in prices, e.g. Wedding Singer Blu-ray is $12.99 at Amazon, but $22.23 at Deep Discount.

[Jaymole]

It's a shame that DD doesn't carry Troma DVDs anymore. I was looking forward to ordering The Last Horror Film and Combat Shock during the sale.

I just moved to Chicago a couple months ago, and didn't realize that I would pay tax for DD -- so I ended up only ordering 4 movies because the savings weren't so great once you factor in tax. On the upside, however, they shipped on Friday and I got them today (Mon), whereas it always took 2-3 weeks to get them when I lived on the East Coast.

If so, they're not eligible for DVD Planet's sale, which only applies to pre-orders that are released during the sale period (i.e., between July 17 and Aug. 2).

Three questions before I make an order, and I appreciate your help:

1. How long does the sale last? I'm hoping to pick up Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series but it's in pre-order status until it comes out July 28.

2. How do I get additional discounts / cash back besides the 25% off codes? I don't know anything about bing, etc.

3. Does DVDTalk get a kickback when I use the DVDTalk code?

1. August 2. See the title of this thread, and/or the subject line of your own post.
2. BING.com explains how to use BING.com better than any of us could. It's free, and easy to do. So are the other varieties, such as CASHBAQ.com and FATWALLET.com.
3. I seem to recall from earlier years that DVDTALK does not get a monetary reward, but does benefit in some other way. Perhaps someone from DVDTALK could answer this better.

Quick Question: My memory is failing me here. I can get Grey's Anatomy Season 1 for $16.03 through this sale. Can I expect to do better for it somewhere else at another time. I keep thinking this goes to $10 occassionally, but I could be wrong. I'm not really into the used copies on ebay and such.

So to make my question quick: $16.03 for Grey's season 1: Good deal or not?

Thanks.

So are you asking if that's the best price right now? I was say yes. I've seen season 1 on sale at Best Buy for $14.99 in the past. It's entirely up to you if you want it or not. I would say go for it.

I've never seen it any cheaper than $14.99. Hell, the MSRP is $29.99.

Battlestar Galatica Complete Series Blu-Ray is still $219.89 and today is release day, so I believe people should be able to order it for $164.92.

I thought the release was next Tuesday.

[stingermck]

I thought the release was next Tuesday.

That is correct. Watchmen Blu for me today, thinking about some others.

[Manzana]

I thought the release was next Tuesday.

OOOPS! You're right. My notes of the BSG release date were wrong and I missed the fine print on DDD's page. Let me DELETE my post so as not to confuse people. Sorry.

That would explain why there weren't a bunch of posts of other people ordering it. I thought maybe everyone else was sleeping. However, after reading on The Digital Bits about the missing content (The Plan, the 10 webisodes, and various extras from the previous sets) I think I'll pass even at $164.92 if the current price holds next week. I'll wait for the BSG Ultimate set (or maybe they'll call it "Truly Complete This Time... Really") hopefully in a year or so.

[Paul_SD]

Battlestar Galatica Complete Series Blu-Ray is still $219.89 and today is release day, so I believe people should be able to order it for $164.92. That said, I just read the only review I could find about it on The Digital Bits. It's $165 for a 20 Blu-Ray ($8.25 per disc) set which is missing the Face the Enemy webisodes, several extras from the previous set and a Best Buy bonus disc, and The Plan. Plus I dislike the packaging which won't fit on my shelf. Instead of ordering it this morning (before the price jumps up) I think I've decided I'm going to wait until it's a lot cheaper (maybe $125... sure that could take a year or two) or until I can get a truly complete set for about the same price. I've got so many other TV series to watch (partly Big Lots fault) and considering the economy, spending $165 on a not-quite-complete set doesn't feel right now. Besides, by the time I got this set for $125 or the not-yet-released-set, I can start over from S1 because I will have forgotten enough (having only watched S1 in January).

Hopefully the next Battlestar Galactica Complete set will in fact be complete. Will they call it the Really Complete or the Ultimate Complete set?

I'll be very impressed if DD will be selling this set for greater than 50% off on release day ($175 is already 50% off).
I'm quite satisfied to get it for $186 from DVD Planet (but then, I had store credit to make use of- if I was paying out of pocket for it, I'd probably wait to see what DD does next Tuesday)

For me, all the extra content is just frosting I'll scrape off and not eat anyway. There is more stuff on this set than I'll ever make use of as it is.

[Snowmaker]

Maybe it's already in one of the first 27 pages... but why is Lost S1 and S2 on BD not available??? Is it because $49 is already the bottom line price? That's f'ing weasley if you ask me.

Got my first two orders this morning. Nice turnaround, DD.

[Paul_SD]

just a heads up- The Blu-ray release of Midnight Express actually dropped in price at DD when it streeted today.

[JoeStSteven]

[SethDLH]

My first order arrived today (ordered thursday afternoon, shipped friday) Decent shipping time to MD. I'm expecting my 2nd order tomorrow or Wednesday

[Rizor]

Got my first order today as well. I was relatively surprised since the last order I had with them last month took about a week to ship and two more weeks to get here.

My other order is OOS so I suspect it'll be a while.

Still debating the Bourne Trilogy. $55 or so is the cheapest I've seen it, but I need to play it a bit tighter than I have been.

[Snowmaker]

For those that ordered and have received titles with slipcovers, how is the condition of the slipcovers?

[gunm]

Got two of three in-stock orders yesterday (and picked up today). Ordering more but smaller orders seems to be paying off. So glad they have multiple coupon codes!

Might place one more small order by the weekend, but I'll really be waiting for next week's releases like most everyone else.

I'm a little concerned because I'm almost 100% positive that BSG complete will go OOS within a short period of time after it goes "live" for the sale. And while you can still order OOS items, I just want to be assured that DD doesn't "discontinue" this particular item before fulfilling my order. I'd order it from Dvdplanet, but the price is higher and I don't have any credit there.

I was was planning on getting the Crouching Tiger/Flying Daggers etc. Blu-Ray during this sale, but holy crap is the price high at Deep Discount! $61.60 when it's $39.99 at Amazon.

[achau9598]

Darn .. Lost S1 and 2 on Blu are not available ... :(

[NoirFan]

I was was planning on getting the Crouching Tiger/Flying Daggers etc. Blu-Ray during this sale, but holy crap is the price high at Deep Discount! $61.60 when it's $39.99 at Amazon.

And they won't price match because the set is OOS at DD.

[skidmark]

Do any codes work for books?

[ds6161]

All I ordered was Pirates ot Caribbean trilogy 1st day. I got it today and all slipcovers are perfect.
Just waiting for BSG next week.

I thought about the new 300 but I already have the HD-dvd so I can wait a few years..

[Josh-da-man]

Do any codes work for books?

No.

But during every 20/25% off sale since they started selling books and CDs, they have dropped the price on many books for the duration of the sale. (Though, looking through a handful of titles, it doesn't like they're doing that this time.)

[JoeStSteven]

anyone else order an Oskar shelf ? Has anybody's actually shipped yet?

[sleepydumbdude]

Well picked up avatar books 1-3 for 74 even. I've been waiting to get them each for under 30 so yah!

[pinata242]

Does anyone know approximately what time the switch is flipped on release day to go from "Pre-Order" to "In stock"?

[EdTheRipper]

My first order arrived today. It took less than a week to get to me...not bad at all.

[nycdude]

My Bourne trilogy arrived yesterday.

Last order hopefully (all backordered)
300 complete experience
watchmen
Sin City

[JoeStSteven]

I happend to speak to a customer service rep today re: the Oskar shelves - she told me there was a fire in the warehouse (!!) and they are way behind. No orders will be cancelled but it may take longer then usual to deliver.

Very happy with the sale and the prices on Star Trek seasons.

This is weird... After I click "Complete Checkout", I get a message that says:

"We're Sorry. The service you requested is currently not available at your location."

And the website address has changed to:

Anyone else had this problem?

Because you are in Quebec. I saw something on DD's website about "if you live in Quebec call or whatever" (something like that).

I think that some items are not supposed to be sold in Quebec unless they have bilingual packaging or something. You will have to check it out and see.

James

[eXcentris]

Yeah, could be, but I've been ordering from DD for years. And I can order from amazon.com and other US sites with no problem.

I thought we (Quebec) had been put on the Axis of Evil list of again. See this:

http://forum.dvdtalk.com/other-talk/558515-i-resent.html

... :lol: ...

[mcjw_serenity]

I got a shipping confirmation for my second order a few hours ago. Maybe both orders will arrive on the same day...

*crosses fingers*

[eXcentris]

Good thing I checked my e-mail, because even though I never got an order confirmation page, and got redirected to that other page with the error message, this order did go thru. And since I tried multiple times, I ended up with 3 identical orders in my account page plus the one I made over the phone (thinking it hadn't worked...). So I had to call them back and cancel 3 of those 4 orders.

[DirkUSA]

Good luck my friend. I keep my fingers crossed that you only get your order once!

[alfonsosoriano]

Damn, gotta love their super fast free shipping now! Just got my order.

[Sessa17]

Damn, gotta love their super fast free shipping now! Just got my order.

:( Apparently I don't get this service. I first order shipped last Thursday & I still haven't received it.

[Mickactual]

Does anyone know approximately what time the switch is flipped on release day to go from "Pre-Order" to "In stock"?Just a wild guess, but I'd say midnight Central time (which is where they are).

[Snowmaker]

Still can't order We Were Soldiers BD for some reason.

[awil1026]

:( Apparently I don't get this service. I first order shipped last Thursday & I still haven't received it.
I haven't received my order yet, either. :(

[Willh51]

Just grabbed Coraline and Midnight Express Blu-rays. Will likely order Fast and Furious and 12 Monkeys when they're up for the discount.

[sdfan21]

I haven't receined my order yet, either. :(

Neither have I

Did anyone get a delivery confirmation number?

[DJariya]

My orders just shipped on Monday and Tuesday. If I get them by next week, I'll be cool.

[DJariya]

I haven't receined my order yet, either. :(

When did it ship? I wouldn't start freaking out yet since it's only been less than a week.

Plus, they give you a time frame on the shipping confirmation when you should receive them.

[awil1026]

I'm not freaking out. It shipped last Friday. I got a tad bit excited because people in my region have begun to receive orders.

[stitch360]

I had done my first order on 7/16, it was shipped on 7/17 with free shipping and it arrived today as well as my oskar multimedia shelf. That is really fast shipping.

[xDLafx]

Received my first order today, still waiting for my one back-ordered item to ship. I'll probably place a second order later today or tomorrow.

[Scarecrow]

Saw another code today... WOOT1

[pinata242]

Just a wild guess, but I'd say midnight Central time (which is where they are).

Thanks, I know that seems obvious, but I was just hoping someone in this massive thread would have experience so I don't stay up all night hitting F5 ;)

[chase3001]

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but why is the release date for Heroes Season 1 (Blu-ray) August 9th 2009?

http://www.deepdiscount.com/viewproduct.htm?productId=46233057&categoryId=65456

[ds6161]

Since I have been watching what all of you have been ordering to get idea's..
I noticed not 1 order of Blu Dark Knight .....

I guess we all got that on day 1!!!

[grither55]

Ugh I placed my order on the 17th and they haven't shipped it yet! I know it's free shipping but this is pissing me off. So slow.

[zekeburger1979]

Thanks, I know that seems obvious, but I was just hoping someone in this massive thread would have experience so I don't stay up all night hitting F5 ;)

I'll be doing that Tuesday morning provided that Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series stays where it is. Fingers crossed.......

[Paul_SD]

there's a couple in the list thread. I know my order is in there (ordered Saturday iirc).

I finally, grudgingly, ordered it. There are a few wonderful things in it, but the film as a whole is, frankly, disappointingly dumb. The early parking garage scene is emblematic of the movie's sound & fury masking a witless core.

[JoeStSteven]

Oskar DVD shelf shipped

[pinata242]

Get in line, skin-job! :mad:

Well, nice to see that you're off to a great start. Your third post is nothing but a bitch rant. :rolleyes:

If you wanted your order instantly, you should have gone and purchased them at a B&M. Obviously you wanted to get them cheap and now you're paying the (small) penalty of having to wait for the order to process and ship. Damn... -ohbfrank-

[JoeStSteven]

Oskar shelf delivered!!?!

[stitch360]

Oskar shelf delivered!!?!

Yes, i just recieved my shipping notice today for my oskar shelf and it was delivered yesterday.

[mcjw_serenity]

I'm personally holding out for an inevitable double-dip on both formats. The extras on both the DVD and BD are quite disappointing, and for a film that grossed $1 billion worldwide that's unacceptable.

I'm just sticking with my single-disc DVD until we get something along the lines of Warners' I am Legend: Ultimate Collector's Edition (with a commentary, additional features, etc.)

[Alterator]

Hi all, sorry if this has been posted already, but search didn't find it. So, I decided to stop procrastinating and make an order today - only to find two of the items I wanted were gone.
Specifically, I wanted to order the BR Sleeping Beauty and Pinocchio. They were there at the beginning of the week, but I cannot locate them on the site any longer.
Does DD do things like this sometimes, by removing items after the sale has started?

Thanks!

[tena73]

Yes. The item will be taken from the database if they are unable to offer it for the sale price. It's happened before.

[SethDLH]

Got my 2nd order today, placed on last friday shipped on saturday. Fast shipping again :)

[nycdude]

Sort of DD related.

They have the BSG dvd set at Buy.com for preorder for $138. what makes it ironic is that its through DD.

Link.

[statcat]

received 2 of my orders today everything came fine except I received one floater which has minor scuffs throughout but tested it and it works alright so it's staying.

But if you wait until it is released and it stays at its current price, it will be $129 at DD after coupon.:shrug:

[funkymonkeyjavajunky]

I have a question regarding DD's shipping policies. If I place an order and one item is in stock and one item is out of stock when does DD ship the items? Do they ship separately or together?

[statcat]

they would ship you the one item they have in stock and ship you the other whenever they get it in stock

[DirkUSA]

Oskar shelf delivered!!?!

I wanted to ask before: Does it smell burned? :sarcasm:

[NoirFan]

Man, I missed the UPS guy by ten minutes today, now I have to wait until Monday for all my stuff.

[VintageRacer]

Thanks, I know that seems obvious, but I was just hoping someone in this massive thread would have experience so I don't stay up all night hitting F5 ;)

For Watchmen it was midnight Pacific - but it went immediately to backorder. Coraline went from pre-order to in stock a little bit later (half an hour or so) but that didn't last too long before it was also backordered.

[rdodolak]

I came across several more codes for those that already used all of the previously posted codes:

BLUE
CJ25
DD22863
HIDEFDIGEST25

[bsmith]

I came across several more codes for those that already used all of the previously posted codes:

BLUE
DD22863

I actually made three separate orders all using DVDTALK so either it allows codes to be used multiple times or it is inconsistent in how it tries to enforce it.

[rdodolak]

Hmm ... I thought I read online that each code was one time use. If that's not true then that's even better or maybe I just confused it with the WBShop restriction. :o

Does the forum receive any benefit for each order that used the DVDTALK code or does the affliate link need to be used.

[rexinnih]

My second shipment that was shipped on Monday arrived today. Still waiting on the first shipment that was shipped out last Saturday.
Backordered Third Man and Seventh Seal Criterion BD were shipped so guess they are back in stock.

[goblin23]

Not saying for sure this will happen to your orders, but a couple of years ago I submittted 2 orders with the same code. They ended up charging me full price for one of the orders and I had to call to get the discount reapplied with a different code.

[Inhumans99]

My complete first order arrived today...yay! So...I guess I got lucky with my Short Circuit Blu purchase, picked it up for $7.42, but now after the 25% discount it would run me $9.65.

If the prices hold on Dollhouse Blu, Battlestar 4.5 Blu, and The Middleman, this Tuesday will be a good one for DD's bottom-line, but not so much for my bank account!

[msdmoney]

Just ordered Mad Men Season 2 Blu Ray for $23.17.

What an annoying special offer message after you complete your order. I hate it when websites play sound without any prompt.

I wish they had some of the newest UFC/Pride titles. :(

yeah I've had the same thing happen to me about 2 years ago. now i make sure not to use the same one twice.

[bsmith]

yeah I've had the same thing happen to me about 2 years ago. now i make sure not to use the same one twice.

Maybe they got tired of having to do that because all I can say is that the discount was applied to all three orders.

[JoeStSteven]

what a nightmare. I have placed 4 or 5 orders all with DVDTALK.

[Superdaddy]

Received one of the two titles I ordered today. It came in a plastic envelope with shipping info printed right on it and no bubble wrap inside (first time I've gotten anything from them in one of these). The DVD inside was seated in a plastic tray to keep it from rattling around. Although it does not appear to be a floater, I can hear the light rattling of what are probably pieces of a broken plastic disc hub inside the keep case. (Haven't opened it yet). This was ordered last Friday.

I am still awaiting the Peanuts 1960's Collection, which is still listed as backordered on my account and I've received no shipping e-mail, but my credit card has been billed for it, so I assume it's coming. Has anyone else with a backorder gotten a shipping confirmation for this title recently?

[edstein]

My Godfather BD Trilogy set was broken when I opened the box from DD. The discs are fine but the hinge pieces on the inside are broken and the disc holders float around.

[rexinnih]

Second shipment received today. Was mailed last Sat. Lots of viewing to do this weekend.

[NoirFan]

Between DD and B & N, I'm 2 for 4 on Bing cashback. How are others faring?

[FM]

My first shipment had two problems: One of the discs listed on the invoice was missing, and another disc was a floater. They responded to my inquiry within 24 hours or so, and are in the process of making things right. I'm happy so far.

I've gotten Bing on all three DD orders, but not on my BN purchase.

[packaok]

I don't know what time that the status will go from preorder to in stock, but because I'm on vacation this week, I'll be up at midnight (and perhaps later) to see if it happens at that time...

[Paul_SD]

My backordered Peanuts collection shipped Friday. Everything else has either been received or is in transit- including my BSG set from DVD Planet.

Will be placing one more order tomorrow. Was able to keep the total bill down quite a bit this year, which is a great feeling rather than the usual regret from ordering more than I really needed.

[Fielding Mellish]

The wait for my backordered Watchmen is killing me. But I can't bring myself to pay over $20 for any BluRay.

So I wait...

[seymouru]

The wait for my backordered Watchmen is killing me. But I can't bring myself to pay over $20 for any BluRay.

So I wait...Reminds me of what I tell my clients. Choose two (and only two) of the following outcomes:

1. Fast
2. Cheap
3. Accurate

You can't get all three, but you do get to choose which two are most important to you.

So if you want it fast and accurate, it won't be cheap. If you want it cheap and accurate, it won't be fast. And if you want it fast and cheap, it won't be accurate.

[rexinnih]

Between DD and B & N, I'm 2 for 4 on Bing cashback. How are others faring?

Two orders for me and two Bing Cashback's pending. Both with DDD.

What time (EST) do the products change for tomorrow? TIA!

[seymouru]

What time (EST) do the products change for tomorrow? TIA!Last Tuesday's releases were updated at about 3am ET/12am PT.

P.S. Since we're in Daylight Saving Time, it's actually EDT.

[gunm]

Rec'd the two in-stock items from my 3rd order (placed Thurs last week) today! They also shipped out the back-ordered item (Dragon Hunters BR) from that same order today!
