Absolutely. Without free shipping I don't even bother looking at the site.

[runner001]

Absolutely. Without free shipping I don't even bother looking at the site.

Me also.

[fronk777]

Is their 25% code still working?

[GenPion]

Me also.

Of course. It's the same for me.

[comanche_doyle]

the shipping is a little bit high, but I bought some dragon dynasty flicks at some nice prices with that 25% off sale.

[John Sinnott]

Yep, iNet is sponsoring the forum, so they get a sticky thread.

To answer and earlier question, the 25% off sale is over.

[chris_sc77]

Well i gave this site a try last night I placed my 1st order with them. Good prices on a lot of DVD's but I agree that shipping is a bit exorbitant . With that Shipping cost I better get this shit shipped out super fast.

[runner001]

when shipping is a third of the total price, i'd say that's extreme.

[pjflyer]

I don't like companies that make their profit on shipping. Seems dishonest to me.

[dino88]

Shipping & Handling: $33.85

-eek- Fuck. That.

[chris_sc77]

I got an email today that says it is standard shipping as well (4-14 days after it ships).
Hmmmmmm

[ratnamedted]

With that Shipping cost I better get this shit shipped out super fast.

I ordered the Richie Rich / Scooby-Doo Hour from them a week and a half ago and still have not received it. I am trying to be patient and give then the 14 days before I start to call and complain.

[ratnamedted]

Nevermind. It came in today. It took a while to get here, but it was a great price. Inetvideo has a lot of great prices, it is the shipping that seems to hurt everything. $3 shipping for one item seems okay, but when you tack on $2.50 for each additional item (or $5 for each boxset) the price gets ridiculous. If I bought 10 boxsets, I would pay nearly $50 in shipping alone. There is no way it would cost near that to ship them (even if they come from Canada). I'm not going to argue that they need to do free shipping, either though. There are some great prices on inetvideo and if free shipping were to be offered, those prices would necessarily go up. I would love to see something like a reduction on the per item shipping charges. Something like $3 for one dvd, and $1 for each additional.

Hi chris_sc77,

The only option on the website right now is "Standard Shipping". Based on the size of your order, it will surely be shipped USPS express mail. Delivery is normally within 2 to 6 business days. Ask our customer service for the tracking number; support@inetvideo.com.

Good Day!

Shipping is still ridiculous. Amazed that Chris_xxx of all people went for that. Wow.

The post about the shipping because of the "size of the order" is worrysome. WTH is that? :down:

[cardsfan111]

Like others, I've held off from ordering when I've seen the shipping rates.

However, I give a :up: to inetvideo for reading/posting here. Always nice to have the interaction with retailers about concerns or questions.

[SpinalGuffman]

I often see prices from inetvideo on amazon.com that are cheaper than they are on intevideo's own site. I also noticed quite a few prices being raised right before this recent 25% off sale.

The members of dvdtalk -- especially the ones who regularly frequent the bargain threads -- have a keen eye for this sort of thing. They notice, and they share with others here.

You have your work cut out for you, to gain trust here.

Good day!

A much more reasonable and true shipping cost would go like:

1st item $2.95
2nd item $2.50
3rd item and so on: 1$ ea.

I would love to spend more money on your site (and have put in quite a few orders when shipping is reasonable), but your day-to-day shipping price is outrageous and an absolute scam.

[ProfessorEcho]

This is a great place to buy DVDs from!!!! They have the best prices and the most reasonable shipping rates anywhere on the web! Yay for iNetVideo, the best place in the world to buy DVDs!!!*

The reason why I say "size of the order" is because orders like chris_sc77's that are over a certain dollar amount, and/or more than a certain amount of items are purchased, we will upgrade the shipping service. :up:

Hello fellow members,

Also, if there's anything else you would like to see implemented on the site please let me know.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

Good selection of Blu's, but what I would like to see implemented is a mention of whether a particular Blu is the Canadian or US release. Even if you just listed the distributor where available, for instance, we would know that if it's Alliance, it is not the US.

Also, and I know this is probably an arduous task, but a little uniformity in titling would be great. I was looking for Veggie Tales DVDs for my little girl, and searching "Veggie Tales" vs. "VeggieTales" brought up completely different lists.

[ksyblues]

when are you going to carry Illusionist blu ray? its a canada only release

[comanche_doyle]

So my order came in today, and instead of the dragon dynasty Above the Law, they sent me the Steven Seagal version. I checked the email sent and the receipt that came with the order and they both say "Special Collector's Edition" and had Cory Yuen's name on it. I think that is going to be my last order with these guys. They have no attention to detail.

[hindolio]

...if there's anything else you would like to see implemented on the site please let me know...

redo your site to focus on usability and functionality. refer to dvdempire as an example/standard. amazon's site is okay, but there are too many limitations to it.

hey, you asked! :D

[Jaymole]

Free shipping on orders over $55 on Labor Day only. Hopefully the prices won't jump too much.

Thank you nick1091.

You are absolutely right. A lot of the times the titles derive directly from the Amazon.com listing of the movie, game, or music CD. This does bring up a lot of inconsistencies.

We will definitely address this matter in the weeks to come.

As for the studio or distributor of the our movies, I will have to look into this a bit more with our sales team to add this in the product info. on each item's listing page.

[inetvideo]

Free shipping on orders over $55 on Labor Day only. Hopefully the prices won't jump too much.

We jumped the gun a little.

If you haven't already visited the site, you can order now and still receive free shipping even though Labor day is tomorrow; for all order over 55$ to the US and Canada and 50% off shipping anywhere else in the world.

It is said the imitation or mocking is the sincerest form of flattery.

We are currently in the process of redesigning our site. We have people going page by page, item by item and step by step by simulating the process of placing an order online through the new site.

We sincerely apologize for the error!

If you can contact sales@inetvideo.com asap, someone will respond you first thing Tuesday morning.

Just make sure to mark in the subject line "DVD TALK - Wrong movie Sent, (and your invoice number)"

As for what you received in error, you may keep it. If the movie you ordered is still in stock, we will simply send a replacement free of charge, otherwise a refund will be issued on the item and it's shipping cost.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

[hindolio]

Please do a similar Free Shipping offer some time in October timing it right so that I can get some of the new Alliance Horror flicks on Blu-ray in time to view them around Halloween... I really want The Faculty and Cursed. Hopefully the releases are good.

Thanks for listening to our feedback/suggestions! :)

Hi ksyblues,

I'll check our list of pre-orders tomorrow when were all back to work. If it's an alliance release, the likelihood of us carrying this movie, if not soon then in the near future should be pretty good.

Reading about the contest on the homepage just caused me to do a double take as well. I'd be embarrassed if I had to promote that giveaway. Actually, I wouldn't do it. Might this be the "jump the shark" moment in the history of DVDTalk.

[Mikael79]

^ I saw that, too, and it made me shake my head. You'd think that they'd plan the promotion a little better, being that this is a DVD site, and most of us understand OAR.

[mhg83]

I thought at first this was a joke. Now i see it's real. That has to be the weirdest thing I've seen on dvd talk.

We run contests/promotions with a budget in mind.

This is the first of many we hope with DVD Talk.

We won't get everything right the first time (we wish we could), but your feedback and opinions will help us make future promotions much better.

What can we work on for next time?

[flixtime]

Hmm...well next month is October which means it'll be time for the annual horror movie challenge here at DVDTalk. If you look in the main DVD Talk forum somewhere on page 1 or page 2 will be a thread with the title as follows:

100 Movies. 31 Days. The 5th Annual "October Horror Movie Challenge" (10/1 - 10/31)

The folks participating in that discussion are still nominating films and such, perhaps a future promotion can tie in with the discussion in that particular thread.


inetvideo, hopefully both you and the membership here benefit from your recently upgraded relationship with this site. My criticism was simply a result of feeling that somewhere along the line - you-INTERNETBRANDS-DVDTALK - it might have struck someone that a non-OAR DVD release as a giveaway might come across as sour to a significant portion of the membership at a movie-related website such as this.

Well I already own both versions of Dark City. As for Moreau, haha, I don't feel indebted to Frankenheimer's intended aspect ratio (who knows what he intended, period). The pan-and-scan makes it even more bizarre in a way. And now I'm in the midst of watching it with Rifftrax.
At least it's not a snap case.

Just casting my vote for this feature. I've seen quite a few BDs on iNetVideo that I wanted to pick up, but didn't because I was wary of receiving Canadian versions. Sometimes I can tell from the tiny French titling on the covers, but sometimes I can't. ;) Would be nice to know for sure what I was getting. Thanks for being open to feedback! :thumbsup:

Oh great. I didn't even notice this thread until just today. I ordered some stuff, including a few Blu Rays, on the Labor Day free shipping sale. I had no idea that the Blu Rays I ordered could end up being Canadian versions which I assume have a different UPC and therefore I would be unable to trade it into FYE or resell it to anybody in the US for any worthwhile price. Did I miss this "Canadian versions may be substituted" in their fine print somewhere? I assumed everything would be Region 1 US. If not and they end up being Canadian ones, I hope that Inetvideo will pay for my return shipping costs and give me a refund on those, and I guess in the future I won't be able to buy Blu Rays from them any more until they accurately note everything.

BTW, since an Inetvideo employee is watching this thread, I'll also add my opinion that while I like some of Inetvideo's cheaper prices I refuse to order from any site that charges so much shipping per title... just as I refuse to order from Columbia House when I have to pay shipping. So I always wait for free shipping sales, and it often takes months before I have enough to meet the free shipping minimum.

I also make notes during non-free-shipping times of the prices of stuff I'm interested in, and if I notice the price goes up on any of those during the rare free shipping times (as Inetvideo has done many times) then I won't buy those ones just on principle. That's easy to do because I have plenty of other stuff to watch.

Good morning fellow members,

We've decided to drop the price on
The Forbidden Kingdom (2-Disc Special Edition) (Blu-ray)

Now ONLY $9.99 plus s&h.

The banner isn't even up yet. We wanted to give you guys and gals first dibs.

Have a great weekend!!

p.s. The price may not have been updated on the search page yet, but click on the item, and our listing price shows $9.99!

[Manzana]

We've decided to drop the price on
The Forbidden Kingdom (2-Disc Special Edition) (Blu-ray)

Now ONLY $9.99 plus s&h.

I bought this from Inetvideo for $9.99 in May 2009 (during free shipping). Several times before and after I looked and again saw it for $9.99. I don't remember a single time this last year when I didn't see it for $9.99 (+ shipping), but then I don't look daily. The reason I'm posting is it's funny for me to read that you decided to drop the price to $9.99 on an item that AFAIK has been $9.99 this last year which means that you must've raised the price somewhere in between the times I looked. That again gets back to my whole issue with how Inetvideo plays games such as bumping up prices on some items before free shipping sales so that it ends up almost a wash. The only things I order during free shipping sales are the items that Inetvideo does not raise in price. Sometimes I'll tolerate a $1 increase in price, but not more. However, I can't get too upset about it because Amazon and DeepDiscount plays games with their prices too (though less so). It just means that I have to do a little more work keeping track of prices to avoid becoming a victim of the price game. Any store that thinks consumers don't notice or remember price games is very wrong. I don't expect any store to change as I've accepted that this is the way it is.

[Manzana]

By the way, could someone please clarify under which circumstances a person could receive a Canadian DVD or Blu-Ray from Inetvideo? Could anything you order from their site end up being a Canadian version or is it only certain Blu-Rays or certain studios?

I need region 1 versions with valid US UPCs in case I ever want to trade it in. I don't believe any stores will accept trade-ins from foreign countries. The reason I ask is someone mentioned the possibility of Canadian versions in this thread but no details were provided.

I have indeed ordered Blu-Rays from Inet which were the Canadian versions. The Brave One & Awake both had French & English titling on the spine and dual language synopsis on the back.

A History of Violence, The Forbidden Kingdom, Lucky Number Slevin, and Eastern Promises all have the French titling as well.

plus s&h.



can you tell me why your shipping and handling is so ridiculous. I understand why on eBay, but on your site?

All your deals are tainted w/ ridiculous shipping and handling. It would be better to charge a bit more and do reasonable s&h charges so people don't feel they are being raped. It's almost impossible to assemble a decent order b/c of excessive s&h. On Amazon or other sites, people are a lot more likely to add an extra DVD or so to an order b/c the bulk of shipping has already been paid for, but on your site each additional DVD is 2.50 (or 1.00 after 5).

I appreciate your good prices on some stuff, but, like most here on DVD Talk, will wait for free shipping promos or just buy the really good deal w/o even considering anything else.

[Manzana]

Regarding the Canadian Blu-Rays that Inetvideo sells without mentioning, all I can say is "no way, eh!" Seriously, though, since The Forbidden Kingdom Blu-Ray was just mentioned, I checked mine and sure enough there was French on the cover which I hadn't noticed before. I then searched on Wherehouse.com to find the US region 1 UPC which is definitely different than mine which says 057373201961.

I assume this means if I were ever to take this or any other Canadian Blu-Ray received from Inetvideo to trade in at FYE, they'd refuse to take it. Nice to know I'm buying stuff I can't trade in anywhere. And I have a thing against eBay so they aren't a possibility. I just double-checked Inetvideo's page and there's absolutely no mention of this being a Canadian release with a non-US UPC.

So, Inetvideo, until you properly label Canadian and US versions on your web site, I will no longer buy any more Blu-Rays from you unless the price is super low or I'm 100% sure I'll never want to trade it in for the rest of my life. Having a US version which is resellable in case I don't want it is worth something to me. Strange how I've never had to worry about Amazon or Buy.com sending me Canadian versions.

If Inetvideo starts sending Canadian SD DVDs, please post here so I'll know to avoid those too. Now I don't worry about Canadian versions for HD-DVDs because they are already so cheap and nobody will accept HD-DVDs for trade anyway, but the rest do matter. Inetvideo should really label their product's source properly.

[chris_sc77]

^Yeah I have recieved about half of the DVD being Canadian DVDs. Most are no different than the US versions but some are. For Example I ordered Delitious from them thinking it would be the US release and it was the canadian version with ONLY a music video and trailer as fetures. This pisses me off cause the Regular US version has all these extras:


- Stalking Delirious Featurette
- Promotional Shorts
- Director Commentary
- Music Video "Shove It"
- Theatrical Trailer


SO i am pretty ticked but I dont know what else I can do.

[Manzana]

I appreciate your good prices on some stuff, but, like most here on DVD Talk, will wait for free shipping promos or just buy the really good deal w/o even considering anything else.

Just be sure you make a note of the prices on stuff you want to buy well before the free shipping promo starts because what I've sometimes noticed is the price will jump up $1-$3 when free shipping begins. Since shipping is $2.50 each up to the first 5, there's not much savings during free shipping unless you buy titles that didn't jump up in price (not all of them do). Then the price goes back down (but not always to the same previous price) after free shipping. At least that's what I remember observing.

One can only speculate as to why, but I've always held the opinion that the places that do this type of gimmick are hoping that people don't have a memory of previous prices and will roughly pay the same net price during free shipping (i.e. $5.99) as they would without free shipping ($2.99 + $2.50) because "free shipping" makes them think they're getting an extra special deal. I think that Inetvideo should make a compromise... permanently raise their base prices slightly (perhaps $1 on everything) and reduce their shipping per item to $1. I'd rather be able to buy from them at any time than have to wait for free shipping and only buy certain items that didn't jump up in price.

[Manzana]

SO i am pretty ticked but I dont know what else I can do.

So SD DVDs can be Canadian versions too? OK. Good to know. From now on I'm basically going to keep it in my mind when I order from Inetvideo I will be getting Canadian versions which as I said before is OK if they are super cheap or I know I will NEVER want to trade them in, but usually I don't know if I want to keep something forever, so knowing this will definitely reduce what I buy from them.

I don't mind the French on the cover, and as long as the content is the same (as it usually but not always is) on the discs that's not a problem, but Canadian versions are not tradable to FYE or any of your normal US retailers, so you're stuck with eBay (which I hate) or Craigslist. I'd much rather have a normal US release I could trade into FYE for a few bucks if I want to someday. If anyone knows of any local retailers who will accept trade-ins of Canadian, please let me know.

The few times I bought with them (w/ free shipping), the price did go up, but the price was still cheaper than if I had bought them w/ shipping.

The last couple of "free shipping deals" have rasied the min. to 65 instead of 50. Though the times I have bought from them I have bought way over 65, I passed b/c quite frankly I got most of what I wanted.

I actually can't see why they do this game w/ shipping. I bet it scares away a lot more customers than it attracts. Not many outside these bargain forums are going to hassle w/ trying to figure out the best deal. A normal customer that sees 13.00 shipping for 3 DVDs is going to run for the hills.

Yes... free shipping is USUALLY cheaper than not during free shipping, but if the price goes up the typical $1-$2 you're usually only saving $.50-$1.50 rather than $2.50 each.

The raised minimum for free shipping also presented a problem to me. I just barely made it to $55, and if it goes any higher in the future it's going to be even longer before I order. Frankly the only really good deals are the HD-DVDs, but I already bought the ones I want long ago so there's not enough left there to be filler material. There were 2 HD-DVDs that I wanted this time, but SURPRISE SURPRISE they were out of stock on those. Knowing I may get Canadian versions means that I probably won't buy $9.99 Blu-Rays from them any more, and they rarely have enough of the $1 or $3 specials to reach $55.

The reason I wasted my time posting so much in this thread is that (1) I'm stupid :-) and (2) I'm hoping since Inetvideo posts in here that they will read people's comments and reconsider their shipping/price strategy a bit. Like I said, how about raising prices slightly and implementing a more reasonable shipping fee structure?

I'm beginning to use the reputable third party resellers on Amazon more and more (especially those fulfilled by Amazon) who often have prices comparable to Inetvideo's specials and I have yet to get Canadian versions from them.

Anyway, I've blabbed enough here and I'll try to stop now. Hopefully Inetvideo will do the right thing and label their Canadian product and fix their shipping prices, but until that happens it looks like I'm not going to be using them very often.

Yeah. And all because a Canadian e-tailer sells Canadian discs.

I'll admit they could do a better job of letting people know they are from Canada. I think they should register iNetVideo.ca and promote that address.

[Manzana]

I'll admit they could do a better job of letting people know they are from Canada. I think they should register iNetVideo.ca and promote that address.

Inetvideo.ca would help point out that they are a Canadian dealer (I thought they had locations in both countries... not exclusively Canada, so I considered them a US retailer too). It's not the fact they sell Canadian discs but that they don't label specific product as being from Canada or the US since you never know which version you'll get (without asking other purchasers first). And the second reason is the high shipping costs.

Sorry to hijack the thread. It seemed like the best place at the time. Yes, let's get back to the Inetvideo deals...

Hi chris_sc77,

Anything that you received unlike what was expected, please e-mail sales@inetvideo.com with a link to this thread and explain the situation.

They will review the issue and will offer you one or more resolutions to the matter.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

[OmahaStar]

Man, the selection is seriously hideous. I searched for two things. First was "Doctor Who" ... Three actual Doctor Who titles came up. One was a List in Time set, the other were two volumes of the new Who. Not the season box sets, just individual discs. The other 23 things that came up had nothing to do with this search. Somebody, please tell me what Little House on the Prairie, Crash, and Creepshow have to do with "Doctor Who"?

The other thing I searched for was Torchwood. Nothing came up.

I then tried a third search, for Star Trek. Everybody carries it, right? Nope. Not these yahoos. There is exactly one match - Star Trek Nemesis.

Combine the insanely high shipping charges, with a complete lack of product, and I have to wonder, how do they stay in business?

[cheapdvdho]

Why is everybody crapping on inetvideo? They've got tons of eclectic stuff for cheap. You've just got to wait until they've got cheap or free shipping specials and then load up. I've gotten loads of cheapo HD DVDs, cheapo DVD box sets and CDs from them when they've offered free shipping.

Patience is a virtue.

and re stock, i do not believe inetvideo is comparable to a normal online retailer (amazon, bestbuy, buy.com even). perhaps the rep is able to explain it better, but i think they are almost like a close-out retailer, like big lots or similar.

the fact that they have new titles and hot products leads me to believe they are trying to expand and "get people in the door" to purchase other products as well.

of course, this is just me guessing :D

Hello That'sAllFolks,

Thank you to you and everyone for the feedback.

Please keep in mind, that our prices fluctuate on all marketplaces, not just our website, but on Amazon, eBay and Buy.com.

We, like other retailers are working with the challenging economic times and the exchange is another factor that we deal with when pricing our products.

Our shipping rates are being reviewed as we speak. Thanks to your feedback we are sure to come back with good news.

Good day!

Thank you OmahaStar,

The search is very key-word sensitive. I have on many occasion searched for product knowing we do not have in stock to test what my results are.

The results you received, however not accurate they were to your search, it was based on the key words.

Torchwood - we do not carry unfortunately for the time being.

Star Trek - we only have Star Trek Nemesis

Our motto at iNetVideo.com is simply we want and love selling entertainment for LESS! Sometimes if the right price is not out there for us or we know we can't offer the lowest price then we may not carry the item right away.

[TallGuyMe]

who else thinks inetvideo already regrets this partnership with dvdtalk? LOL

Hello hindolio,

You hit the nail on the head. We are liquidators of entertainment. Our warehouse consists of over 50 000 unique titles. Don't even get me started on the actual quantity. :)

iNetVideo.com was once upon a time only known for rare hard to find or out of print movies.

We've since branched out to Video Games, Music CDs, HD DVDs, Blu-rays (which include new releases).

It will only get better!

[OmahaStar]

It will only get better!

That's hardly a difficult thing to say, since it cannot possibly get any worse. Combine this thread with my own searches and the reviews I've seen elsewhere, and I cannot imagine ever ordering from your company. It's sad, really.

[takingchase]

Wow, so much bashing of inetvideo in here. Certain things certainly should be scrutinized but some of you are ruthless.

I have personally ordered from inetvideo twice and have no quarrels whatsoever with them. Why do you all act like they should be the next amazon? I thought it was pretty apparent that they are more of a closeout entertainment seller. The bottom line is just like MOST stores you have to wait for a good sale to really get any good prices. I don't just assume that every store I go into is automatically going to have the lowest price on the title I want and then bitch about it when they are too expensive. No, I go elsewhere or wait for a sale.

[Jaymole]

I think some of the criticisms posted in this thread are justified and some are not...but in either case I just want to thank the person responding for inetvideo for answering all questions posed to him in a very professional and courteous way.

I've bought tons of HD-DVDs from them- I don't even have an HDTV yet, but I'll have plenty of stuff to watch on it when I finally get one (I have 2 players I got real cheap which are in a safe place til I have something to hook them up to.) One disc came sealed but there was no disc inside; I emailed them and they sent me a new one, I didn't even have to send back the empty case, so that was pretty cool of them.

I don't know how much more unsold HD-DVD stock is out there, but I'll buy almost anything for under 5 bucks.

[TallGuyMe]

shipping kills it, each and everytime I think of ordering from them. so I don't.

[inetvideo]

Hi TallGuyMe,

We'll be reviewing our shipping rates. We have received feedback from a lot of people. Especially since Christmas is coming!

I hope that everyone knows that we are listening. Sometimes it takes longer than hoped for things to get put into action.

I will have news within the coming weeks about our shipping rates.
*fingers crossed*

[consoleman]

Hopefully you have plans to restock on some of those Warner HD-DVDs too. In your last "free shipping" sale, I had high hopes of putting in another order only to find nothing left. I always leave off a few titles so I have enough to buy in my next order not thinking these would ever go out of stock.

If you are going to have another "free shipping" sale, please make the purchase requirement be $50 because $65 is just way too high for most of us.

Hi consoleman,

We are always on the lookout for titles we are out of stock, or never had before.

Is this just from my cart having them in it earlier or what? It seems like an odd e-mail to receive... almost like it just wants me to check-out with those items but I can't be sure...

Hi GenPion,

Sounds like a duplicate order was made in our checkout system. This happens if you go far enough into the checkout and then close the page.

Simply contact support@inetvideo.com to disable the payment reminders.

If you received a shipping confirmation e-mail then you order has surely been shipped out. You can ask for your order status at the same time.

Good day!

What the hell? Why does the checkout refuse to list anything but standard shipping? I'm so goddamn tired of media mail. It's one thing when I need a bunch of shit and there's a free shipping offer going, but I'm damn well not paying for it. First Class, Priority or GTFO.

Sounds like a duplicate order was made in our checkout system. This happens if you go far enough into the checkout and then close the page.

Seriously??

This doesn't provide a warm fuzzy about your checkout code. What other holes do you have?

What I mean is, when customers go through our checkout and for whatever reason close their browser and then restart their placing of an order at a later date our checkout believes that, that customer still intends on completing the open order.

We use the same checkout that caters to our eBay store (http://stores.shop.ebay.com/iNetVideo-com__W0QQ_armrsZ1), which also explains this, winning bidders or buy it now purchasers are given a specific amount of time to submit payment.

Silly, silly inetvideo. One excuse after another. Doesn't sound like you thought out your business beforehand. Crash and burn immanent?

A technical issue means they didn't think out their business, and they are about to crash and burn?

That's kind of a strange conclusion to reach, isn't it?

In business for 10+ years, experience in the entertainment business for 30+ years, 1.6M+ orders shipped, AND they've taken the time to establish a rep. on this forum to address questions, concerns, promote special DVDTalk-only deals and respond to every nitpick and gripe with courtesy... give 'em a break. They're already addressing some major concerns that have been posted here, which I think is pretty awesome...

awesome deal, only problem is im not paying 20 dollars shipping when my order is 30.. thats almost as much as the damn order itself

you guys seriously need to offer better shipping offers :down:

[Viper187]

Kind of sad. I ordered from Amazon.co.uk and iNetVideo the same day. My order from the UK reached me here in the US before my goddamn iNetVideo order.

i wouldn't mind the shipping length if it didn't cost so damn much.. the shipping on the order i almost made last night was almost as much as my order! i checked and i could get the same dvds total cheaper on amazon user store with 3 day usps air.

inet.. i love love love your deals but you seriously need to offer better shipping prices or atleast cut a great deal on multiple products for instance the 3 dollar horror ends up being like 5-6 each with shipping

I took advantage of that free shipping deal and made a $100 order. I'm still trying to knock off the rest of my VHS collection. Thought I'd grab a bunch of out of print titles before the holiday deals everywhere else start. There are a ton of BDs I need, but I'm holding off in hopes of scoring some at DD's 25% sale and others on Amazon. I hate these titles that never seem to come down in price though. Jingle All the Way isn't worth $20 on DVD or BD. That's something I'll be checking the price on at DD come November.

I find the shipping from amazon.co.uk to be quicker than many U.S. and Canadian retailers.

^ i concur.

[lunchmoney]

really it is simple - Your company "iNetVideo" advertises
like you are one of the big players on the internet...
like overstock.com, buy.com etc... But if you want to
be a player then you need to start offering flat rate shipping
because with your shipping cost no one wants to buy from you....

True. It's also a matter of speed though. Nobody likes media mail. There's no excuse for that insanely slow shit anymore. What is it, an extra few cents for first class? Media mail needs to go. I wish stores would stop supporting it. It's the cheapest, slowest shipping possible, people know it, and it pisses us off. OKAY?

[ksyblues]

actually first class is sometimes cheaper than media mail..

[JB7]

Guess iNetVideo didn't like what you guys were saying DD, is now sponsoring this section.

[GenPion]

Well, I sent them an e-mail over a week ago asking for the status on my order and never got a reply e-mail (and the site says it can take up to 48 hours)... where's good customer service when you need it? If iNetVideo doesn't like to hear DVDTalk readers give constructive criticism then that's their own company issue to deal with. My guess though is that Deep Discount is sponsoring right now because it's probably going to be a different sponsor every once in a while - most likely to coincide with different promotions each company is running. So I definitely wouldn't take it to mean iNetVideo has ditched this forum.

[pilot]

The DD image was a mistake/glitch. DD is sponsoring BR Bargains apparently.

[Viper187]

Did anyone else receive their orders from that free shipping promo a little over a week ago yet? I hate this waiting shit.

this, my 30 dollar order from the 3 dollar horror sale has shipping that cost almost as much as the frigging order.. not really a deal when you overcharge shipping PER title

I've shipped 11 DVDs for under $5 before (media mail). And with flat rate priority boxes, most medium sized orders should only cost $12 and under AND get to you in 2-3 days.

[inetvideo]

I really must thank you all!

I've said it once, and I'll say it again because of your feedback, we're in the process of reviewing our shipping rates. Obviously it's taking longer than expected, but we're listening to feedback from all channels and we want to get it right!

Our $3 horror sale, even w/shipping and handling, were items we cut in half in price if not more.

I really ask for your patience.

In the meantime, what else would you all like to see, in regards to promotions? Let me know!

[Viper187]

So now I've received my Amazon.ca order from the 14th and my Yes-Asia order from the 13th, but I'm still waiting for my goddamn iNetVideo order from the 4th. Unacceptable! I ordered 14 DVDs and I want them NOW. Didn't iNetVideo used to ship US orders from NY? I'm 1 goddamn state away (PA) FFS.

Every time I've ever placed an inetvideo order (3-4 times over the last year, direct and thru Amazon), it's always shipped from Canada. Their Amazon listings say that they ship from New York, but I've never received a packaged from them that actually shipped from New York.

Well, it doesn't matter. My order still should've been here by now. Media mail is garbage and it needs to go.

Edit: FINALLY got my order.

[mitch079]

Christ, if you're that anal about how long it takes to get something, order somewhere else. That, or learn some patience. Either way, quit crying a river and throwing a temper tantrum because you come across like a spoiled brat. God forbid you actually have to wait.

how about until a flat rate do more free shipping with X amount of money like 25,30 or 40 or 50, seriously no one wants to pay 50 bucks for dvds then end up paying 30-40 shipping.. thats ridiculous

when you are paying that much shipping for EACH ITEM you would think it wouldn't take 2 weeks no? it has nothing to do with patience it has to do with inets bullshit shipping rates yeah we can order at other places but we DO want to order from inet.. is it that hard for a flat rate shipping plan? really?

[steelpotato]

Only 2 weeks? You're lucky; some of us aren't in the US and not only have to wait longer but pay MORE for shipping!

it varies, i know people in canada and UK who have gotten it in 1-2 weeks and some 3-4 and ive gotten stuff from 8 days to 2 weeks

i don't mind waiting if they didnt overcharge shipping PER title, if it was 1 flat rate ill wait

Hi styl3s,

Just an FYI, we don't want you to get the wrong idea. Shipping is not $3 per item.

Here are our rates listed below to the United States:

First Item: $2.95
DVDs, HDs, Blu Rays, CDs, Games

Items 2 - 5 : $2.50/item
$2.50/item

6th item and on: $1.00/item

Boxsets & Packs" 4.95 ea.

For additional information please click here (http://www.inetvideo.com/Store/Tab.aspx?tabid=4#shippingrates).

[ProfessorEcho]

Thank you so much for clearing that up! Wow, and all this time I thought the shipping was a ripoff, but that really shows what a tremendous bargain it is! Who knew?

:yack:

[That'sAllFolks]

It's hard to imagine any company justifying those ridiculous shipping prices. The liason here probably is not in charge and is getting the bashing, but c'mon this is a bargain forum and any fool can see that those shipping prices are ridiculous for any website (outside of ebay).

Almost everyone here knows how much it is to ship media mail and to make money on the postage doesn't even make sense for a website, esp. when it pisses so many people off. They're not trying to circumvate fees, so why do they do this?

BTW, if I order more than one box set, I place TWO orders to make them pay for shpping twice. If they're gong to be unreasonable, so am I.

I don't want you to do get the wrong idea well.. there is no wrong idea but your shipping rates are bullshit i had an order for less then 30 dollars and shipping was almost the same as the cost of the dvd themselves

again BULLSHIT your deals aren't deals when you have shipping as ridiculous as that

[GizmoDVD]

There is a reason I only order when they offer free shipping... (and only Canadian exclusive Blu-rays).

[SpinalGuffman]

I was wondering how long the sponsorship would last. I hope this message board rep passes the criticism back up the pipeline. The Internet is comprised of four main ingredients: keyboards, pissed off people, time, and captioned images of cats. One of these four has nothing to do with inetvideo.

The rep has been pretty cool, especially in the face of the heat here. But it is well-deserved heat.

You misquoted their shipping prices, so he corrected you. Now you jump all over him because you don't like the prices. You already made that point.

Like any other retailer, you figure out the cost of what you want, including shipping. If it's not to your liking, you're free to buy it somewhere else.

Even with the high shipping prices, I've still found some great deals there.

STILL no expedited shipping options? Are you nuts!? I will NOT be ordering from iNetVideo again. I don't care how much it costs me to order everything from amazon marketplace or ebay with expedited shipping. I don't do business with stores that refuse to provide the option for expedited shipping or at least use First Class.

[TallGuyMe]

you guys seriously need to chill... I can't stand the prices at Barnes & Noble or Borders, so I don't shop there.... but what I don't do is spend every day brow beating the store manager. MOVE THE FUCK ON, PEOPLE.

Guys, enough with the shipping stuff. I think they know it sucks. Don't shop there if you don't like it, simple.

[inetvideo]

Deal ALERT for buyers in the U.S.

Our buy.com storefront is having a clearance on over 100 HD DVDs. All singles are $4.99 and boxset prices have also been reduced.

Our buy.com storefront also offers free shipping on every single item.

Check it out here:

The other day, I picked up Sublime, A Christmas Story, and Dukes Of Hazzard for $4.99 each. Really good price on Sublime.

[andicus]

It's nice to see that the inetvideo.ca site has been updated.

What's not nice is the fact that the prices are now ridiculous when compared to the inetvideo.com site.

I guess this is the compromise to come up with a better shipping cost?

I'll agree that the shipping cost is much better, but when you're charging double and more for a lot of items, it's just redistributing the costs, which really doesn't help.

Hi andicus,

The way it works is not compared site to site. We have formulas in place for the different markets we are working around.

iNetVideo.com vs. competing American marketplaces
iNetVideo.ca vs. competing Canadian marketplaces

We realize the prices are not accurate .com vs. .ca but this is what we're working with.

Feel free to contact supportcanada@inetvideo.com in regards to pricing issues and they will surely accommodate you if the opportunity is there.
