$10 off Up and Monsters, Inc. pre-order at Amazon - Page 8

Mister Peepers · 11-04-09, 05:08 PM

Which makes no sense since everyone got the separate $10 deal for ordering both at the same time. Snow white is another one.

Do what others did and send a few emails until you hit gold.

Amazon shot me down as well. Guess Target is getting my business next week if I pick them up. At this point I might just wait for the Black Friday sales to see if they are cheaper then.

I would think that Monsters, Inc will drop another couple of bucks before this is all over with.

Hopefully. $34.48 is a good deal but I'll just wait and see if Monsters gets dropped to $19.99. I'm not going to ask for the $10 Snow White coupon since I didn't even buy it.

Just dropped to $22.49. Also Terminator Salvation dropped another $1 to $16.99. As well as Angels and Demons which also dropped $1 to $18.99.

Public Enemies also dropped another $1 to $19.99.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince dropped in price to $16.99.

Seems like it would be another YMMV because you'd think they would see that $12.99 is already cheaper than $19.96.

My thoughts as well, but I emailed them all the same. We'll see.

The price that matters is the sale price before discounts taken.

Up is down to $19.99 now http://www.amazon.com/Disc-Combo-Pac...7376517&sr=8-3

very nice, thanks for the update. I'm still showing the $22 and $24 in my order, I sent an email about Monsters Inc earlier, so hopefully they will fix them both soon.

I received a generic response:

Quote:

Whenever you pre-order a book, CD, video, DVD, software, or video game, the price we charge when we ship it to you will be the lowest price offered by Amazon.com between the time you placed your order and the release date. If the price changes, you'll see the update (or refund, if your shipment is already being prepared) within 24 hours.

I'll give them their 24 hours, then fire off another message. I still have their original email, which explicitly stated that the cost of my total order would be reduced by $10:

Quote:

I'm sorry this promotion wasn't applied to your order.

To correct this error, I've reduced the cost of your order by $10.00.

kevin75 · 11-04-09, 07:00 PM

unfortunately, my order has not yet reflected the newest price drops. i hope that they come through soon.

Brent L · 11-04-09, 07:03 PM

I just called them about the extra $5 off because of the price drops. They said that the price wouldn't automatically fall because whoever previously applied the other $10 did so in a way that made the price of the BDs in the order appear to already be cheaper than what they are currently on the site for.

To make up for it they applied a $5 off promo to my account so that I get $5 off my next order...which will be Family Guy Vol. 7 and The Simpsons Season 12 to bring that order down to $20.xx now. Woohoo!

I'm in the same place as you. I would rather wait to see if Monsters, Inc. drops in price as well.

So, the snowhite thanks is only applicable for Up/Monsters?

s72450 · 11-04-09, 07:24 PM

My order hasn't dropped either, but apparently they will apply it soon according to an e-mail back I recieved.

At $32.98 for both Up and Monsters Inc., this was too good to pass up.

nycdude · 11-04-09, 08:03 PM

boy, the prices here are sure tempting. If both of these titles are $20 each less the $10 discount, that would be the sweet price point for a definite sale.

I just cancel both my Up/Monster's Inc. & Harry Potter/Terminator Salvation orders and reordered them.

If they aren't fixed by morning I will be doing the same. I think I accidentally gave them the wrong price when I emailed them about Monsters Inc...think I said it was $18.99...(distracted at work)....anyways If they give me 18.99 I won't complain, if they don't I won't be upset...just get them to drop it to the $22 it says on the site.

tonymontana313 · 11-04-09, 08:13 PM

Man, who would have thought with Amazon and Walmart slugging it out like this, that we would get blu-ray preorders for cheaper than the dvd. Simply unreal!

zombeaner · 11-04-09, 08:52 PM

Well, my order price is based upon the price of Monsters, Inc, since they reduced the price of Up to $10 and I have a $10 promotional price adjustment, that means that essentially I only pay for Monsters, Inc. I sent them an e-mail about adjusting the price of MI and I expect it to be fixed soon.

bhauge · 11-04-09, 09:05 PM

For orders that will be shipping with Prime, what do you think the latest is that we could still cancel the order before it enters the "Shipping Soon" phase? Maybe Sunday afternoon?

They state on the site that the price will be adjusted within 24 hours of the price change. Up got reported as a price drop this morning, so you have until tomorrow morning at the latest.

There's zero reason to cancel the order just to redo it unless you have zero patience. It gets changed.

I have had them go into the shipping process as early as Thursday (Drag Me to Hell) and as late as the day after the release day (recent release of Say Anything).
