Strange. Coconuts and FYE are the same company and presumably ship from the same location.

I guess I got lucky that mine arrived with the easily removable sticker.

are you sure it's the UPC price sticker? The one that's the price sticker with the UPC bar code?

Or is it an actual sticker with another UPC on top of the original UPC on the back of the coverart?

It is a UPC bar code sticker along with the ISBN #. The UPC matches the one that is printed on the box, there is no price.

It was on the shrink wrap, on the bottom of the package right near where the UPC printed on the box is located

hmm, that's totally different than the UPC price sticker that can be found at B&M stores.

I haven't seen the UPC that you speak of on any sets that I've seen (Best Buy, FYE, Sears). However, I don't doubt you at all. I think that you lucked out with your UPC sticker that you got.

I know our Walmart re-UPCs their DVDs or at least the big releases from my observations.

amazon.com shipping time

What was the avg shipping time from amazon for the Star Wars DVDs on pre-orders? I'm trying to gauge whether pre-orders for Return of the King EE DVD will arrive before Xmas. Thanks.

I got mine on the Tuesday release day. Lately I've been getting my shipments a day or two later, though.

I get this notification today from Rebates HQ regading my FYE.com rebate:
We apologize for the misunderstanding, but your rebate is invalid because the store you purchased this product from does not honor this particular promotion. A postcard acknowledging your invalid reason will be mailed to you.
WTF? I sent them the rebate form from the FYE website! Anyone else get this notice?

Thanks for the help, I will call them tomorrow.

In the meantime, I emailed them and they told me that my rebate for said Coconuts and I bought at FYE. I clearly remember this being true. the FYE website gave me a Coconuts rebate form.

Being that they are the same company, I didn't give this a second thought and I mailed the sucker in.

Now I fear that I am f'ed with this one.

So I wrote to Parago:
Coconuts and FYE are the same company! The FYE website was the one that gave me the Coconuts rebate form
They surprisingly answered back:
Thank you for your rebate inquiry. You are a valued Transworld Entertainment consumer, so we are pleased to inform you that we have updated your record. Your rebate submission is now valid. You should receive your rebate per the terms and conditions listed on the coupon. Note that the check is remitted in the form of a postcard and will not arrive in an envelope.
I can't believe this problem was easily solved.

I can - Parago is a very reasonable company to deal with.

for Parago. Never have had a problem with them and whenever I have, a phone call and possibly a refax of my copies have fixed the problem.

Got my Star Wars $15 rebate today. Thankfully, Prago was so understanding & honored their acceptance of a UPC copy - can you imagine, having to actually CUT my box???
