Because the 25% off sale is coming.

I used to order a LOT from these guys, but when they upped the shipcosts to Canada it just wasn't worth it to also have to pay duty as well...

Shit - my first bad transaction with DD...I'm six damn hours away from their location and It's taken twelve days from their shipping confirmation and STILL no package! Called customer service and the guy said to give it five more days and call back if it has not arrived. I always liked DD, but screw this. Like others here, Amazon will be getting my business from here on in.

I know free delivery means SLOW delivery, but c'mon man - six hours away and nothing yet?!

Sounds like it obviously got lost in the mail. Things sometimes take a few weeks to sort themselves out and get either delivered or returned to sender, this is the post office's issue and not DD's fault. DD is simply following the industry standard of waiting for that before they reship.

You'll get your item. This has happened to me with various companies several times over the years, and everyone should understand that things get lost occasionally.

First time in 6 years? I'd consider myself lucky.

The industry needs new standards. Fuck Media Mail. I always pay for the expedited shipping on DD. What pisses me off about them is items that are listed as in stock until you actually put them in your cart. Then all of a sudden they're backordered. WTF? Plus they never have a clue when an item will be back in stock. What is this, 1999? They should be able to keep track of their inventory. Hell, Amazon tells you when there's only a few of something left in stock.

DD's shipping was actually MUCH slower a few years ago, they didn't even ship things at times that were "in stock" for several days. But I'll never abandon them because those biannual sales are often the only times you can get a lot of small companies titles at a major discount, if only they'd carry more of them (they usually don't restock the small company releases once they sell out). I usually order almost exclusively the small company titles I want during the 25 percent off sales as a lot of times the major studio titles I want will be on sale at a better price at DD later in one of those "buy one get one free" deals.

I would never over expedited shipping at Amazon - it appears they now always send out things immediately anyway - including individually even if you aren't paying extra for that either - that extra postage is not worth getting the DVDs two or three days earlier to me.

It never ceases to amaze me that people will complain about free shipping. There is a reason it is free.

I have ordered a few items that say in-stock and then get the cancellation email. Go to the site and it still says in stock. Heck it still shows as in-stock today. I'll order it and get the cancellation email, about them no longer having the item. WTF?

Anyone hear yet if they're doing another sale this year? They usually do another big sale in November IIRC.

no one ever knows until it happens.

manicsounds · 11-03-09, 01:16 AM

If it's going to happen, it will be probably next week or so

Marvin · 11-03-09, 12:52 PM

Their summer sale was in July this year instead of June, so I don't know if that means the fall sale will also move back a month, or maybe not happen at all.

Anyone hear any rumors?

manicsounds · 11-04-09, 07:54 PM

Not a rumor, but a theory, since most of the current sales at DD will expire on 11/09 and 11/10, I''m guessing the sale will start on 11/11. So update your wishlists.

Yeah, whatever they do should last about 2 weeks and be over before Black Friday, so that makes sense.
