Awesome, I was about to order from them anyway. I've had close to 30 bucks in credit sitting in my account for months there, that, for some reason, they wouldn't just refund back onto my debit card.

I'm kicking my self for this, I had to place 2 orders. as I got wrapped up in being able to pick up some of the reg dvds I needed for the wife and didn't realize I could do preorders.
The 1st order for 10 dvd's was $11.49 shipping +$4.45 tax (I'm guessing they must have a store here in MO.)
The 2nd order for 3 Blu's (10 discs) was $5.49 shipping +$5.07 tax.

Their prices on used tend to be a bit higher than secondspin for some reason. No cheap Rome or Deadwood on there.

The Outer Limits set is listed for $41.31 at Deep Discount; during their 20% sale it will be $33...seems to be a wash when you consider the shipping at wherehouse.com [same thing with Trial of a Timelord collection - at best you're coming out $1 or $2 ahead of Deep Discount's price during their sale, which wasn't enough of a savings for me to pull the trigger right now]. --Peter

Thanks OP - decent price on the Abbott & Costello complete set if you don't want to wait for the DD sale.

Though YMMV, I've found that the 20% off + free shipping dealio at SecondSpin is a better bargain than 30% off, but full-price shipping, at Wherehouse. Of course, this comparison only applies for used stuff. For new, I'd be interested in knowing how 30% off plus shipping compares to, say, DD's 20% off + free shipping sales.

Not trying to drive business away from Wherehouse, mind you. I'm just looking to fulfill my duty as a DVDTalker to help folks get the best bargains.

Secondspin apparently has free shipping on all orders now with FSS19. That actually might be cheaper than Wherehouse's 30% with shipping on some items.

No pre-orders and new items on SecondSpin though.

SecondSpin ship internationally.

Wherehouse doesn´t ship internationally.

The 30% off seems to work best for some pre-orders. Some of Wherehouse's pre-order prices for Blu-ray are pretty close to Amazon. Once they are not pre-orders the new prices tend to be much higher. As an example, I plan on getting James Bond Blu-ray Collection 2 and Dr. No Blu-ray. They are about $1.50 more expensive at Wherehouse with 30% off, including tax and shipping, than they will be at DD with 20% off their current prices. Based on past experience I expect Wherehouse will get them to me on or very near release day, whereas at DD I'd have to wait until the November sale and then about 10 days after that to receive them. So for $1.50 I'd rather get them a month earlier from Wherehouse. YMMV.

It costs twice as much to ship as they become available than in one package. I'm wondering if you have some pre-orders in your order, do they wait for those to come out to ship all together? Or do they ship the other stuff first, then the pre-orders and then charge you $3.49 for each pre-order, even though you didn't sign up for that.

The one experience I had, they split the order even though I specified ship in one package. They didn't charge any extra for that. I had 2 pre-orders in one week and 1 the following week. Come to think of it, the 2 in one week might have come separately too because I think one came from CA and the other shipped from FL. I'm not sure I would want to count on that though if the pre-orders were a month apart.

You also need to consider the possibility that DD will raise the prices right before the sale. I had a long wishlist of Blu-rays for the sale this spring, and ended up buying exactly zero from them because all the prices went up right before the sale. I'm considering waiting for the Godfather Blu-Ray set. In theory it will be about $48 during the November sale, but I'd bet the house that that will get jacked up by then so I just ordered from Amazon.
