You obviously didn't read my post.

You had the wrong one the first time. You never indicated which UCE you had the 2nd time. You know there are 2 different ones, one with the statue (on sale) and one without (not on sale). From the sound of your post, it seemed like you grabbed the one without the statue. He only made the assumption based on what you wrote.

I went in, the tag was on the shelf for the 2 disc version *WRONG SET* (regularly like $39.99 or something), so I grabbed that and a few others and hopped in line. In line for about 15 minutes before I get to the register. The version I grabbed rang up full price. Stopped them there and told them there was a tag up for $10.99 right under it for Ben Hur. The guy in charge of the lines said, "I'm not discounting it." I told him I could grab the more expensive version that the website shows on sale really quick and he said "I'm not holding up my line" The cashier even looked it up on the website and it shown the more expensive one on sale. The supervisor guy said that it was clearly a mistake and that best buy wouldn't honor it. So, I paid for the other movies and went back for the ultimate collectors edition, went back to the supervisor and told him that this was apparently the one on sale and asked him if I needed to stand back in line or what. He looked at me and said yes. At this point the line was at least 3 times longer than the one I was just in so I went over his head.

I then grabbed the ultimate collectors edition,*if it didnt have a statue, again it was the wrong set* took it to the register in computers with one of the managers who punched in the sku and it came up $59.99, wouldn't type "Ben Hur" into the website to see the pic of the box set, the sku on the box came up with another edition.

I'll be back there later today to deal with them on this. I don't care which one I get, I just want a damn copy of the movie. I don't really need the extra packaging, just want them to honor the price on the shelf, or the website.

Picked up Weeds S5 + S6 on Blu-Ray tonight.

Odd thing was that S5 rang up $24.99 but S6 rang up $8.99. Had to bring over the Ad to the Associate to get the price change.

Still not happy with the way they handled it last night.

They had the tag on the wrong movie as well at mine, BUT if you clearly had read the tag you would see it show the MSRP of $69.99 on it which obviously referenced the figurine set and not the other versions they had in store.

Does Best Buy not have a good record with shipping out backorders? Because I'd really like the stuff I ordered.

They have a good record with me. Much better than going to the B&M stores and playing your odds with a semi-aware, semi-informed employee.

I hope they do. My Seasons 1 and 2 of Mad Men have shipped, but I got a notice that 3 and 4 went on back order.

Well, I hope they're better at shipping backorders than the B&M store I went to today is at pulling store pick up orders. I ordered several things online, and the store I go to near home did not have everything so I had to pick a couple up at the store near my work. I was there to pick up the Fast Five BR and Sons of Anarchy S3 BR. The guy came out of the back with the DVD for SOA and Batman Begins on BR :lol: Wasn't his fault, somebody else had pulled it. Thankfully they had what I needed in stock.

How long do they take to ship items? I ordered The Crow and Mimic on Thanksgiving and they did not ship yet.

It still says, "Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in 0 - 1 days."

I still haven't gotten more than half my orders. And still haven't gotten my machete order mixup fixed. It's definitely rekindled my passionate hatred for Best Buy

Re: Best Buy Black Friday ad

I had a backorder ship. Astroboy was one of them.

Best Buy CLEARLY did not have stock, and knew it. They took in the cash, and behaved like punkass jerks this time around. I don't think anyone cares how much stuck is on-hand, or if anyone even counts their stock these days. They just take an order, take the money, and if the product is not available from another seller...oh well. Fuck-you Mr. Online Buyer. We don't care.

When these guys go out of business, I will celebrate. Employees are a joke, are a waste of my time, and apparently even online orders are getting out of hand.

Best Buy is outsourcing much of their sales to "Marketplace Merchants". They are simply behaving like a typical eBay seller who can't make sales on their own credibility...trying to make a few bucks while advertising someone else's products on their website. This is a sign BB is desperate financially, and it's just a matter of time.

Re: Best Buy Black Friday ad

All I have left is Citizen Kane on backorder. Unlike Ben Hur, I hope I get this one since I don't have it. All my others that were backordered, have shipped.

^ I have a CK on back-order as well. I have a bad feeling we won't be seeing these. Seems like this was a true BB Exclusive, i.e., a limited run with no plans for wider distribution later, so when they're gone, they're gone....

Glad you guys got what you ordered. I don't care so much about Citizen Kane as much as I do about Mad Men.

Mad Men S4 arrived today.

I was lucky enough to get CK and BH-UCE on BF around 11:00 a.m. in store. No one in this podunk town was apparently interested in old movies.

Re: Best Buy Black Friday ad

Thankfully, I got Mad Men days ago butFast Five still hasn't shipped. Still, I'm pleased overall. The items were available for a long stretch of time (certainly longer than a Amazon lightning deal) and they had free shipping on any amount. It was a pretty good sale for me.

Also, interestingly, I just searched for “Citizen Kane” on the Best Buy website, and it’s not even showing a listing for that version of the BD. It does indeed appear it is now a deleted/discontinued item. I of course don’t know if it will still rematerialize at a later date at general retail. I would imagine the studio will do some sort of non-boxed set version of it at some point, but that of course could be a regular BD case as opposed to the “Digibook”-type packaging.
