The tax, I would understand. The shipping, no way!

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

The Vincent Price blu ray collection is $38.66. The site is out of stock but they are still taking orders. This is the lowest i've seen the set sell for. I'm not counting the "Movie-Mars" fiasco.

Pretty low of Amazon to try to screw me twice with last minute shipping charges, but thankfully I've learned the empty CC ploy on preorders which I'll continue to use until they take that away too. I hope The Jungle Book BD will be cheaper somewhere else since I lost my $5 coupon. I guess there's always a DMC enrollment.
This happened to me once (regarding the shipping). I contacted them, and they credited me for the shipping. As for tax, like someone else said already, it's a state law to charge it at the time of the transaction. Nothing you can do about that. My state just started charging tax on Amazon 5 weeks ago. I buy more from BB now, since I get rewards points. If I'm no longer saving the tax, I no longer have as much of a benefit to buy from Amazon, when the price is the same. They'd have to actually beat the price.

Might be better suited to the "complaining about Amazon" thread. Honestly, I don't know why you still bother.

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Probably an unpopular opinion considering the lengths that some will go to try to get a little $5-$10 off of a purchase, but Amazon Prime makes up its cost with just a few purchases a year. I make probably 10-20 purchases a year minimum, so it's worth it. And if one is a student, it's free.

So, I guess I just don't get it. Spending a lot of time and effort to save a few bucks is fine, but only if your time and effort aren't worth anything.

There's a ton of time and effort that the previous poster has already spent trying to save a few bucks at BB and Amazon. Although this time, I agree with him, the shipping thing is pretty crappy.

I've had something like that happen in the past when I've preordered multiple items and Amazon split the shipments, then charged shipping on the latter shipments. Fortunately, a quick e-mail has generally been enough to get them to refund the shipping charge.

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

I placed an order for a BD back in Aug. on my card that(like others) eventually got comprised. At the time there was a $5 off promo that I used towards this order. I did not think to change the type of payment on the order until late last week. Once I corrected that with my current card, the $5 promo disappeared. It was also charging me for shipping despite the original order being over the then $25 fsss threshold.

It took two emails, but they adjusted the price. Luckily I still had a couple of days left on my free Prime trial, so I was able to fix the shipping issue without emailing CS on that.

Came here to post this. Been checking this set everyday to see if Amazon offers a good deal. This is one of their matching the lowest marketplace seller deals. I ordered it. Delivery estimate is Jan. 3-7.

Not to mention the fact he's trying to circumvent Amazon's system by using expired credit cards. He sounds like exactly the type of person that has way too much time on his hands.

Don't you have prime now? You can go back and change any pre-orders to free 2-day shipping

You mean they don't retroactively go back through all of your pre-orders and automatically update them to the 2-day free shipping when you upgrade to Prime?

The nerve of this company! I'm never shopping with Amazon again.

Yes, I have Prime now, but these orders were placed before that in another family member's account which doesn't have Prime.

Now that I think about it, I remember reading people say in times past that you can share Prime with other people, so I should've probably done that, but I didn't think about it at the time. I'm hoping there will be other deals on The Jungle Book locally. I mean who would've thought I'd get The Lone Ranger BD for $12, but that deal showed up at the last minute. I'll put looking into sharing Prime on my monstrous to-do list, but as I'm always running short on time (we all know why) I'm not sure when I'll have time to investigate how to share Prime or more importantly if there are any negative repercussions doing so. Probably not, but I prefer to check first.

It's good to see that Amazon is taking care of the shipping charge on preorders for those this has happened to. I posted because I didn't see anyone else mention it and I was surprised Amazon would do this.

You have an issue with EVERY place you buy from. You need to just stop buying altogether and go live in a bubble or something, like Jake Gyllenhaal in that one movie.

Updated for me.

And back on track for the thread...

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Season One [Blu-ray] $43.99

Not quite the lowest ever at Amazon, but pretty close.

Dude, why are you being all weird? That's what happens when you try to game the system. You get screwed. Expired CC's on other people's PRIME account, etc. My head fucking hurts from all of that drama.

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Went ahead and bought Nikita season 3 a couple of days ago for $26.49. Could have probably held out longer for sub $20 pricing, but it's a matter of personal preference and I like the show enough to support it for that price.

re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray

Just got Clash of the Titans Blu-ray book and it was pretty beat up. I usually wouldn't care about a case because I only put a select few on the shelf and this is one of the select few being a Bluray book and all.
