Just remember that if Amazon has shipped by UPS, they can recall a package at any time prior to delivery. Some businesses have done that before on price mistakes that shipped out very quickly, though I can't recall if Amazon has done it.

Their shipping methods for Prime service tend to allow the first wave of orders to go through, while often canceling the orders that don't ship out immediately.

I'm guessing there's also a job opening at Amazon available. ;)

Glad people are getting their orders! I wasn't fast enough to be on this, but I've managed to get some glitch orders over the years, so am not complaining.

Now where is the self-righteous, moral indignation from all those who missed out on this deal? LOL.

I just told my wife about the deal (she was asleep when it went down) and she asked, "Why didn't you buy all the titles that were a $1?"

Fan-fucking-tastic. Here I was thinking I was going to get judged when 16 random Blu-rays arrived and I could've bought all 60+ and been fine. :lol:

Care to swap wives? Mine has worked in retail forever and almost always takes the retail side over the customer when glitches or similar incidents like this happen.

Man. That's one way to burn through stacks of overstock.

Plus you don't need a note on your account that you're one of those guys that goes off on rants because he didn't get in on a price mistake. The next time you need to try and win favor from Amazon, things like that never help.

I tried being a nice guy seeing about if he can honor a couple of prices or something, but nothing. One bad note out of a dozen isn't bad.

It's been known to happen.

And is usually followed with a rant about "entitlement."

I just hope this doesn't become the "Big Lots" standard of future BD deals. :)

Ordered a bunch of stuff last night. One title I missed out on was Major League. There was only a five minute window to order that one after it was first mentioned on the other forum. It had jumped to $10 by the time I clicked on it.

There were a couple other cheap titles that didn't show up on the price tracker (Rango, The Ring). People only mentioned those after the deal was dead. There was barely any time to browse around and I got my order in just under the wire.

Cant believe I missed out on this, but I'm glad to see it was dead before I woke up anyway. Congrats on those that had their orders ship. Probably the deal of the year (so far)!

Damn. I was fast asleep and totally missed out on this. It looks like there was some damn good titles included, too!

Damn it! Can't believe I missed out on this. Congrats to all who got their orders shipped!

I'm seeing far more people saying their orders shipped than were cancelled. That's surprising. I guess there must not have been enough people getting in on this deal to bother Amazon enough to go on a cancel spree like they always do when I've ordered any price mistake item. It's strange how they were OK letting $9.99 BDs go for $1, but when I ordered all those CDs long ago they couldn't let $6.99-$9.99 CDs go for $2. I think they tend to let price mistake Prime orders ship, and I rarely have Prime which might be a lot of the reason.

I assume everyone who had their price mistake BD orders shipped already had Prime? Or said the opposite way, did anyone who did not have Prime get his price mistake BD orders shipped?

kenbenobi 05-02-13 10:09 AM

Re: $1 Blu-rays at Amazon
 
^ I think it's cuz most people who ordered had Prime. Anyone without Prime would have plenty of time to be canceled. Just another reason Prime is worth it...

I've had one title ship with FSSS, but the rest haven't even enter the shipping stage.

So how long before we see eBay flooded with these titles, from resellers who bought in mass quantity?
