Thanks!

That boilerplate language on Warner Archive is intended for their DVDs, the bulk of which are DVD-Rs. They occasionally release pressed DVDs, but more often than not they are DVD-Rs.

Bullmoose wrote back. Their answer was they don't know.
I decided to bite, as I've only seen factory pressed WAC blu's also. They gave me free shipping at $29.94 & NO TAX!
I've seen 3 different ship dates: 1 day on the website, 1 week in the email they sent earlier (not the order email) & 2-3 weeks on the order email.

Do they usually send a your order has shipped email with a tracking number?

MooMooMooMoo

Order's already shipped. Thanks to the op on Bullmoose!

Arrived today (fast). Factory pressed. I wish Warner would remove their WAC blu MOD "bolier plate"

hariseldon

Certainly would decrease the confusion, but then they'd have to distinguish DVD vs BD lines and even DVD from other DVD sets even within the same title.
It would be better is more folks wouldn't assume Burned and MOD are the same thing, but I suspect that is long baked into the system

Maybe with more and more BDs being run through Allied Vaughn from multiple studios and the near elimination of BD-R from mainsteam lines, eventually that will eventually go away.

I can't imagine that a Factory Pressed disc (DVD or blu) is "Made On Demand". I'd like them to lose the "boiler plate" so one would know what one is buying.

I've wanted to get the FTC involved for years. Truth in packaging. I shouldn't need x-ray vision to know what's inside the shrinkwrap.

hariseldon

In this case -- 100% sure what's inside the package or at least 400 discs out of 400 so far assuming the choices are BD vs BDR

The promo says Noon CST so I'm not sure the exact endpoint. DD hasn't always been teh crispest at the on/off time of their codes so I never wait to the last minute with them anyway

I'm sorry to harp repeatedly on the same subject, but with Internet sales tax, this translates for me to a 4% discount; & only if I go over the free shipping threshold.

Wa state has the highest sales tax in the USA.

joltman

How does it translate to a 4% discount? Where can you buy the same thing without paying sales tax?
Maybe you should move to Delaware or Montana since sales tax is such a big deal to you.

DWilson

In my state, 15% at DD amounts to an 11% discount, while 15% at Barnes and Noble amounts to 8%.

joltman

Are you saying DD and B&N charge different sales tax?

BobO'Link

I'd guess it's like it is here. We have a local B&N so get taxed the combined state *and* local (city/county) sales tax rate - 8.5%. DD charges the state sales tax rate only - 6.5%.

DWilson

Deep states that they're charging .0423 ( at least in my state), and my best calculation (it's not stated) is that BN charges about 7%. BN also charges more than Target or Best Buy (in my experience).

MooMooMooMoo

Our sales tax rate is over 11% for most urban areas. If I could afford to, I would move. Unfortunately, I can't afford to move or pay sales tax. I am legally disabled and also working two just make ends meet.

Yes, some of us got spoiled by the net; but I don't pay shipping if I drive 2 miles to the local media stores (all of which are out of business due to the net), or the big box stores (all of which locally carry almost nothing in movies & music which as a single older person on a low income are the only real treats I allow myself). At one time I had a fairly large internet music & film business. Fortunately, it was all but dead before the current sales tax law, as it makes no sense to pay $4 shipping PLUS sales tax for 1 film or cd.

joltman

You didn't answer the question of how it translates to a 4% discount. The only way that would be applicable is if you could buy the same thing somewhere else without sales tax, but most if not all online stores now charge sales tax, so that takes sales tax out of the comparison. The only way it would make sense is if you're like one of the above people mentioned that different sites charge different sales tax.

Mr. Deeds Goes To Town is now $5.88. Pictured is the original 80th Anniversary Book version with Digital Copy but I wouldn't be surprised if they shipped standard version . The 80th Anniversary Book is selling for like $90 on Amazon used. Tough to find $25 worth of stuff to get free shipping . Shipping $1.99 plus tax. Still a good deal .

• Mr. Deeds Goes To Town (80th Anniversary Edition)
• (Anniversary Edition, Ultraviolet Digital Copy, Full Frame, Subtitled)

hariseldon

Makes no sense ti be selling for more than $15 anywhere since it doesn't appear to be OOP and is available at mutliple websites for $10-18 including Ebay

Also the 8oth Anniversary non digibook should include a Digiital Copy too

Of course I rarely underestimate the Amazon blind people who seem to think Amazon is a monopoly

Classic Films

You are correct. I updated original post. When I bought this when it first came out the digital code that came with the blu ray gave me SD instead of HD version of film. Never had that happen before with a digital code included with a blu ray. FYI DD has a separate listing for the non book blu ray for $15.84.
