Is this meant to be in the DVD CLUBS forum?

I don't think it should be in the Clubs forum. I condsider dv2 more as a store. You do pay $9.95 to join but you get a dvd for joining. Then it is just like shopping at a store with free shipping and great bargains. I believe that if it was in the dvd clubs forum, people would miss out on these deals. How many would have missed getting V: the Complete TV series for $19.99 if I had posted it in the Clubs forum? I never visit that section.

This belongs in the CLUBS forum.

PEACH

It's only half a club imo .. from what I read you can cancel any time..you aren't required to buy anything ..but you pay a membership fee..I think it can stay here and not in the clubs forum..

U da boss.

PEACH

nice smily you have there peach

I think it would help some people if they had a link to shop there. Here's one: Columbia House DV2

I'll stick with the regular CH club myself, much better deals!

These bargains aren't exclusive to DV2 as far as I can tell. They're also available for $5.95 in the regular DVD club (perfect to use for free shipping).

You're required to by one additional DVD within one year.

No matter which forum this thread belongs to, I suggest we work with the OP to keep it alive. Please post new found bargains ASAP just like the ~$6 bargain DVD thread.

By the way, someone has told me that there is no quantity limit on each title a member can order during a full membership year period. Can anybody confirm if this is TRUE? Thanks.

I am tempted, can someone give me some quick info.

The DVD at membership, can it be an expensive one, or is there a list to choose from?

What is funcash?

Someone that is a member elaborate on why it is worth it.

Thanks

There is an annual access fee of $9.95 and you're required to by one more DVD (any dvd regardless of the price) within the first year. However, you do get a free DVD with signup so the first year's access fee is almost negated.

All DVDs are suppose to be discounted atleast 40% or more and you always have fee shipping.

Here's a quick blurb from the CH website:

For one example, V: The Complete Series is on sale at CH DV2 for only $19.99, but DDD has this listed for $29.99. In this one example you have already save ~ $10.

It all varies from title to title though and some are slighty more expensive than at other stores.

Take a look at
CH DV2

I believe that it is worth it because once you pay your $9.95 you have access to prices that usually beat all other online stores with free shipping always and no commitment and no getting unwanted shiments. You have to buy one dvd before you can cancel but the dvd can be any price.

Funcash: You get funcash with every order. At least $2.00 in funcash with every dvd purchased. They have certain times during the year you can redeem it. The current period runs until the end of the year. Funcah redeemed on dvds less than 3 discs get applied to the msrp so it really isn't worth it. DVDs with 3 discs or more and the funcash is applied to the club price! I hve gotten Smallville Season 2 for $18.99 and That's Entertainment set for $15.95 using funcash. I sometimes have trouble getting my shopping cart to reflect the correct funcash price, so I just call or email them and they place the funcash order for me.

I am not sure if there are limits on purchases. I have emailed them to find out. Their phone number is 1-800-262-2001

Thanks, I will look into joining tonight. Sounds like even if you don't like it, it will not set you back much. I can find at least one of the freebies I want and several on the $5.95 list. I like TV on dvd so funcash could have potential. Appreciate the post. I also think this is a good thread to have in this forum. I am not much on columbia House because of the hassle, this is more like a normal store.

ah..that's not to terrible

didn't know that though (haven't actually read all their little terms / etc)

Baadasssss! $14.98
Young Adam $14.98
King of Queens Season 1 or 2 $23.97

The 2 Disk SE Civil War movie, GLORY, is only $11.97 from DV2. This is an extra good deal since the lowest other online price I could find was at DDD for $22.06. For some reason, DV2 has the list price of this movie at only $19.95 but they did send me a copy for 40% off that low list price.

Edit to add- forgot to say that DV2 charges tax for Ohio so the total deal to get it shipped was $12.87 (90 cents tax)

How do they decide what states pay tax? My shipments go to Maine and I do not have to pay tax.

I obey.

PEACH
Most of the time heh heh.

The Office - Christmas Special (preorder) - $14.99.

That worked last night, but today they've added language that says "Sale Price $5.95 with a regular price purchase" -- the 3 titles in my cart all went up in price (to 3-for-$25) because I had no full-price title. Rats.

Is it correct to assume the cheapest method of fulfillment is approximately $15 per dvd ($9.95 to join and having to buy atleast 1 $19.95 title bringing it to $30 for 2 dvd's)?

Or is the dvd one has to purchase to fulfill not limited to $19.95 titles or above?

Can you do preorders? Anyone know what they will be charging for TV sets like seinfeld, smallville S3, simpsons S5 and Invader Zim?

Thanks,
-Kyle
