Thanks to both of you.

I wondered if they even offered a FS version. (I hate Fullscreen.)

Engel07 What is this 25% coupon you speak of?

I looked up my coconuts order and they placed a link to the rebate form.....damn, I too think they won't allow the rebate to go through. I wonder if they list the ship date on the packing slip or the order date? Since they've never been able to acutually "ship" out an order to me...I don't know the answer.

UPDATE: I spoke with a CSR, he said qualifying date of purchase is when the credit card is charged. That means that when the item is shipped and our cc's are charged is the date of purchase.

As we all know, this is one person and he could be wrong...that it could be the date we provide the cc info and place the order is the date of purchase. I still wanted to pass this info on to you. As always, this is at your own risk and YMMV...yadda,yadda,yadda

Just a question of what the packing slip has for date. Reads really weird. I guess we shall see.

The reason I asked about packing slip is that could also serve as the receipt for rebate purposes, so for those wanting to know if they qualify for the Trans Entertainment rebates (and order w/Oct coupon) when the date of purchase needs to be in Nov-Dec.

The rebate form says:

2. coconuts.com order confirmation email and packing slip dated 11/1/04-12/27/04.

I read that as the email also has to be dated no earlier than 11/1/04, else why even say it? There is no way there would be a shipping date that early.

Thanks for the info I'll send the rebate in, it'd be nice to get $7 back.

he was referring to a coupon you can "win" from the amex my wishlist site... it's a bit hard with all the cheaters though lol

The rebate requires cutting the UPC off the nice LOTR:EE sturdy case. Ouch!

Btw, why would they want an order confirmation email AND the packing slip? Isn't the packing slip good enough to prove that you ordered it from them?

It would have been nice to get $7 back, making the EE only $9.99.

If I remember correctly on the back of the case there's a piece of paper that's stuck onto the back via that sticky stuff. I believe that had a UPC on it.

I just checked my status and it said was being sent to the warehouse, so maybe I'll get it next week.

"I'll send the rebate in, it'd be nice to get $7 back."

Thanks...

What is STL, and A9 ???.

STL is Share The Love. I'm not sure what the A9 is.

A9 is Amazon.com's Search Engine. If you do a search using A9, you'll get a Pi/2 Discount (1.57%).

Wow, Coconuts just shipped my LOTR EE! That was quick...

I don't think I'll even bother with the $7 rebate, unless I don't have to cut anything out of the packaging. Technically it can be read that the order confirmation email is independent of the packing slip part, i.e. only the packing slip must be dated 11/1-12/27.

Same here I have a USPS tracking number, unfortunately it hasn't updated yet to show where it's being shipped from. Does anyone know where they ship from?

I also have a tracking number for my ROTK EE. And quick it was, especially after reading a lot of complaints from suncoast customers who said preorders were shipping weeks after their release date. I got it cheap ($17.84 shipped) and my preorder shipped early. I can't ask for anything more.

Mine still says Processing.

it may have shipped, but I think that Coconuts.com ships snail mail. Their stuff takes forever to arrive. Just like at what happened with Seinfeld.

Best price on Extended Edition 3-Pack?

TIA.

As of last night, STL was still not working for me

I couldn't agree more. I got in the LOTR:ROTK $17.xx deal, but expect little from them. They dropped my Seinfeld orders due to "unexpected demand," even though they were in stock and available. They oh-so-helpfully recommended cancelling and re-ordering, but of course without the 15% off, free shipping, and not in time for the $20 total in rebates. I have had two other orders with them previously and both had problems to some degree as well, neither of which were resolved satisfactorily.

Coconuts is easily the worst online site I have ever dealt with. Their customer service is non-existent. Regardless of whether or not I ever see LOTR:ROTK from them I will never purchase from them again, and I recommend to anyone else who will listen the same.

It bears repeating: Coconuts.com: Worst on line retailer. Ever.

Well Coconuts got it right for once. My ROTK EE shipped out today. $17.84

Still based on past experience, I won't be shopping at Coconuts or any of it's affiliates ever again. Had pretty much the exact same ordeal as Bill Needle describes with a preorder. Another preorder they cancelled out of the blue. When I inquired why it was cancelled they said the item wasn't in stock when i placed my order. Umm... its a preorder!?!?!
