I've heard some mixed things about the seller. price is really good though. Any thoughts? They aren't going to sign me up for some kind of Columbia House type thing, are they? Also, mod, feel free to change the link's referral ID or whatever.
Thanks

I'm very tempted to pick this up for this great price but I am worried about customs charges since I'm in the US. For those others that have previously ordered from this vendor and shipped to the US, did you have any problems?
Thanks.
Thanks.

I've never had a problem with DVDSoon on about 6 orders. However they can be slow getting items that are not in stock, and they charge your credit card immediately on all orders, including pre-orders. I would suggest doing more research on them before deciding to take the plunge and placing an order. Here is the most recent DVDSoon thread in the store forum discussing some of their policies that may help you.Originally Posted by chente

This seems like a misprice, and in my experience with DVDSoon, the way they get out of misprices is taking your money and leaving the item on order forever.
I placed an order for Zelda: Four Swords for the GameCube in October and it is STILL on order. I've called them multiple times, but they tell me the "distributer says it is out of print. And if it goes back into print, the distributer says it will be a good six months before we'll get any." It was a new game back then and is still very much in print!
Also, they give refunds in store credit. You have to call to get your CC refunded.
Proceed with caution.

I'm not trying to scare anybody away. I am an Fidelity iCard member, and I think DVDSoon is good in general. They beat other etailers by a couple dollars on a lot of things. I just try to stay away from things that I know will probably be "on order."

I have used DVDSoon a LOT.
I'll be the first to say this about them:
If you want your DVDs RIGHT NOW... you don't want to order from them. They often times have the best prices for stuff, but it can take weeks (even months) to get your order... but you WILL get it. Personally, I have a huge backlog of titles to watch, so I can wait... but if it's a title you've got to have THIS INSTANT, this isn't the retailer for you.
I have ordered at least a dozen times from them, and I have always been pleased with the prices and the products. I've just accepted that if I order from them it may be a while before I get it.

I do not believe this is a mis-price, as the individual titles in the box are on sale for 9.98 each.

That would only be the cost for 4 of the movies then, not including another movie and the extra bonus features disc. I REALLY want to order this but don't want to get dicked over. I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two but anything more would irk me as well as their whole loophole with not giving you a refund unless you call the credit card company.Originally Posted by raining_helper

I just ordered this and Dead Like Me Season One with the 10% off. Both are "on order". I'm patient and willing to take a shot, thanks to the OP for the heads up!Originally Posted by litza
Just ordered mine as well. Did anyone get a shipping confirmation yet? Or is this an "on order" item?

I ordered one. This set is still listed at $70-80 atmazon and ddd. I have never had to wait more than 2 months for a dvd there. I have no complaints about their service (other than the wait) and have placed about 8-10 orders there. Thanks OP!

E.g. all the Warner Boxsets (Classic Comedies, Film Noir, Hitchcock, Gangsters, Musicals, etc)

Well according to the other post the people who ordered will get jerked around now for awhile, so it may not have been a bad thing. I know I don't want to punch myself for missing this as of yet, hopefully someone can keep us posted.Originally Posted by Dabaomb
I thought that this was a price drop. I knew that I should've ordered this
