Instock again at Wal-Mart. Just ordered

got mine. Anybody know why this says delivery time between 03/08 and 04/24. That is a big spread.

I don't get the point to ordering via price match. Unless they BEAT the price, (and assuming the service is the same) what's the difference? price matching at circuit city or best buy at least gets you an extra 10% back.

For many people, Walmart(and others) are objectionable entities. We'd rather give money to other businesses.

DDD gave it to me for $19.86. The price-matching e-mail said they would be the cost (including shipping) by ten cents. The CSR asked for the e-mail # but then also asked me how much the item was, and gave it to me for $19.86 without the cost of Wal-Mart's shipping. I'm guessing she didn't even look at what the e-mail said, so why'd she ask for the #?

I ordered this at the end of Jan for 34.99 at Amazon (stupid, eh? ... ) and they just refunded me the $15 difference because I asked. Woohoo ... I still love Amazon.

My Walmart.com order arrived in perfect shape! But they did use a padded envelope.

Thanks again Geminix for posting this deal!

(It's currently in stock again at Walmart.com for $19.75.)

My Firefly order from walmart.com came today in perfect condition. It was actually in a box and not a padded envelope.

Nevermind, I just remembered I ordered it from DDD...


Also, the Amazon price is up to $24.96, so that was a quick reduction, lol.

I just watched Serenity and thought it was decent enough that I might try to watch the Firefly episodes, but since Amazon chose to raise the price from $19.86 to $24.96 right before I could order, I guess I'll pass. Too bad DDD only offers it for under $20 via begging and luck in email instead of their normal price, and buying at Walmart.com would cost more than $20 with shipping. I have a rule about not paying more than $20 for any season of a TV show, and the only time I've ever violated that on The Simpsons.

I do think Serenity is an even better film if you've watched the Firefly series previously. One nice thing about the series is that there wasn't a need to define all the characters and flesh out their backgrounds in a two hours span. I think Serenity did this very well but there's a more relaxed feel to the series. When you do finally watch the series you'll probably want to watch Serenity again as it does close out the series nicely.

You might want to reconsider a price match with Deep Discount DVD. My one experience doing that with the Star Wars trilogy set was pretty painless. I sent them an email asking if they could match another online seller and I included a link to the item. They emailed me back an approval pretty quickly. My only caution with DDD is that they sometimes ship in form-fitting cardboard boxes without any padding. I have received a couple of floating DVDs in my DDD orders.

Another option might be to check out your local public library. That's what I did inititally.

Received mine today in perfect shape from WallyWorld! Thanks Op!

Received mine on Friday from Walmart, in a cardboard box, in perfect condition. I started watching on Saturday. I'm 3 episodes in, and already hooked! What an awesome show! To the poster a few threads up, I'd make an exception to your $20 rule for this one. Definitely worth it. And afterwards, you can recoup most your $$ on Fleabay...

Since WMT is out of stock yet again, I couldn't get a shipping cost, but someone else said it would be around $2.47 which would make it about $1 higher than if it were $20 + tax locally. So, if I got DDD to pricematch they would charge me $19.75 + $2.47 shipping and no tax? I guess I could live paying that extra dollar, but I assume the item would have to be in-stock at WMT at the time DDD got the email?

I hate having to watch for an item to be in stock before sending an email, so I probably won't bother. I'll check this thread occasionally, but otherwise Firefly will remain on my list to get when I see it for $20 + tax or less. I've seen too many TV series sell for under $20 + tax to budge very much on my rule. Firefly is something I can be patient on. I still have plenty of Seinfeld and Everybody Loves Raymond seasons to watch (all bought for $10-$18 + tax per season).

If you order from DDD, you can save the sales tax (except for Ill I think).
