I received two of my orders today and the one with Viridiana (CC) and Pasolini's Accattone was screwed up. The invoice shows my choices but the box contained The Bostonians and Animaniacs Vol. 1. Ugh. Now I have to get Buy.com to correct this.

My Nip/Tuck Season 3 DVD set is on backorder for some reason. grrr....

On the DVD description page, it says that it is in stock. I wonder if my order got screwed up somehow. I don't understand why that would be on backorder...

That's quite the swap. Although I bet, if you tried hard enough, you'd find some Buñuel in the Animaniacs.

I doubt that one can get a kickback on top of google checkout, since checkout handles the payment directly.

Damn. I was hoping to pick up My Name Is Earl and the Office S2 (US) on the cheap, but it looks like they raised the prices on those a few days ago. (Some reported getting them for around $21 and $23 respectively.) Oh well. Money I probably shouldn't spend anyways. However, I did order Newsradio S4 and Huff S1 for about $26, so all is not lost. Thanks OP!

I already got my rebates from my buy.com orders!

At 2% I would have gotten back a little over $3.00

I don't understand...you got your rebates, but didn't get them?


Also, many TV set were raised yesterday: e.g., newsradio s3 and s4.

Finally, I can't seem to get non free shipping DVDs to ship free when other free shipping items were included...but yesterday, I could do this.

EDIT: it might have been that I didn't go all the way to the final screen before, and it really never worked...?

This seems like too much work. Do I set up an account with Buy.com or with Google?

And how come the price shown on Froogle for South Park S8 from Buy.com is not the same as the price of it when you actually go to Buy.com?

It's just Google. I didn't even set up an account with Bestprices. The whole point of Google Checkout is to be able to set up a single account with Google and then shop wherever without an account for each site.

I got my rebates at 1% not at the 2% special ****** was running on Tuesday, so instead of getting a check for over $3.00 I'm getting one for $1.50.

I tried using Google Checkout for the first time today on Buy.com, but it wouldn't connect so I could finish my transaction. I am logged into my GC account when I try, but it gives up after a few seconds when I try to checkout and my browser gives me an error message that I could not connect. I tried IE and Firefox, but I get the same problem. I suppose the same would happen if I used Opera. Is anybody experiencing the same problem?

check out soem of the earlier posts by DrPrimo, myself and some others that mention some ways to make it work. Several had gotten the same or similar problems. One took around 12 times to finally work.

Its sometimes is just matter of time and hitting the BACK button and/or REFRESH until getting there.

Like if you are already signed in and when checking out shows you are (email is already filled in and you can only enter password), DrPrimo suggested hitting BACK at this time to get to the final checkout. Took a few tries but worked for me. I thank DrPrimo again. atleast 5 orders and counting - receive most if not all by now, too.

Hollywood's Masters of Horror is $21.99 at Cd Universe. They take Google checkout as well:

Edit: Looks like you have to pay shipping though, so not that great a deal after all

Thanks! I tried again - well over a dozen times with Firefox, but it wouldn't go through. Right when I decided to give up, I tried IE one more time and it worked. I don't think browsers should really figure in, but if anybody else has this problem, using to IE to check out might help.

I've found so far that anything ON ORDER or PRE-ORDER, the Google checkout won't work. Too many of you ordered Seven Samurai so I can't get it. Bastards!

For me the problem was connection speed not browsers. Neither IE nor Firefox worked because I am on a slow modem and the attempt to connect to Google Checkout would time out. When I tried broadband at the local library I was able to place orders without a hitch.

Once Justice League Unlimitted Season 1 and Batman Beyond Season 2 are in stock, Buy.com will have an awesome deal on them using Google Checkout.
