Spent a lot during the last sale but outside perhaps a few cheap titles, I'm not spending too much this time around...

Just wanted to let everyone know that i will be doing a 3rd "Pick $50 worth of DVD's from DDD and win a prize!" Contest. I'll probably start it on Sunday or Monday. I've already got the prize pretty much decided but i'll adapt it to the winner. Hopefully Cameron and Space Monkey can come and defend their crowns. Anyone unfamiliar with this contest check out the link below.

Thread from the 2nd contest

I've tracked this at 28.xx for a long time now, and never saw a 20.xx price. There must have been some other sale that expired that I missed.

So I checked all 25 titles I have been tracking in consideration of getting during this sale - a mix of TV and movie selections. 7 or 8 are lower than a week or two ago, totalling maybe 7 or 8 dollars. Only one is higher, and that is The Simpson's 8th season. I will be skipping that one, but the rest are still good to go.

Check my wish list earlier, several were increased in price (LOST S2, Scrubs S4, Simpsons S8), just checked again those same titles went back to the lower prices.

Weird. My wishlist and the page with Simpsons 8th still show the higher price, but adding to my cart lowers it back to the same lower price I was tracking previously. Looks like it's coming my way after all.

So now I am left with ZERO selections that have gone up prior to the sale, and several that have come down.

People should expect titles like The Little Mermaid and X-Men 3 to get raised. I mean these titles were released weeks ago and were still at release week pricing. The fact that release week pricing went on for a few extra weeks doesn't mean raising the price back to normal for this sale is an conspiracy. It's just common sense.

A little bird told me some of those titles wil be very very cheap in a couple of weeks.

Shipping is EXTREMELY YMMV. Even talking to a DDD rep on the phone doesn't guarantee anything.

I have 43 titles in my cart and none of them have gone up or down.

Prisoner megaset jumped from $70 to $84. It has gone up and down over the past 2 weeks. I guess I just wont buy it at the $84 pricepoint. Oh well

Look at it this way, it's got 9 days or whatever yet to drop back down again before the sale ends. Keep checking.

Thats what Im hoping. I have a lot of other dvds to make up for it on the sale if it stay at $84.

Let's see... $70 previously, up to $84 which means $67.20 after discount. The only reason not to buy it would be because you have a lot of items to buy, and the $3 isn't that important at the moment.

Of course let's also remember that (if I'm not mistaken) The Prisoner megaset usually shows up in a lot of the A&E sales both at DDD and A&E.com, so there might be a better price than $67.20 coming up.

Yeah but $56 sounded alot nicer than $67. This item is just something I have had in my shopping cart for a awhile and $56 was a price I could not refuse. Im in no rush. I have a bunch of x-mas gifts to buy for people so I will be spending$$$ on the sale like normal. Usually the summer sale is for buying things for me, Fall sale x-mas gifts for others.

They can eat it for $36.60.

they just knocked a couple bucks off of friends - complete series and six feet under - complete series

nice.

Will it even matter if you make one large order or several small orders?

I don't believe so, at least if I'm remembering the discussion we had in the FAQ thread about it.

chowchris13: Yes, shipping to Canada is $5.95 for any shipment. You will get hit with $5 fee plus GST & PST if any order is over $20CAN. So add up the customs fee and shipping on a bunch of orders and it eats into the savings.
Spread the extra $5 fee and $5.95 shipping over one large order and the total will be way less than any seller in Canada and also no French on the cases. Compare even with DDD.ca and the prices are way lower at DDD.com.
One final point, my orders from the US are taking 3 to 5 weeks to arrive. All the customs guys are watching the Porn they confiscate so the backlog even before the rush season is longer than I've ever known it. Don't get excited if it's a long delay before it shows, it's not DDD's fault. It's just Canadian non tariff barriers, designed to slow trade by individuals with the USA.
