cool. if they screw anything else up, call them. yesterday, a LIVE person answered on the first ring when i called, and very well trained at expecting any curve coming her way during this sale (even understanding and explaining my bank's actions). i personally think DDDs CS is better than ever BECAUSE of this sale period, ie they are gonna put people on the phones who can deal with crazed foaming at the mouth dvd consumers (me included). CS reps in the US too, not foreign.

since they've clarified the PM thing and sale terms, this sale seems much more civil on the forum. i'm sure they're reading the forum, but i bet they're staying away from posting because of the pirhana like stuff that happened with PMing last time. once DDDdave put himself out there, he got picked to the bone.

just a note to everyone...i'm not trying to fly the flag for this vendor, but be patient and if they screw up, give them some room to make things good. mistakes happen. it's their obligation to correct them. nothing seems to be going right with late night site crashes and no email confirmations, but looking at your order status page will give you SOME info about your order.

i'm getting a 3rd order ready before the sale ends on the 18th.

No shipping notice here. So I finally called them and asked them why nearly a week has passed without any change. The CR said it will ship today. I'll be really annoyed if I now have a bunch of stuff on backorder after so many others got their orders shipped quickly!

A word of caution about returning merchandise to DDD for refund or credit. I sent a DVD back after the last sale and they never received it, so I was out the $13 and change -- plus shipping -- because I had no proof. It still burns me to this day. So if you go this route, I would warn you to pay the extra $1 or so to get a delivery confirmation.

Has anybody done a tally of what the most bought items are like at the June sale? Could somebody post a quick copy of the most recent tally, please?

Why go through all the hassle? They will price-adjust your order if you call them...

Anybody enter a code when they check out and it takes it, then when you check the order status page later, the 20% discount isn't shown?

i think this was in reference to a different problem...if i remember the cart didn't remove some items when he entered 0 quantity (he should have hit REMOVE), that's why he'll have returns, he got duplicates.

i do a lot of business and ebaying and the lesson i've learned with shipping anything...
here here for DELIVERY CONFIRMATION!!!!

the site did this the other night.
i had to use the EMPTY CART command, restock and use a code i hadn't entered yet.
i couldn't just remove items down to no items, i had to blitz the cart entirely.

weird, yeah I ordered yesterday mid day, but the cart actually took the code and on the order confirmation page, the discount was showing, so I submitted confirm order. Then check the status page today and no discount. So I guess we have to take a screen cap now of the order confirmation just to make sure they don't switch it back to the regular price. Dang a lot of things this sale have really turned me off from it.

through the 18th, but usually it will continue to run through the next day or so. One year it went through the 21/22 I believe so let's hope it goes around again.

I'm having a senior moment . . . . If something is currently out of stock, can you still order it at 20% off and they'll ship it whenever it comes back in stock?
