Millennium: The Complete First Season

Millennium: The Complete Second Season

Millennium: The Complete Third Season

FeelingGreat

I just bought the 3 seasons of millenum. Total cost plus shipping cost $4.79 is $39.00 or about $13 per season. What annoys me is that shipping is charged. The oder exceeded $25 dollars right so how come shipping was charged.

was going to get the rome set using google checkout but now since shipping is charge, the price will be similar to getting over at dvdplanet.

FeelingGreat

Ok

I have a problem. I was able to use google checkout at buy.com. However, at DVDPlanet, there is a button to click for google checkout and when I press it, it doesn't allow me to log into google account. I get message saying your browser doesn't support google checkout, which is weird since I can do it at buy.com.

Can anyone help?

i'm glad someone else noticed that cause that really really pissed me off too...

i posted a bunch of cheap / FAR type fillers on page 3 of the thread, pair the seasons with that, and you'll end up with it for about $35 for the whole set (including shipping) after the rebates and you'll get a bunch of useless software

FeelingGreat

I think a lot people are pisse off at the way the pricing is done to achieve totals like $49.99 and forcing you to get something else too

Prison Break is back to $27 now... they're toying with us! So you can pair it with a $23 set again to save $20...

blaze1984

i think i've placed 7 orders with buy.com and 1 with DVD planet (at $10 off $30) since this $20 off $50 deal began... if i had just planned everything out and orgainized my order, i know I could've saved at least another $10 or so... instead, i started acting like a fat kid around candy, just trying to shove as much of it into my mouth as quickly as possible... apologies to all fat kids on the board

I'm 40 but a kid at heart - no offense taken

I still couldn't hold on to my money.

Bought Prison Break plus Firefly plus Dark City for $40.25 shipped. I would gladly pay $5 for Dark City. So that makes Prison Break and Firefly around $17 each. Better than Best Buy's BF deal. Nonetheless I hate buy.com. The way they played with the prices just makes me sick.

I'm curious about this too - the listing for each says they are eligible for free shipping, but I get charged $2.90 for one or $4.35 for two.

Yeah, I'm a little confused by the shipping charges. At my buy.com cart, it showed I had free shipping; but when I click on the GCO button, it automatically defaults to a drop-down menu of different shipping options; NONE of which are free.

I sent an email to Goggle inquirying as to why that is but have yet to hear a response. If I get a reply I will keep the board informed.

It does seem mysterious. Free shipping seems to come and go without any discernable logic to it.

Picked up the Controversial Classic Collection. (Advise and Consent / The Americanization of Emily / Bad Day at Black Rock / Blackboard Jungle / A Face in the Crowd / Fury / I Am a Fugitive from a Chain Gang). I never picked this up before because of the high price (even with DDD's current discount it's $46.04) and I never found it at Costco (which often has decent prices on these sort of boxsets).

With GCO $20 bucks off ... $34.06 delivered.

Regarding the shipping issues, I placed an order on Buy.com and while the method of shipping they used initially had a $5 or so tag, I justed changed it to the longer 7-9 expedited shipping which was free. I don't know the free shipping people are talking about is this or the $5 one.

ctyankee

They're talking about the occurrance of no option for free shipping at all

Shipping may be tied to price. I was charged $7.24 ("Budget" 7 to 9 business days) for Mary Tyler Moore seasons 2-3 and Bob Newhart seasons 3-4. These were sale priced at $14 per. Perhaps heavily discounted catalog items don't rate the free shipping.

Millennium isn't available with free shipping. Click on the item and it's not there. Buy.com tends to forget to take the symbol off the search results page, but if it's not there when you are on the item page, it isn't available. It's too bad.

All the national design pencils are now "currently unavailable". All the cheap $1 pencils are now "free shipping on orders over $75", which seems to be a brand new free shipping category created just for this sale.

kenbenobi

The $75 free shipping plateau has been around for a few weeks, at least. It's been a challenge finding free $25 shipping items for under $2 that are in stock...

aynrandgirl

It does make you wonder. What sane person would pay $2.50 to ship a $1.50 item? If they are successful in stopping people from ordering these items, which seems to be their goal, why carry them in the first place?

NCYankee

Thanks, that is what I thought the case might be - I guess the $2.90 shipping is tolerable with a great price like $18.00.

PapaSmurfie

Actually, the $75 free shipping has been around for a very long time...it applies to categories that are not music/dvd/cd/books....thus, it is best to find an item within this category as shipping from the other categories is also twice as expensive...

Okay, I finally got a response to my email pertaining to the shipping charges. I don't think it really answers the question as to why if you place an item with free shipping in your cart @buy.com; it WILL show NO shipping fee; but when you check-out with Google it does show a shipping charge. Anyway, with that being said, here is the response that I got from Google:

Millennium: Season 3 is now "On Order" which makes it ineligible for Google Checkout.

So I instead added Family Guy: Volume 3 to my cart along with the 1st two Millennium Season Sets:

I remember there used to be a site for Amazon.com purchases that would find items fitting a certain dollar amount. Sadly I've forgotten that site and don't know if there's one similiar to it for Buy.com. For me, I've been needing someting between $2-$4, and do remember are some cheap books, so if you're looking for that as well, search for "dover classics".
