Usually the relevant information is on the last page or next to last page. I'll begin a new thread when the post count reaches 750.

I just tried to place the order again. The coupon (SL4692) still works apparently, but now I'm being charged for shipping. So I opted to ship to a store for free. But then I get the error again!
She sent an email to customer service yesterday. No reply. This is ridiculous!

40% off list price of the "John Adams" DVD (good both online and B&M):
LINK
Note that list price online ($63.99) is $4 higher than B&M ($59.99), so it will be cheaper to get it at your local Borders (if you have one).

Just went to Borders specifically to buy Cranford with the 40% coupon. Instead, I left empty-handed after the manager started arguing with me at what exactly constitutes a box set. (she said that it has to be individual DVD cases, *each individually numbered?!*, inside a box) She then started trying to convince me that $30 was a great deal on this set (which sells for $26 on amazon.com and much less on DD with the current sale).
If they want to be that picky about it, then the coupon needs to explain it.
Whatever. Lost sale.

I'm a little confused about this. Do I need to make a $10 dollar purchase, and then I get 30% off another item, or do I get 30% off the first item, as long as it's over $10?

30% off one item (highest price one) with total purchase price of over $10.

If you want a book that's $8.95, just buy something else for $1.05 (they have all sorts of little candies at the checkout counter) and they will still take the 30% off the $8.95 book.
Also, I'm sure it depends on the store, but my local Borders will let you use the coupon if the total is over $10 with sales tax, even if the book is only $9.95.

Cranford is considered a box set in our system...

Not to threadcrap at all, but what happened to you isn't just a local problem. Apparently Borders is losing their flavor for coupons.

EDIT: I just tried it and it wouldn't work. Borders seems to be slow with their site. It took a few days for the $19.99 Blu-Rays to actually show up as $19.99 in the cart. Since the coupon is good through 6/22, I would try again in a day or two.

Plus I went to another store the day after and used the coupon to no problem. I guess I'm just taking down Borders one purchase at a time.
