I believe I used bml 90 day no pay at the past two Summer sales but I know it was not with the last November one and believe it was not with the Nov sale the year before. This led me to believe the 90 day thing was an summer event, I believe that I made some later orders both of those Summers as well.

I went back thru my posts, here's the straight dope:
I don't know when the DVDPlanet sale was announced but initially the DDD sale was to end on 11/18. DVDPlanet announces that from 11/18-11/26, they'll be running their own sale. At some point, DDD extends their sale to 11/23. So if this patterns holds true, if there in fact will be a DVDPlanet sale, it wouldn't hit until 6/15... PURE SPECULATION OF COURSE

Hey I'm from overseas i'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to put this however i will.
I'm trying to buy multiple dvds between $100-$250 but if i go over 250 the shipping charge jumps from 16.95 to 39.95. At the moment i'm trying to get dvds totalling $230. which is in the $100-250 range however it is trying to charge me 39.95 for postage but as far as i'm concerned it should be charging me 16.95 as i'm not going over 250 even including the shipping total. Is this just a computer fault and will be fixed at checkout or what?
Is there anyway to stop this?
Hopefully you understand what i mean.

I tried to place an order with about half of it being CD's and a couple of DVD's they list for July release. No discount except for the current DVD's, so I took out all the non-discounted items.
The sale does NOT include CD's or future release DVD's. I called them to verify this.

Has bill-me-later gone out of business? I just paid off a 60 dollar debt there and got a reply for it a day or two ago and now their site is down during the time I use them most. Be careful here.

Yep, several items on my wishlist have changed since the sale started. Almost all of them have gone down in price.

OK, I've updated the FAQ with the new info. I believe I've coverd everything except the question regarding Bill Me Later, which I'm waiting to see a definitive answer on.

I was able to use DVDTALK, USATODAY and NYTIMES. I tried to use the DVDPRICESEARCH code since I use there site sometimes, and no discount came off, so that one may not be working.
Edit: Just checked their site. Looks like the code is PRICESEARCH this time.

Hey just wondering if anybody could help me out.
This isn't really a question to do with the sale just a question on shipping...
I emailed it to deep discount but can't wait 24 hours for a response if i don't have to.
I ordered over $500 worth of DVDs to Australia.
Everything was in stock apart from a couple of things.
In total the shipping is 39.89 (the max you can pay)
I looked at my email today and they have shipped everything else apart from the stuff out of stock and they have changed me the full shipping price.
Will they charge me again for shipping or will shipping be free as i have already been charged for my total shipping?
If they are going to charge me again, how come? There was no option to wait till everything is in stock...?
Thank you!
Hope soemone can answer my questions asap.

And on the DVDtalk home page it says something to the effect of: Making the sale better this year DDD has added books and CDs.
