Since the new items release over a few weeks, I chose "ship as they become available" so I wouldn't have to wait on the earlier items. That kicked up the cost. It would have been about $11.

Between outrageous shipping charges and sales taxes, how is this such a good deal?

n.phelge

It is a deal for some pre-order box sets that are already discounted to a competitive price and then apply the 30% discount - for example, The Shield Complete Series works out to $89 with tax and shipping included. Also, some folks have trade-in credit for one of the other TWEC stores that can be applied.

Preorders are deal. For example, that is the cheapest place to find the Zorro Disney Treasures right now.

Ringmaster

Well I ordered some CD box sets yesterday for a pretty good deal. How is the Wherehouse when it comes to shipping? Are they as slow as F.Y.E. or are they pretty decent?

Calmuser

thanks, cheapest i've seen for pre-order of Farscape - the complete series!

RobCA

I'd say they're pretty good; I placed a small order using the THIRTYTHIRTY code the other day: a DVD that came out yesterday, and two CDs that won't be released for a few weeks. I chose the "send items together in one package" option, to save on shipping costs, and because I'm not in a hurry to get the DVD... but I just got an e-mail this morning that they've shipped the DVD.

BTW, I picked up:

TCM Greatest Classic Films Collection: Holiday $13.71
Glee: The Music, Volume 2 $5.85
Susan Boyle: I Dreamed a Dream $5.85

Total Bought: $25.41
Shipping: $5.49
Sales Tax (CA 9.25%): $2.35
Total: $33.25

Ringmaster

Weird. I must of missed the "ship together" option because the two box sets I bought were shipped separately. Shipping came out to about 4 bucks for both so I guess that's not too bad.

The new deal is good for American customers, but international is left high and dry again. Too bad, I used to order hundreds of dollars worth of stuff from Secondspin/Wherehouse every month, but lately I can buy things new rather than paying their shipping price.
