Okay I guess the folks @ buy.com are a little screwed up! I recieved my order from them last week and sent it back for a refund with the RMA info they provided. Just now got another package in the mail from them and it was another 3 stooges Ult. set. Still only charged for 1!!! Will have to check into this but if it goes by without a charge I will have a set to sell cheaply to someone! ...To be continued...

Seems incredibly reasonable to me. You have to expect some limitations on tiny orders, especially for a smallish company.

Mine arrived from BB yesterday incredibly well packed. A slight ding on the box which must have been there from the start. I can live with it.

I suppose I could save myself the four dollars tax I spent, return this one to BB and buy it from Amazon but not sure it's worth the hassle.

As for the bonus features packaging, I'm going to put the discs in double sided sleeves and store them in the original case. Problem solved.

The Man with the Golden Doujinshi

I'm still waiting on my pre-order since I live in some sort of anti-mail part of the state. It started off in Washington, went down to southern California, then Arizona and now it's back in California. Based on where it's at now and how USPS typically operates, it'll then make it's way back up to Washington, Federal Way to be exact, before getting to southern Oregon.

My dilemma too, especially as I have a bunch of Amazon credit. However, I think I'm not going to bother because I am getting tired (and probably BB too) of when I buy something at BB.com having Amazon or Target have it cheaper a week later and then returning it to BB. I've never had any return troubles at BB even though there is supposedly this unknown magical return limit, but $4 and change is probably not quite worth it. Soon Amazon will charge tax in every state and then I'll be saved from this struggle. Like I said earlier, too bad Amazon usually waits days or weeks after the fact to match prices (after I've already ordered from the other source) instead of doing it right away.

My Other Self

I returned two items in the past year to Best Buy and they said I only had one left. I think it's kind of weird they scan your driver's license when they take your return anyway.

Trevor

With or without receipts?

Does the UC contain the glasses needed to watch the two 3-D shorts in Volume 7? Just wondering, as my Volume 7 (bought singly, not in the UC) didn't come with glasses.

dlbsyst

Yes.

My Other Self

With. I didn't think they'd ever accept returns without receipts. Best Buy has always had a very strict return policy.

Trevor

That's weird that they said you only had one left. I returned 6 items (out of maybe 20 items purchased, multiple receipts) all at once just the other day; and maybe 20 returns in the last year.

Maybe it works as a percentage of your purchases?

And they used to allow a few returns without receipts per year, gradually becoming more restrictive; but they still allow some YMMV, as I did one in January.

Manzana

After Christmas 2010 BB took a very limited number of items without receipt, but after Christmas 2011 they said no to any such returns. I know someone in a different state who said the same thing happened. The same thing also occurred with Fry's Electronics and Kmart. It's interesting that Trevor was able to do 1 such return at BB in January of this year, but as with everything BB-related it's a huge YMMV. AFAIK, all stores have stopped accepting any returns without receipt, except Target and Walmart (which only do it under strict dollar and time limits).

mcfly, it's bizarre that you were told at BB you only have 1 return left after 2 returns with receipt. In January after my BF, CM and Christmas deals buying spree, I returned over a dozen things to BB on different receipts (I saved up all of my returns from BF week through January and did it all at once). Between then and now I've returned a few more things. They never once said a word about a return limit. I only know about this mysterious limit because after I did this someone told me he had gotten limited. Then I asked a few BB employees about it, and they said they have no clue what causes it to happen. Once again it's YMMV at BB. It sounds like different people have different limits, so who knows what it's based on. I just mentioned it above because it's a factor I consider when I find a better price at Amazon for something I already bought at BB and deciding if it's worth returning.

Double-dipping does suck. But what I'd propose to do is buy the Ultimate Collection for $45 on Amazon.com, remove the shrink-wrapped DVD's from the box, replace them with your used volume 1-8 and keep that, as well as the Rare Treasures.

And with the shrink-wrapped volume 1-8 DVD's that came in the UC sell them on Ebay or Amazon's marketplace. Because you're selling shrink-wrapped DVD's you would more than likely be able to sell those and re-coup all your money from the UC purchase plus come out on top.

mr Articulate

Still on sale at Amazon and BB. I ordered one today. Thanks for the tip. nyuk, nyuk nyuk,. .owwww

JHBulls,

You might be right. Thinking that with their announcement this isn't coming out separately and the price is somewhat decent in structure (saw it at Amazon and Best Buy's site still at 45 bucks), maybe that is the way to go. I'm a stubborn guy but would like to have that Rare Treasures DVD set. I bought all the individual volumes for a friend of mine who lives out of state though, and she's happy with what she got, but was looking forward to owning this. I'll think about what you said and figure out my next move pertaining to this set. That is a hell of a deal though.

Many thanks for the info! Definately appreciate the help from a fellow DVDTalker-

dlbsyst

No problem.

Do you do a lot of price adjustments or exchanges? Those count as returns. I'm not sure what you mean by "one left" though. I hit their return limit on December 31, most likely due to price adjustments during the holiday season. They made me sign a form stating that I cannot make any more returns for 90 days (otherwise they wouldn't process the return I was trying to do at that moment.) Since April, I've been pricematching and returning again without issue. So it's only a 90 day ban.

I broke down & ordered one from Best Buy for in store pickup despite having a huge backlog of unwatched titles.

I would have been a knucklehead NOT to get it at this price.

Anne

I ordered this a few months ago from buy.com for $63.99. It just came in the mail last week so I called them yesterday and said I wanted to return it because it was $44.99 at Bestbuy and they gave me the $19 difference! Now I’m using that $$ towards another set at Best Buy for my brother in law for Xmas. Thank you DVDTalk for the heads up!

rmw650

We all try to help one another on here get the best for their bucks and if it wasn't for this board, I wouldn't have known either Amazon or Best Buy had it at this price. Thanks again!

rdf8585

Thanks. I called and got $17 back (paid 61.99). Wouldn't have thought to do that w/o your post.

g

I didn't know buy.com had a price match policy. That's pretty cool that they are refunding some of the money.

darkflounder

Just got my set for $44.99 from Amazon yesterday. Looks to be a tremendous set, the box is certainly heavy enough.

Haven't opened it, since it's meant as a gift for a friend.
