Sorry, they only have the first three seasons of Voyager.

Thanks! Holy cow! If they approve this I'll be getting ST:TOS S1&S2, and Battlestar G & Sliders, all relatively high-priced sets.

Yup, but you can't see what they don't *officially* offer That's why people have been asking for itemIDs. It allows you to order other box sets that are not shown at chtvedition

Can you get any boxset that is on Columbia House's website?

I think the whole thing is you can try, but you may not get them. Many people seem to have been lucky enough to have their orders go through.

I'm wondering if they have any of the other Trek shows, plus I Love Lucy Season 1. This is a gold mine if these applications go through (which of course, mine from Friday hasn't ).

Enrolled a 2nd time (HDL) Sunday @ 10am & received the Welcome email today (Monday) @ 11:30am.

My 1st enrollment went thru, but didn't generate a Welcome email. Found out the account # by a promotional email from that new account - promoting the 50% off 2nd+ titles.

BTW, if the Set doesn't show up on CHs' TV Edition enrollment site, chances are you won't be getting it if you're changing the code to force it into the cart. I tried this last time around with zilch for my efforts - just a 2-3 week wait for the rejection letter.

Trying for $100+ MSRP sets is surely a way to get shot down. Using CH MSRP/Regular $, there are no sets being offered thru the enrollment site with a MSRP > $100. The only "blip" on this - War & Remembrance - is listed as $90 MSRP on CHs' site (not the $130 listed here).

I agree, trying to Star Trek is really wishful thinking. It seems as though any of the Babylon 5 seasons work though, my account history still is blank for that account I got accepted to on Saturday, but it does show I only need to buy 2 DVDs.

Don't lose anything from trying. If I get denied I'll mix it up a bit more instead of doing 2 expensive sets in one order.

Just your time & possiblity of being black-listed by CH. IMHO, it's not worth it. Even getting sets below $100 MSRP (ie. Babylon 5) would be pushing it if they aren't listed on the enrollment site. But hey, if it works (for sets below $100), go for it - it's your time & $.

Does anyone know if they'll be offering the $5 off your first online order in the TV Club?

Should be fine as you've ordered your 2 box sets, you are then ordering through the regular CH DVD club (not really a TV club, just initial DVDs must be TV box sets). 2 extra DVDs can be any from the CH catalog.

I signed up for Babylon 4 & 5 Friday morning, but still no welcome email or pending CC charges. It looks like it's hit or miss with titles not listed on the site.

Yeah, the only reason I tried B5 was because it was available with HDL last time (though I can't recall if S5 was).

https://qj.columbiahouse.com/live/ad...ue&language=en

(make sure there is no space after the "?")

Substitute your 7-digit itemid for the "XXXXXXX" in the above URL and it should add the title to your cart.
I just signed up for a new account, but I couldn't get it to take a second item id. I had to order one of the ones on the set. I ordered Star trek (tos) Season 2 & I love Lucy Season 2. Is there any way to order 2 sets that are not on the website?

Hmm... What happened when you tried adding the second item to your cart? Are you sure you were using a valid itemid? When I use the URL method, I cut/paste the URL, edit the X's for the the first itemid, then hit return. The first selection should now show in your cart. Since that edited URL is still in the address line, so I simply edit it for the second itemid, hit return, then it takes me to the name/address page since I now have 2 items in my cart. Another thing to try is to first clear all your cookies and try again from the beginning.

Let us know if you still have problems.

Okay, I tried it again and it worked. I was clicking on "go" next to the URL instead of hitting return, and it was giving me a different URL. It works well when I hit return. Thanks!!

Just a heads up that all their boxsets seem to be on sale right now. I ordered Without a Trace for $45 - $5 web discount for a grand total of $50. Not bad for a fulfillment, especially when the going price for Without a Trace is $48 at Best Buy.

So $50 fulfillment + $10 enrollment = $60 for CSI season 1+2 and Without a Trace. About ~$20 a season. Not bad.



Anyone know when TV sets become available for enrollment? I know movies have a very distinct pattern but what about TV sets. I'm hoping to sign up again and snatch CSI 3+4 but 4 isn't available yet.

What's the level that counts as 2 fulfillments for box sets? I know the site says $50+ but that isn't correct, correct?
