Nothing yet. Keep checking here or in the Sale Offer Codes thread, although at this point, I doubt we will see one.

Got Quantum Of Solance and Serenity. Yeah, shipping was $5 but it's still worth it.

I picked up The Princess Bride pre-order and Stargate: The Ark of Truth (sold my DVD a couple of weeks ago) to use one of my fulfillments. I'll wait a few months to use the other, when there are some new BD titles to order. Worked out to $10.42 for each BD, a bit higher than my usual $10 price limit for buying Blu-ray Discs, but close enough.

Im sure you guys have your own justifications of why the B1G1 deal is or isnt worth it, but for someone like me that is at the very beginning stages of upgrading my DVD archive to blu-ray, the deal was wonderful. Sure, it cost me almost 300 bucks for 20 new or high profile BD movies, including shipping, but considering that I had to scratch and claw to buy six older BD movies for 100 bucks elsewhere, I'll take it in a heartbeat.

IMO, anytime you can find BD at a B1G1 free deal anywhere, as long as the price markup isnt insane, you win. So if spending 36 bucks for The Matrix and Transformers BDs isnt enough of a win for you, since you cant buy either for 18 (including tax), you have major misconceptions of how the game is played.

Re: B1G1F on Blu-ray Discs, through 3/8/09

picked up blu-rays of quantum of solace and zack and miri. $17.50 per blu is fine by me as i was ready to buy quantum on release day for $25.xx.

thing is i did this purchase on an account that has already been fulfilled. guess i signed up for a new hdl tv account too late (just got accepted yesterday). oh well, i'll be ready for the next b1g1.

This was definitely a decent deal but better deals will come in the near future and that's why some people chose to hold out. Patience will prevail but in the mean time this was a decent sale. In the end, if you're happy with your loot that's all that matters I have too much loot (well over 400 Blu-rays) so I can afford to wait!

It's been three months since the last Blu-ray BOGO sale with free shipping. This was the first time that they did away with the online code box during the sale. I have a bad feeling that the days of combining a Blu-ray BOGO with free shipping may be behind us.

Im sure there will be a B1G1 Bluray with free shipping at some point during the year. CH seems to have one monster sale at least once a year.

When I used to be a funcash whore, I'd wait on the triple funcash deal with free shipping that would come twice a year. And CH never let me down.

Now, I wouldnt hold my breath on when the next B1G1 will be, but I am sure they'll do another one in 2009 and maybe include free shipping. But a B1G1, even without FS is surely better than no deal at all.

Re: B1G1F on Blu-ray Discs, through 3/8/09

Well, that was quick. My first box of Blu-rays showed up today. Two orders, sent in 3 shipments on 3/5, and this is the first one to show up.

Once my 2 pre-orders ship, it will be time to close this account, open another TV account, and wait for the next B1G1 sale.

Between this sale and the recent Disney Club blu-ray sale, I got quite a few recent releases at decent prices. Better prices than Amazon, anyway.

They canceled my order with all of my items ordered. They said I used an invalid credit card which simply isn't true. I just got a letter in the mail about it today.

I wasn't charged or anything, but the information was correct and I should have been able to receive my movies. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have a suggestion for what I should do about this?

This happened to me during the end-of-December sale. It was Hell to fix but I fixed it. I just went into my Microsoft Outlook Columbia House archive and I set 10 emails to Customer Service before this was fixed. Keep in mind my order was placed on 12/8/08...this wasn't resolved 100% until 3/11/09!!!!

In my case I had ordered 50 total BD's over 6 orders of which 25 were the "Buy 1" and 25 were the "Get 1 Free." The problem was CH wouldn't ship the 6 they cancelled (which were the free ones of course) because at the time I had received more free BD's than BD's I had paid for due to a significant number of pre-orders. So, once I figured out that is what they were doing (after speaking with a CSR on the phone that could have cared less about being alive) I waited until all my pre-orders were paid for and delivered. I then contacted Customer Service at which point they shipped me the remaining 6 free BDs and then did a bill adjustment the next day.

So, I would suggest contacting Customer Service via the web form first to see if you can straighten this out and if not give them a call to feel out what the issue is. Keep in mind my story and realize that you may have to wait until your pre-orders are paid for and shipped before contacting them again.

Re: B1G1F on Blu-ray Discs, through 3/8/09

Two of the items I ordered were pre-orders. Maybe I should just wait to see if they attempt to ship them then and, if not, wait until the next B1G1 free (hopefully with free shipping). I don't want to have a big hassle to deal with. I have so many movies to watch as it is anyway.

Thanks for the help.

I think the difference between your situation and mine is that the only 6 BD's that CH didn't ship to me due to a bad credit card were 6 FREE BD's. It sounds like they didn't ship ANY of yours. My situation was extremely weird because I could not for the life of me understand why they would even try to charge me for 6 FREE BD's in the first place.

Any who...if you really want them an email will likely get them shipped but they might really screw up your order too. Once a B1G1 sale ends CH has to charge you full price and then do an adjustment due to "system limitations." So, you can expect that to happen without a doubt given that the sale is over.

It's okay now. I'm fine with the failed charged and "Processed" order now that I can re-order them with free shipping to boot!
