Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray
This is 47% off at amazon.ca, it works out to about $86 US dollars, here's a link:

That's a good deal, eh?

Some people on bluray.com have successfully gotten Amazon.com to price match their preorder by e-mailing/calling customer service. Others have gotten denied. For that deal it's certainly worth a shot!

Shouldn't it qualify for free shipping? I thought there was no penalty for shipping to the US from amazon.ca. The successful folks on blu-ray.com have gotten their pre-orders price matched down to $86.08.

Nope. You're still on the hook for shipping. In Europe it's the VAT that you don't get charged.

Well American customers on bluray.com are successfully getting a price match of $86.08, again, it's worth a shot. I'm locked in at $118 so it'd be a huge discount for me.

I sent Amazon an email. Worst case they say no and I cancel and get the Canadian version for $30 less anyway. Either way, Amazon will most likely get my money.

I sent Amazon an email tonight and they already replied. Price matched down to $86, making it just over $92 with taxes. Not too bad.

Worked for me. Thanks.

I had it preordered from Bliwitoutahere for around $92... with this, Amazon is about $90, plus 2 day shipping, and knowing I can deal with Amazon if anything is wrong with it.

So you have to email them for the price match? It still shows $118.96

I emailed them after seeing this thread update. No reply yet. I didn't threaten to cancel, just pointed out that their .ca site had it for cheaper and asked if they'd price match. Hoping they don't push back.

I just received a reply and they said no the price matching, so looks like I will be ordering the Canadian version after all.

I find it strange how some are getting it and some aren't. I got it with no hassle.

I just got a reply this morning, they price matched it down to $94.99, which includes the shipping cost, but that still saves me $24 so I'm quite pleased!

I got a reply...basically a standardized message telling me to pound sand. lol

Considering writing back telling them to cancel if they don't drop the price.

Some members on the other site had to try a couple times before getting the price match. If their e-mail didn't work they tried a chat or calling, and eventually got the price match. It depends entirely on which rep you get.

I'll give them a call when I have a chance. I also went to the US product page and filled out the "found cheaper elsewhere", or whatever it's called. We'll see if they do anything when I referenced their own (CDN) site as the cheaper competitor.

Re: Halloween: The Complete Collection is coming to blu-ray
I called and they told me that the Canadian Amazon runs independently from the American Amazon. So they couldn't do it.

Help!

This is all I said...

Selected Order Items: Halloween: The Complete Collection Limited Deluxe Edition[Blu-ray]

Comments: Hello - Amazon.ca has this item listed for cheaper. http://www.amazon.ca/Halloween-Compl...een+collection

Are you able to price adjust? I don't see why not considering they're both Amazon
This was the reply:

Hello,

I do understand your concern regarding the price of Halloween: The Complete Collection Limited Deluxe Edition[Blu-ray]. I see that you are a loyal customer.

So, I've reviewed your order and see that your items haven't shipped yet.

As an exception, I've reduced the price of the item to the currently-listed price of $86.04. This is what you'll be charged for the item when your order ships, but you may still see an authorization for the original amount on your account. Please contact your bank for more information about how long they hold payment authorizations for online purchases.

I got two different reps, and like the e-mail, no go.

You could keep trying. I don't know what to tell you, some people are having success, some aren't. Some are getting the price match with no hassle, others have had to try multiple times.

Not going to bother. I cancelled my order and will shop around once it's released.
