Very slow site.

What is the deal with shipping and preorders? If I chose the $4.95 option, do I just pay $4.95 and they expedite ship every preorder?

I guess everybody is waking up this morning and finding out about this discount. Can't get to the site now.

Yes, I can't get anything to load. I've given up on placing an order for now. There doesn't seem to be anytime that the site is moving at a reasonable pace, even after midnight. Since noone has posted when this sale will end, I don't know if I even need to rush getting an order in early.

My order finally went through. I had to hit "place order" over and over, when suddenly I got an error screen. I was afraid that maybe I lost the order, too, b/c my basket was then empty...

At the same time, Yahoo crapped out so I couldn't check and see if I got an order confirm.

A couple of minutes later, though, all was resolved as I had, in fact, received a confirmation.

I'm glad I waited a day to snag those Dead Zone sets...

10 items, including 4 sets and a criterion - 158.85 after discount...

A sweet deal!

It goes up and down. Must depend on the volumn of traffic.
I would like to know how they are making money with this. They give a35 % off ususally. I f you add another 20%, that means they are giving at least 55% off. Most wholesalers give about that amount.

Well if the site ever works for me I might just have to pick up a few things. Too bad I ordered Quantum Leap yesterday, if it is still in stock I will just cancel that order though. I'll probably pick a few more shows and maybe the Scorsese (sp) boxset.

Actually, it would = 52% OFF.

BTW, Did it ever occur to anyone that these codes were not intended to be active and the orders will be cancelled? After all (and correct me if I’m wrong), there was no USA Today ad and no official announcement from DVD Talk.

That's possible, but one would think that they would catch on to it after getting deluged with orders for the past 12 hours or so.

Man this site is getting raped hard. Maybe I am just blind, but is there any way to cancel an order that is in process?

Only the first shipment will be expedited shipping. All other shipments will be media mail.

Thanks for the info, D.

Hmm, I just tried loading DDD's site at work and right away it's telling me it's not a valid address...

Since someone from here was kind enough to post the coupons at FatWallet you can expect DDD to be swamped.
