DeepDiscountDVD.com Replacement Policy
I was surprised and appalled that they recharged me for a DVD for an exchange I wanted because the one I received was defective! Just think if you had a defective $100 boxset and wanted to exchange it for a new copy. You'd be paying $200. This is ridiculous!

hey chu
look closely at your credit card statement, you should have a refund for that same amount recharged, i have never had any problems with exchanges at ddd

That cant be right. I ordered Scrubs season 1 from them and disc 1 was damaged, they have sent me a prepaid sticker but I have yet to send it back. They better not charge me again for the set.

An additional amount of money (price of the DVD) is being taken out of my account. It doesn't say I'm being refunded any amount at all. I e-mailed them about this and they told me it is their policy.

I hate DDD's return policy.
I'd rather they just do an even exchange instead of refunding and recharging. It would be nice if they did it like Amazon, and send out the replacement immediately so I could just switch out the defective discs in multi-disc sets instead of having to rewatch all of them to verify they work.

If they ship you a damaged DVD (say, a collector's tin box), would they pay shipping for the return?

I got the third season set of E.R. during their most recent sale, and the cases had been smashed so they wouldn't hold the discs. I returned it and they replaced it without a problem, although I had to pay for shipping to return it. Between the time I placed the order and the time I got a good set, more than a month had passed --and I decided that it ultimately wasn't worth the savings.

I think DDD is really pretty good processing returns and exchanges. The wait for shipping and re-shipping can be a pain (if you're not using some kind of upgraded shipping), but other than that, they usually seem pretty cool.
I'm guessing the whole debit/re-charge process they use is more related to the use of credit card payment than any necessity of how they process returns. If you try to return merchandise to a retailer that you have bought on credit, they only debit your CC rather than refunding you cash. That is obviously to prevent fraudulent CC usage, so I'm guessing DDD's process has something like the same basis.
DDD only overcharged me on a return once, and that was because they charged me for shipping the exchanged item back to me instead of the no-cost no frills shipping option that I had used for the original purchase. I was tweaked about it until I realized they had also credited me that shipping amount on my returned item, so it all came out in the wash.
And if you do contact them for a return postage authorization, they will even email it to you, so you don't have to wait for it to be mailed via PO. Pretty good CS overall, in my opinion.

How long does it usually take to get a replacement back? I got the Ultimate Matrix set with broken digipaks, so I sent it back. I used the label they emailed me and got
delivery confirmation on it just because the post office makes me paranoid. heh.
Anyways, they've recieved it a little over 10 days ago. Do they email you when its sent out or anything? Or does it just show up? Thanks
