From their web site:

Via Telephone

To reach Customer Service via telephone call toll-free 800-264-5076. Monday through Friday from 8 A.M. to 7 P.M. CT and on Saturday from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. CT.

I placed two orders with DDD and one during their sale with DVD Planet due to a better deal of 20% off used stuff. So basically, if Planet hadn't had their sale I probably would have placed three with DDD. But there were a lot of good general deals elsewhere and never underestimate the launching of three new generation game systems simultaneously (more or less, 360 got the jump on the other two). I think that cut into DDD sales as much as anything but I would think DDD still made out quite well.

It's really not "our" inside secret anymore and it became way too mainstream (although I can completely understand) during this sale. They advertised everywhere, on every heavily-traffiked website. It wasn't geared this time to just hardcore DVD fanatics (like us!) and the prices really reflected it. I didn't purchase a single thing.
