DeepDiscountDVD.com will not apply a price match and a DeepDiscountDVD.com coupon on the same order.

Happened to me. The CC company caught it after someone in russia bagan to use it.
Of course this could be one of those plots to discredit DDD. Seems to be a lot of new members complaining these days.

Did you buy anything else that day? I find it would be a lot easier for say, a waiter to steal your card number than an internet hacker. I would say that unless many others come foreward saying their cards have been comprimised, there was another problem. Make sure your facts are straight before throwing around such harmful accusations.

I was going to place a second order, but I am not sure now. I might try to cancel the first one and put everything on the second one (I was waiting for some releases on Tuesday).

I had been thinking they just didn't have it in stock.]

My first order arrived yesterday, one item backordered shipped today but no word on my second order in which all items are still "In Process".
Thanks DDD! Items in hand 5 days after ordering is a record!

I still haven't heard back from them regarding my email about Amazon having lower prices on Arrested Development. It wouldn't bother me so much if Amazon's sale undercut DDD's and they wouldn't match it, but DDD's sale prices are actually slightly higher than Amazon's regular prices, not even taking into account the $10 Amazon is offering on the sets. In the future, it looks like the smart thing to do will be order niche items through DDD's sale and check to see if Amazon or other e-tailers are undercutting their prices on mainstream items.
For my current order, I'm just going to assume I won't get a price match and eat the $13 difference. But I will be re-emailing all my friends I'd told about the sale to warn them that they should definitely do price checks before ordering from DDD's sale. I can't be too pissed at DDD for doing what they need to in order to remain profitable, but I'm disappointed that they're no longer consistently the best deal around.

Agreed. I see the people happily paying prices for discs that I think are too much. While on the other hand there are some extreme deals to be had here. I think the more expensive an item gets the better a deal DD has. I don't really concern myself with it though. If you are happy with the price you are paying for something then that is all that matters. It takes all kinds.
As far as your Arrested Development ordeal, buy it from Amazon and return the DDD ones or place a new pricematched order at DDD for them and return the coupon ordered ones back to them.

Price drop gotcha
DDD hiked an awful lot of their prices in advance of this 20% off sale. Some by almost 100%! I had planned to get Millennium Season 3 (among several other titles). Just before the sale, the price bumped up to $41.85.
$41.85 x .8 = $33.48
Not bad for the set compared to Best Buy, etc., but I held off, in order to check eBay prices. I finally ordered last night at 7pm. The price had fallen:
$37.20 x .8 = $29.76
"Too bad for the poor chumps who ordered this set when the sale started," I thought.
Two *hours* later, I was looking for something else at DDD when I scanned back across the MS3 listing. New price:
$23.56 x .8 = $18.84
Argh. I am the chump.
I called DDD customer service [800-264-5076] and endured their nigh-interminable hold. Eventually, after putting me back on hold three times, they refunded the difference in the sale prices ($10.92), which was cool of them. They didn't refund the difference in tax ($0.74). That was mildly annoying, but definitely not enough to wait another 45 minutes to fix.

As you say, you have to do your homework to find the best deals. That's why we have forums like this, to let people know where to find them.
