3 more orders, but they're all on backorder (since all of them recently went OOP) so we'll see if I actually get them:

Madman Gargantua
Wolverine Omnibus
Amazing Spiderman Omnibus

Put in a new order, "Parasomnia" DVD - $6.51. 50% off still works as did the free shipping.

Just placed another order for Criterion Collection 'Blow Out' and both codes still worked! Final total with tax = $15.36

They just killed the 50% off code. I was in the process of yet another order, but the discount got revoked at the final stage. Just as well -- I'd been abusing this offer too much anyway.

Almost everything I purchased is backordered with a 2-8 week wait, so who knows what I'll actually end up receiving.

Wow what a rip off. I ordered 4 items from my families 4 account numbers and every one of them has been cancelled. Is this a SCAM? Even Medium the complete series which does not come out until June 21 was cancelled. Has anyone else had the same problem?

3 of my 5 orders have shipped. The other 2 are pre-orders. They haven't been canceled yet. But a few months ago they had canceled one of my pre-orders, then sent me an email saying it was canceled by mistake and I can call to reinstate (which I never did).

Um, how? It is 37.99, so would be $18.99 with the coupon, before tax. Did you use Borders Bucks with it?

I'm sure he's talking about the DVD version.

(Also, not that it matters, but your math is slightly off, since the Blu-ray would be $18.99 after coupon.)

Strange shipping from FedEx for my Borders item:

May 24, 2011 7:00 AM Arrived at FedEx location NEWARK, NJ

May 23, 2011 11:55 PM Departed FedEx location NEWARK, NJ

That's not what I call progress. Anyone else seeing something similar?

This is common. Your package had second thoughts about leaving Newark, but will probably be enticed to leave in the near future.

After going thorugh what I went through with them today just to try and order a DVD set, now I can see why this company has no chance of recovering. They might as well shut down the doors and call it a day. Just pitiful service!

Dang, I should've come here first before I "liked" them.

Anyway, the free shipping code from the other day seems to be still working and stacking with the 50% coupon.

Hmm. The site still won't let me add anything to my cart. Frustrating.

Oh brother...Borders must need the cash flow desperately. They sure won't be making any money on these coupons.

Le Mans (Bd) $11.95

For those of you having problems adding items to the cart: using Firefox as your browser, remove all cookies (Firefox > options > Firefox will: use custom settings for history > show cookies > remove all cookies). Don't use referral links. Any item that is not a pre-order can be added to the cart. If you add a pre-order, you'll get an error and you'll have to do the above again. When checking out, do so as a guest with your email address, since logging in seems to produce an error as well. No pre-orders is irritating, but at least you can order older items at the discount.

Thanks for posting the new code. (No interest in having a Facebook account.) It does stack with the free shipping code. Placed another order for the ultimate cheezy movie:

1990: Bronx Warriors: Post-Apocalyptic Collection (DVD): $8.67 Backorder-Usually ships within 2 weeks
