Just ordered The Complete Cosby Show set, released today. It's a hell of a deal (about $62 after coupon and live.com 4% cashback)!

2 Dvd's for me, the rest for gifts.

I also received a postcard in the mail Monday from DD advertising the sale.

In the fine print:

"Offer vaild only on currently available DVD's, Blu-Ray discs, HDDVD's, UMD's, Posters, Storage Units, and Fun Stuff only. Pre-release items are not eligible for this discount. Coupons to not apply to other product categories on the site such as Video Games, CD's, Books, Electronics, Cell Phones, or Magazines."

But I see they are doing the "Mega sale" again, select CD's and books heavily discounted.

Ordered roughly $89 worth of stuff on Saturday and it's still processing. I assume with the Holiday on Tuesday, the stuff won't get processed until Wednesday.

I was about to order the Hell Boy 2 Blu-ray collector's set and I'm getting a "This item is no longer available." error. That went super fast or is there an error on the website?

I too have ordered much from DDD over the years and was always very pleased until this year. I placed a 30 piece order on Thursday night, all where in stock, and it is still processing. Called DDD @ 800-264-5076 at least 3 times and got a different story every time on why it is still processing. Today, Tuesday AM, I talked to a supervisior who couldn't/wouldn't do anything except to say "I don't know when it willl be processed, but if it does ship today and since you chose 'Expedited Shipping' (@ $6.95), it will go US Postal Service, which, of course, is closed today." Really not helpful. I asked for UPS and was told NO! Based on their attitude, that was my first and LAST order.

My need for instant gratification is killing me!!! I ordered the planet of the apes set last week and it is on back order and then I went to order band of brothers blu-ray and sadly it too is on back order I own both already on DVD but it just ain't the same. I soooo wanted to get band of brothers today at best buy but that extra 15 or so off compelled me to wait.

Just buy 'em at whatever store. Save the receipts, bag, and price tags. Once your Deeeeep Discount copies come in, put the price tags on them, and return them to the store.

The store is made whole by getting the exact, brand new copies of those same titles. Instant gratification solved.

From my experience, the larger the order, the longer it takes to process. I never assume DD have every single DVD they say that are "IN STOCK" actually is in stock. They may have to get it from a distributor which takes time to order and ship to and from. Now multiply that by the amount of items in your order and it becomes very complicated especially if the items are from different sources. Plus, weekends are essentially dead times for shipping.

I'm not saying that your frsutration is not warranted, but you have to look at both sides of the situation. I've been involved in warehouse/internet shipping before and it is a very complicated process to fulfill large orders with such a big inventory of items.

Sounds logical enough. Although since both titles are on backorder thru DD that would deduct more time from the "return window" for whatever B&M store he chooses to purchase from. It is also kind of a gamble that they would arrive in good shape from DD.

I ordered Batman: The Complete Animated Series, chose free shipping, and it arrived yesterday! I was fully prepared to wait weeks for it, but I'm not complaining. The mysteries of Media Mail...
