This is easily the slowest shipping I've ever experienced from DD. Shipped last Friday, still not here after mail delivery today. Sigh.

Hmmmmm interesting. I used the live.com cashback thing and got an email almost immediately showing my discount:



You received $16.20 from your Deep Discount purchase on 11/15/2008




Under that it broke down the discount for EVERY item:

Here is the interesting part, the 4% discount that i received was for the NON sale price of the items. All prices you see above are WITHOUT the 25% off. Here is what I ordered, and this reflects sale prices:




1 BVD053668 BLR : KING ARTHUR (UR/DC) $ 15.62 In-stock
1 BVD054401 BLR : GI JANE $ 14.87 In-stock
1 BVD056149 BLR : THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA (2 $ 19.37 In-stock
1 FXD051560 DVD : SIMPSONS-11TH SEASON $ 22.42 In-stock
1 FXD054169 DVD : FAMILY GUY V.06 $ 19.42 In-stock
1 HBD039457 BLR : BAND OF BROTHERS $ 41.14 Backorder
1 MCA003996 BLR : THE MUMMY (MOVIE TICKET) $ 17.12 In-stock

1 WBD027141 BLR : TWISTER $ 17.12 In-stock
1 WBD082838 BLR : BLAZING SADDLES $ 15.62 In-stock

Merchandise Total: $ 304.13
Tax: $ .00
Shipping & Processing: $ .00

Total for this Order: $ 304.13



4% of 304.13 is $12.17 not $16.20



This is only order # 1 but it will be by FAR the biggest, I may order a few more here and there but this was the big one, and the one I used the DVDTALK coupon for

Went in for another one...

1 BHV010446 DVD : DRIVE-IN CULT CLASSICS 8 MOVIE SET $ 4.49
1 BHV025734 DVD : DRIVE-IN CULT CLASSICS 3 $ 5.38
1 BHV048215 DVD : DRIVE-IN CULT CLASSICS 2 $ 5.38

Wasn't planning on this order, but I read an interesting review of Vol. 3 here at DVDTalk. When I checked prices on it and Vols 1-2, I couldn't resist; that's 15 bucks for like 24 B-movies.

My second order:

Vampyr
TOTAL: $19.42

At this point, the only items that I'm still strongly considering are the Godzilla collection, The Godfather trilogy, the "Man Push Cart"/"Chop Shop" set, and the Kenneth Anger sets. Compared to the last sale, I really won't be getting much this time.

I finally received my 3 orders that I placed on the first day of the sale. They were all packaged together and in great condition. Finally got my copy of Batman The Complete Animated Series.

I need to stop reading this thread. I haven't bought a DVD since July, but this thread is full of temptation.
That said, I did order a couple things.
Batman TAS (like many) (saw this at BJ's today as well, but had no price)
Upright Citizen's Brigade S2

Hmm...of course I just checked my order status and it says Cancelled for both items, for some reason.


I also saw that BJ"s had the Chrono Donald 4 for either 21.99 or 22.99.

Django was not on my "radar" until recently but after watching it, it is one of the most entertaining Westerns I've ever seen in my life. It is currently priced at $10.10 at DD at then when you take 25% off that- great deal!

FYI, Amazon has it for 19.99 right now. I'm tempted, but knowing I can't get the other volumes without going through the used market is killing that.

BACKORDER 1 0 $13.10

$11.05
SHIPPED 1 0 $8.29

The Adventures of Robin Hood [Blu-ray Disc]
$22.83
BACKORDER 1 0 $17.12
-----------------------------------------
11/16

Budd Boetticher Box Set
$43.79
OPEN 1 0 $32.84

Pete Kelly's Blues
$13.59
OPEN 1 0 $10.15

I almost forgot about the Budd Boetticher box set and Pete Kelly's Blues but was talking to my dad about movies yesterday and both Boetticher and Jack Webb came up and I remembered that these were now available so I jumped on it at about 12:30 am and placed the order.

I didn't even know that Love and Honor had been released domestically (I loved Twilight Samurai and The Hidden Blade) until I saw it on the shelf at the local Best Buy - so when I got home I immediately ordered the thing on DD.

That should do it for me this time. It's my smallest total order amount to date, but more than I planned to spend. At 25% off I just couldn't resist some of these titles.

Hellboy 2 3 Disc DVD is back on the site, but the coupon does not apply. Amazon has the better price now with $17.99.

I recently made my first purchase for this year's DD sale, however, I have a question.

The item I have attempted to purchase is the Freaks and Geeks Yearbook edition that has yet been released. I know that this deal does not work with pre-orders, but I noticed this item was on "back-order" and not a pre-order. Obviously they haven't mailed the item out, but what are my chances in actually receiving it for the price I ordered it for after the 25% discount?

The release date listed on DD and DVD Planet was the old release date. Neither site ever changed that detail when the set was pushed back to 11/25. I ordered it from DVD Planet, and I expect it to ship out once it's officially released on that date.

Apparently I waited too long to purchase Chronological Donald: Vol. 4 when they made it available again with the 25% discount. It's now no longer available. I was resigned to order it from Amazon, but to my surprise, they dropped the price from 24.99 to 19.99. I'm still in a Prime trial, so I didn't have to add anything else to get free shipping. I'm hoping they'll drop the price of Dr. Syn as well.
