WHMARCHPLUS until 3/19/09 - only applies to used

GenPion

Thanks for posting this... but I really wish it applied to new items. I guess I'll keep waiting for their next sale.

I had just pressed 'place order' and suddenly their site went down for maintenance.

Hope my items are still available in the morning.

EDIT: Working now - thanks OP!

The same identical inventory is at secondspin.com
If you put it in your cart on one site it removes it from the other.

GenPion

This is correct. Both websites are more or less the same except Wherehouse.com offers New items as well.

A pretty inconvenient (lack of) feature is that you cannot search by director/actor, as on SecondSpin.com

Incorrect -- the feature is there, but just not linked to from anywhere. As an example, try:
http://www.wherehouse.com/stores/ss/...158&sell=false
(I just did a quick actor/director search on secondspin.com and then replaced the domain name with wherehouse.com)

You'll find that a lot of the code on secondspin.com, wherehouse.com, and spun.com is shared -- if there's a feature you like on one that the others don't have, you can usually manipulate the url to get to the same thing on that site as well.

Prices after 20% discount and GA 8% tax:

Invasion - $1.87
Metamorphosis: The Alien Factor - $4.31
Organizm - $4.12
Satanic - $4.31

I was going to order via SecondSpin (same inventory), but Invasion and Metamorphosis kept going in and out of stock. Wherehouse showed both in stock.

Order #1:

Tripper Used DVD $3.90
Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror [Widescreen] Used DVD $2.62
Sales Tax (MO 6.85%): $0.45

Order Total: $6.97

Just a small order with a couple items that were cheaper than at SecondSpin. Never seen either, but they should make good horror challenge fodder. Hood of Horror especially looks like it should be so awful that it ends up being fun.

is there someway I can sort used inventory by price ? why is the site so difficult to navigate ?

asianxcore

Placed my first time order tonight. Wherehouse actually had some items that Second Spin didn't have and one item I bought was actually $4+ cheaper.

Order #1

Juno (Blu-Ray)-----$9.74
Made Of Honor (Blu-Ray)-----$8.38
The Ugly-----$3.99
Botched-----$3.26

TOTAL (w/Tax)= $27.34

Anybody have their orders ship yet? I placed mine right after the code went live (5 days ago) and nothing has been billed or sent. Same goes for SecondSpin. Very unusual given my past experiences with them.

Poor puppy..... wait for it dude. It's epic.

Dane

Nothing here.

laidbacklarkin

Thank you. Appreciate it.

I know it's been mentioned that secondspin also has a 20% off deal right now, but I don't think it's been mentioned that FYE does too. I don't know if they share the same inventory system as well, but they are all TWEC so they might... Pricing might be different. The one advantage of FYE is that you can combine your 10% off Backstage Pass discount with the coupon, if you have one. The disadvantage is you need $25 to qualify for free shipping.

LIMITED TIME OFFER: Add any Used CDs or DVDs to your cart, enter coupon code USED20MAR in the Promotional Code area of your Shopping Cart Page to receive your 20% off discount!
Cannot be combined with other offers. fye.com reserves the right to cancel this promotion at any time. Valid online only on Used CDs and Used DVDs, not valid on Blu-ray.

I have noticed a trend of late with Wherehouse/2ndspin.
That if I order on Thursday afternoon or anytime Friday/weekend.
That most of my orders ship the following Tuesday.
Not all but many of them. Sometimes I get a Sunday
ship. But of late its either Tues/Weds/Thurs morning.
This also has included 1st class shipping.....

Yeah I'm getting really worried about my orders. My first order had 15 DVDs & they only sent me 1? WTF! Next order was for 2 but I only received 1. Then they skipped one of my orders for some reason for the one after that sending me 2 out of 4 ordered from that batch. Plus my one wherehouse order is still sitting there in process & nothing moving at all. That's 17 DVDs missing from three orders now split up, I don't want a thousand packages sent to my house. lol They said they are having problems with their orders right now trying to fix it but what if some of the stuff is out of stock since their system seems so messed up right now, very confused about what's going on there.....

TGM

get down off the ledge Torchur, everything will be OK.

Torchur317

I'm alright, I just want my DVDs....

Order #2:

Drillbit Taylor [Blu-ray] $8.94
Spacecamp [Widescreen] $5.59
Sales Tax (MO 6.85%): $1.00

Order Total: $15.53

One final order. I only ordered at Wherehouse because Drillbit Taylor was cheaper. Spacecamp was a childhood favorite that I haven't seen since the early 90s and I suspect it doesn't hold up well. It will make an excellent Lea Thompson double feature with Howard the Duck though.

BTW, www.Wherehouse.com still has free shipping with the code WHFREEMARCH it ends 3/26

I finally got a shipping notice today that *part* of my order (placed the day the code went live) shipped the 19th. 2 items were cancelled.

This is the 2nd time in a few weeks that I've placed an order and had items cancelled from the shipment. The first time I did business with them was a few weeks ago with the 20% off new and used with Free Shipping offer. I placed 2 separate orders then and this sale makes for 3 orders total.

I'm a bit irritated about the cancellations as their website implies that when an item is placed in a shopping cart that item is actually removed from their inventory database as "sold" until you either make the purchase *or* 90 minutes goes by (I'm assuming a cookie expires) at which time it is placed back into inventory. This is based on this statement on the shopping cart page:

"Shopping carts inactive for more than 90 minutes will be emptied. The items will be reshelved so they are available to other customers. For more information, see the help section."

I made my orders on this assumption and have been disappointed 2 out of 3 times.

1 order for a new product was cancelled as they did not have enough stock to fill available orders and the item went OOP before new stock arrived. Never mind that it showed to be in stock at the time of order.

Another order had 2 items cancelled almost a week after the order was placed even though both cancelled items were indicated to be the "last one" when I placed them in my cart. Following placing them in my cart they showed to be OOS when looking them up again.

I placed all my orders on the assumption that once I've placed an item in my cart it's mine as long as I complete the checkout process in 90 minutes or less. *All* my orders were completed within 30 minutes. Far short of the 90 minute cutoff after which the implication is the items return to inventory. I felt pretty good because I thought I need not worry about cancellations as product is removed from inventory as soon as it's placed it in my cart and my orders were completed promptly.

Why put such a blatantly false statement on the shopping cart page if it's not truly the way it works? It really irritates me when the implication is that the shopping cart and inventory are linked to avoid this situation but it occurs anyway. It rankles me even more when you consider that they will not allow you to cancel an order, even within seconds of placing it. Not that I wanted to cancel any order but they seem to want to have their cake and eat it too. While I'm quite satisfied with the quality of the used product I purchased and the overall price I paid, defaulting on implied promises leaves a bad enough taste in my mouth to not order from them again.

Placed my order 4 days ago @ Wherehouse and no shipping email yet.

Hopefully I'll have better luck getting my items
