I think he's talking about the glitch were if the regular price of the movie was $20 or more & you used a coupon to bring your total down to under $10, it counted as a fulfillment title. Happened to me

Ya log off for a couple weeks, then miss arguably the greatest opportunity at CH in its history, and certainly in the last couple years. Rats! And I had an account to fulfill too. Ah well, congrats to those who got in.

Churchill: "Would you sleep with me for five pounds?"

Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!"

Churchill: "Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price”
So is it just a matter of degree?

Anyway, I placed 15 orders so I guess I was over the "downright appalling" line.
I prefer this Churchill quote:

Lady: "Drunk again as usual, I see Winston"
Churchill: Yes, and you are still ugly I see. But in the morning at least I shall be sober".

I only placed 6 orders, but I wasn't being particularly noble, that's all I wanted since they don't carry Fox or Disney releases.

Have all your "balance due" at the top disappeared? Mine is still there (I paid via cc and bill me). I thought maybe the sum was the "bill me" portion but it doesn't add up.

Hmm--I paid the balance due. Will need to see what I end up getting charged--only did so because I got a call from the fraud protection department saying I would need to ask them to process my payment again after confirming the charges weren't fraud.

Looks like I'm good, I see:
03/13/2012 03/13/2012 Sale DBI*COLUMBIA HOUSE $58.50
03/13/2012 03/13/2012 Return DBI*COLUMBIA HOUSE -$58.50

My balance due charges zeroed out, my orders have shipped and I was charged correctly by CH(I also placed CC and Bill Me orders).


BTW, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo has already shipped.

Received a few yesterday and just got shipping notes on 3 more.

Also noticed Girl with the Dragon Tattoo says "shipped". No date just yet though.

Got my orders in the mail today. I'm not sure if Columbia House intended to give the deals they did with the $10 and $15 off coupons, but BIG ups to them for honoring the sales.

They didn't. I also don't think that they honored anything. I feel that it's more likely that they are just inept. Enjoy your haul.

lol, well I was trying to be positive about it but either way, we all came out winners (except the few who posted that they missed out on the deal; sorry).

And I will! You enjoy yours as well.

Re: Columbia House Sale Offer Codes, Part VI
Are your packages coming by First Class Mail? They gave me a 3/29 delivery estimate so I presumed it was Media Mail. Being that each title is mailed separately, the cost for First Class would be the same for here or the Mainland, so I thought it odd.

Thank you for the response. I don't know what's up with mine, then.

They had to be first class with as fast as they arrived. I was also surprised to see that my e-mail shipping notices included a link to a site to track the shipments. I met the mail lady today and she scanned each one. I don't ever recall CH using any kind of delivery confirmation like that before.

I got this email too. It is not supposed to be good on upcoming release blu-rays but it does work on them. Too bad shipping kills it.

And, of course, nowhere near last week.

Has Columbia House dropped the bloodhounds? A few years ago, CH started calling in lawyers on people after they exploited a glitch allowing them to buy 1 DVD and get 4.
