I've been a DVDPlanet customer for a long time (primarily because of the lowest available Criterion prices anywhere), but this is my first time using Quote Machine or sending used discs to them. I sent a shipment last Wednesday (11-7) using media mail. Exactly one week later I don't have any credit, which is not unexpected. However, I am really hoping to get the credit within the next 7 days (by the 21st) so that I can use it while the 20% sale is still in effect.
Is there any way to check the status, short of calling them? And when the credit is applied, will I get an email? Will it automatically appear under "Store Credit" on the My Account page when I log into my normal DVDPlanet account?
(Mark, if you are looking, my quote/shipment # is 13270.)

Depending where you live, they might not have even received the discs yet. Expecting to get a credit within a week of mailing is pretty unreasonable. It now takes them about a week after they get the discs to issue the credit, which is pretty good.

Your best bet is to give them a call. They've always been very helpful whenever I call and ask about a quotemachine shipment. Just keep in mind though that since they're in the middle of their big sale, they might be just a bit busy and the turnaround time maybe a little longer than usual.

According to my tracking information, they received my discs on the 6th. Still no credit here. I called them late last week and they did tell me that they are backed up on processing used discs.

i'd call them back and find out whether or not you'll receive your credit in time to use it during the 20% off sale. if not, then i'd ask that they could somehow take 20% off your order once the credit shows up on your account.

I sent my shipment Priority Mail on 11/10 & finally got credited 2 days ago. Now none of their used dvds are posted on the site. What's up with this outfit? It's one & done for me.

go back a couple pages and look at how fast my last turnaround was...5 business days from my door to store credit showing up in my account.

12/10 - delivery confirmation shows my package arrived at dvdplanet today.

Also FWIW, I've had good experiences with DVD Planet in the past, so that isn't necessarily an indicator of how quickly accounts are credited.

Ugh, I guess there is a delay with the processing of DVD's for credit. I figured I'd have my credit by now but I guess not, which sucks considering I was going to use it for some gifts. Ah well.

I have had many good experiences using DVD Planet's QuoteMachine, but sending your movies for trade-in between Thanksgiving and Christmas is a bad idea if you need quick turn-around. Their warehouse is focus on fulfilling holiday orders.
