Deep Discount DVD
I've been looking at their site and all I can say is wow so far. The biggest one that caught my eye was the Farscape Season 1 box set for 90 bucks. I was just curious if anyone could recommend them or tell me reasons not to order from them? Another point I should add is that I live in Canada.
Thanks
P.S. I wasn't quite sure were to post this, and if this is the wrong room then I apologize in advance.

I think this isn't the right forum, but either way...
DDD is very good. However, their free shipping takes (for me) over the highest number they give. So, they say it may take 14 days, and it usually takes 15 days (not counting Sundays). But, the $5 shipping is prompt, and it's flat. So, 1 DVD is $5 shipping, and 7 DVD's are $5 shipping, which is convenient if you're buying bulk, unlike other places. However, if you order multiple DVD's, and some of them are in stock, and one of them is a pre-order, they will be sent via the free shipping. Take that into consideration.
Returns are quick and there isn't a lot of hassle (like Buy). If you call them on the phone, they are pretty helpful.
Buy and DDD are the main retailers I use. I cringe everytime I have to use Amazon or BN because of their crazy prices.

I just looked and I have placed over 20 orders with them in the last year and I've only had one return (floating disc) they are cheap and efficient. Much better than most online retailers in my experience.
I use the free shiping option but I am only about 2 1/2 hours away from DDD's warehouse so it takes about 4 days for me to receive my order.
You know, Fred, if you keep your sense of humor like you do, you just might make it.

I've been very happy with DDD when I use an online etailer. I always take the free shipping, as I can wait and no sense offsetting the lower price by paying to ship when I don't have to. Shipments usually arrive pretty timely for me.

I've spent THOUSANDS at DDD, and made quite a few orders from DDCD... both excellent sites, and since they ship from IL, it only takes 2-3 days to get orders to me!

Well, I'm glad to hear good things about Deep Discount. In the past few days, I placed two large orders. My only complaint was that they do not describe the DVDs well enough or are not totally accurate. For example, with Iron Monkey, they list under language only English. However, I'm almost 100% sure that the version they have can be played in the original language with English subtitles. Customer service didn't know but are supposed to email me with an answer.

I will throw up my 2 thumbs up for DDD. I have had about 8 or so DVD's ordered through them and I love them. No probs whatsoever. Top class.
I think Lasersedge.com has the best website, so I usually do all my looking up and referencing on Lasersedge and then order from DDD.  They usually end up being cheaper than ebay sometimes due to the free shipping. |
