The Invaders (26.79) ordered for $21.44.

Also ordered Dr. Quinn season 3 (hey, it's for my sister!) for $24 (it's discounted to $49 at Amazon).

Happy Shopping!

P.S. - I forgot to add ... please submit other codes as you learn of them. Thanks!

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

Since the sale doesn't include pre-orders, I'm holding off 'til next week when "The Fugitive" season 2, vol. 1 is released, but will be picking up "The Invaders," "Mannix," and all three seasons of "I Spy;" each season of "I Spy" will be less than $11 shipped! "Mannix" is currently in the #5 sales slot for all DVDs!

Actually, DVD Planet has the cheaper price on seasons 2 and 3 of I Spy. Since both are having the same sale, it's best to compare prices at each to see which has the better deal.

Oh I hate you. And my credit card hates you

Anyone know any huge uber bargains right now? (Since it's thanks to fine people on here that I picked up Brisco County for 75% off a few months back.)

Here's a longer list of usable codes submitted by Chris Gerald on the HTF Bargain thread:

DDAF
DD1109
DVDTALK
USATODAY
NYTIMES
SUPERSALE
DDDCD
DD1110
DVDPRICESEARCH
LATIMES
ESPN
YAHOO
JIM
WGN
PRICESEARCH

The reason you might need additional codes is that a code can only be used once per sale, so if you go back again between now and June 22 and want to make additional purchases, you have to enter a different code. I have friends who lump all their picks into one purchase, but I'm always remembering something else I want and going back again. Or, since you can only order stuff in stock, you might be waiting for releases coming out next week (Fugitive Season 2, Vol. 1) or the week after. Costly, yes. Fun for DVD hunter-gatherers, heck yeah.

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

Spent 3 hours trawling the site and looking at stuff, putting it in my cart... Ultimately didn't spend a dime as I had to stop and consider whether I actually NEEDED, say, the Space 1999 Megaset. (A steal at $60.)

So my credit card was spared the horror. Kinda disappointing really as there's nothing I really WANT right now. The few shows I'm collecting I'm up to date on. No major movie sets or anything I want right now either.

Ho-hum...

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

The only set I've ordered so far has been a Columbo- 4th season (didn't own any seasons of this yet, so I figured it was time).
I will be getting Fugitive S2 V1, and even though I know I won't bev watching it before the Nov. sale rolls around, the enclosed movie pass with The latest Hulk sets brings the practical cost of those down to $15. I may as well pick up S3 since I was planning on seeing the movie anyway.
It's hard for me to justify getting many TV sets this time around. I just have too many from previous sales unwatched, and I'm watching the msrp's fall on them from sale to sale as they just collect dust on my shelf.
That said, I may pick up the first Dark Shadows Beginings set as I'm blowing thru the other sets I have of this show pretty quick now, and those will be sold off as I finish them.

Picked up Battlestar Galactica season 3, Equalizer season 1 and Three Stooges collection. I had a credit at DVD Planet. Actually ordered Wild Wild West season 3 and Untouchables season 2 at Amazon where it was cheaper at 50% off.

So the codes won't work for pre-orders even if the DVD is coming out during the sale? I was going to pre-order ER S9, but I guess I'll have to wait until release day (the 17th) to order it.

Roni,

That's correct. That's why I usually place my DD order during the last couple of days in the sale. Mine are loaded up in the "cart" waiting for the 20th

You could still order those titles that are currently available now using one of the codes posted by Hollywoodaholic in post #6 and then use a different code for the DVD that's coming out on the 17th (each sale code can only be used once). But I'm with Jeff, I also have a title ("Brenner") that's not being released until next week and I'm simply holding off to do a single order.

Picked up the new Stooges set and the MST3K movie that was released a few weeks back. That's probably it for me. BDs are STILL too expensive, even with 20% off!

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

Since we're heading into the 2nd week of the sale. I was curious as to how you all are doing with the DD sale.

I have 11 TV/DVD sets & 1 movie in the cart with 1 a big "maybe" (Fugitive S2V1) & 2 "on the fence".

EQUALIZER S1
LOVE BOAT S1 V1
WILD WILD WEST S4
UNTOUCHABLES S2 V1
MATLOCK S1
BURKE'S LAW Not sure yet.
BEWITCHED S6
MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE S4 On the fence here; 50/50 either way.
THE INVADERS S1
RAWHIDE S3 V1
MANNIX S1

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

My orders have mainly been movies, but as far as TV-on-DVD goes, I purchased:

RAWHIDE: SEASON 3, VOL. 1
MUTUAL OF OMAHA's WILD KINGDOM: Definitive 50-Episode Set
I SPY: SEASON 1
THE FUGITIVE: SEASON 2, VOL. 1 (before I found out about the soundtrack change)

And from DVD PLANET's identical sale:

I SPY: SEASON 2 (a bit cheaper than at DD)
I SPY: SEASON 3 (ditto)

Due to a possible pricing error, I managed to nab MANNIX: SEASON 1 from a local Blockbuster Video store the other day for a slightly cheaper price than either DD or DVD PLANET's sale prices.

I couldn't wait on THE INVADERS: SEASON 1; I pulled the trigger on that one in May, before the sale, knowing that I was going to order a lot of other stuff from the sales anyway. It was worth paying a couple of dollars more just to be able to watch it a little sooner (shipments from DD and DVD PLANET to my mailbox seem to be much slower than they used to be).

I also ordered THREE STOOGES COLLECTION 2 (1937-39) from DVD PLANET, and will be ordering POPEYE COLLECTION 2 (1938-1940) from DEEP DISCOUNT, although I don't really think of those as "tv shows", any more than I think of the Tarzan movies of the 1930s-1960s as a tv show, even though they were bundled together into a weekly tv syndication package, in days of yore.

I ordered a bunch of stuff from the sale right out of the gate on June 5 and still haven't received any of it? Anyone else in the same boat? That's more than 10 days. I don't remember waiting that long during previous sales.

I placed an order last Tuesday and haven't even received a shipping notice yet (though my order is on their web site). I'm just chalking it up to a high volume of orders that DD gets during these sales and I'm willing to wait a little longer for the added savings.

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

I mention this in some other posts, but from now on I'm going to pay the extra three or four bucks to send future orders vis UPS. I don't know what's going on with the Post Office, but I'm fed up with orders taking two extra weeks to be delivered. If its because of Fuel Prices (I Know, it's a Pain in the @$$!) fine, raise your rates accordingly. Dragging your heels isn't going to win you any customers!

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

wonder if all the flooding in that part of the country is causing the post office to change up their flow routes?

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

Media mail is the last to be loaded at any given distribution point, and is always subject to being bumped. With the higher fuel prices, I wouldn't be suprised if the PS is running fewer shipments, and trying to maximize each shipment...in turn pushing the media mail packages farther to the back of the line more often. I'm sure the floods aren't helping either.
With that said, I just received 5 packages today of various sizes from my first 4 orders from DD and DVDP. These were all shipped on different days, which to me suggests a backlog of media mail at certain points which retarded the flow of ones shipped first at the same time allowing later shipped packages to 'catch up'.
So...just be patient. they'll show up eventually. What makes me even happier than finally starting to get them...was finding everything in excellant condition and well packed.

re: Deep Discount sale is ON! (Spring 2008)

I am still waiting for an Order they supposedly shipped out on June 5. I have given them an Ultamatum, If I have not received the Package by next Friday I will lodge a Complaint with the Better Business Bureau. I have not had this kind of problem with them before. If there is a Delivery Problem they should say so on their Website. If the Post Office is having Problems I would rather pay the Extra Money to ship it by UPS or Fed-Ex, knowing I can find out what happened if there is a delay, not to mention get my package considerably faster. I have participated in many of their sales before, why are they having problems this time?

On your shipping notice there should be an estimated delivery date range. Has the latest date already passed? My orders came smack dab in the middle of their estimated arrival.

The Late date for the first package passed yesterday. Now a SECOND Package has missed it's arrival date! (Prior to this latest order they were quite punctual on their arrival dates) BOTH PACKAGES were supposedly shipped out BEFORE THE FLOODS so I do not know why they are being held up. I was contacted by them and told to wait until June 25. If I have not heard from them by this date there will be H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS TO PAY! As it is I DO NOT RECOMMEND PLACING AN ORDER WITH THEM UNTIL THEY CLARIFY THE SITUATION!

It's not DeepDiscount's fault. They ship it by Media Mail, which is what you "pay" for (pay is in quotes since it's free). Once they ship it, it's up to USPS to deliver it. As other people have pointed out, Media Mail packages are only loaded on the truck when there's room. It can take a week for the package to make it onto a truck. How is that DD's fault? If you don't want to order from them anymore, that's fine. I'm sure other people (myself included) will continue to take advantage of their cheap prices. More in-stock items for us.

As for your packages being shipped before the flooding, I'm sure the floods are still affecting it. The packages were in transit when the floods hit. How would they not be affected?
