Pinocchio & Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray for $26.98 at Amazon with FSSS

Disney Blu-rays at Amazon:

Pinocchio (2-Disc 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition + Standard DVD) [Blu-ray] (1940) for $24.49
Link: Amazon.com: Pinocchio (2-Disc 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition + Standard DVD) [Blu-ray]

Sleeping Beauty (Two-Disc Platinum Edition + Standard DVD and BD Live) [Blu-ray] (1959) for $22.49
Link: Amazon.com: Sleeping Beauty (Two-Disc Platinum Edition + Standard DVD and BD Live) [Blu-ray]

Amazon is offering $10 off if you buy both together:
Best Value
Buy Sleeping Beauty (Two-Disc Platinum Edition + Standard DVD and BD Live) [Blu-ray] and get Pinocchio (2-Disc 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition + Standard DVD) [Blu-ray] at an additional $10.00 off Amazon.com's everyday low price.
However, when you add them to your cart using the Best Value "Add both to cart" button (scroll down the page using either link above), they are priced together at $36.98. When you proceed to checkout, an additional $10 is deducted for a net total of $26.98 for both.


YMMV on this deal and there is the possibility of order cancellations by Amazon.

DEAL STATUS

DEAL IS DEAD
Now Amazon is not even giving $10 off if you buy both together!
Total for both is now $46.98.

2:46pm PDT
DEAL IS ALIVE AGAIN

7:15pm PDT
DEAL IS DEAD AGAIN
But who knows what is going on. If in doubt, give it a try and check to see if there are any discounts ($10 or $20) at checkout.
Be sure to check carefully because as of right now the pair is selling for $46.98 (no discount).

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered them so hopefully they won't cancel.

Deal must be dead now. The combo-pack is priced at $46.98 and there is no additional discount when I "proceed to checkout."

I just checked my order and it says both are being prepared to ship so it seems they're going to honor the orders (or at least some).

It's dead. Not only did Amazon remove the "extra" $10 discount; now they don't even have the Best Value $10 discount.

Not necessarily, I just placed the order for the $20 discount. Since SB seems to be OOS/Backorder, I did have to initially force a Group Together to get the discount, but then I was able to switch back to "ship as soon as possible" and the discount appeared to go through.

I just "tested" it again (but did not complete my purchase), and the 2 x $10 discounts are working again. What is going on with Amazon?

People might want to check their credit cards. Even though my Amazon page and e-mail says the total was $28.59, I was charged an extra $10.16. I had to call Amazon and they quickly refunded the extra money and said that they were having "various" issues with these orders.

Well, I hope they'll honor the final checkout price I received. I'm not interested enough to buy both otherwise.

Weird -- I just got the shipping notice email, which says $36.98. I went to the order page on my Amazon account, and it says $36.98 under "Total for this shipment" and $26.98 under "Grand Total." The charge isn't showing up yet on my credit card though. I guess I'll wait and see what happens and then call if necessary.

Re: Pinocchio & Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray for $26.98 at Amazon with FSSS

Mine hasn't shipped yet, but I noticed they've broken up the "Best Value Savings" line into 2 lines at -$10 each. Not sure what that will mean when they finally ship. Maybe they figured they might end up shipping them separately due to timing of when each one goes back in stock. Will see in time I guess...

Dispute it thru the CC bank/company, if Amazon refuses to honor the order at the quoted price *and* didn't even bother to ask before changing it on us. If they had just canceled the orders (or asked first), then at least we'd be saved the hassle of returning it, if we don't want it at the higher price.

I just printed a hardcopy of my order invoice w/ the extra discount (and also saved a copy of it to a web archive file, ie. *.mht) for evidence. My order still hasn't shipped yet though, so maybe they'll just end up cancelling mine.

Re: Pinocchio & Sleeping Beauty on Blu-ray for $26.98 at Amazon with FSSS

No reason so far to think they won't honor the price. Several folks who have emailed (or better yet called) the CSR have gotten the proper credit.

It took me 3 emails over 3 days before I got them to acknowledge a problem in the charges, but those who call seem to get pretty immediate credit. I'm still waiting for the official credit to hit my online CC, but I have an email that says I'm entitled to the price and I never had to resort to anything more than just copy and pasting invoice amounts and informing them of the erroneous CC charges. I would have called, but I really wanted to see how far the email system would be able to drag out the issue. Mine was complicated by the split shipment and the discount was left off of the second shipment though the total invoice showed the full $20 off. I probably should have just left it as a single shipment to simplify life, but I wanted Pinocchio a bit quicker and SB wasn't in stock (it finally arrived today).

Amazon has been pretty good in the past about owning up to the occasionally glitch or price mistake even when it was significantly more than this promotion as long as it's their merchandise -- the Marketplace sellers are far more likely to just cancel the orders.

Sorry for the late comeback but Amazon did return the overcharge. They had the extra money back into my bank account the day after I called so the service was top notch.

No worries -- I emailed Amazon and they responded within a couple of hours that they were crediting the $10 back to my card.

Long Dead -- basically turned into a 12 hour price mistake that Amazon honored to their credit.

Not quite as good a deal, but if you are interested in Bolt Blu and want Pinocchio Blu also, then at Toys R Us you can buy both for around $35 with the $10 Disney Credit (Bolt + other) and the $10 off coupon from the other thread.

Personally I think Bolt is a more interesting/fun movie though certainly not quite as historically important as Sleeping Beauty.



My CC refund was posted on my account today so everything is fine.
