Deep Discount DVD 20% Off Sale! (1 Viewer)

[Dillon*G]

I placed my order 11/16 and received it 11/19.But I used 2nd day deivery.

Last time, it was the Led Zeppelin How The West Was Won DVD that did that. They wouldn't believe me when I tried to explain it to them. This time, they don't carry it anymore.

During the previous %20 off sale, I noticed I wasn't getting either order, or shipping email confirmations. After going back and forth with DDD via email, I was finally told that I would need to opt to receive "all" emails from DDD in order to receive confirmations. I went to a page to "Opt In" and selected "yes".

Guess what? I now receive all of DDD's email advertising, but still no confirmations of any kind for my 3 new orders. Of which, 2 now indicate "complete".

Well my mom just got her Little House on the Prairie sets today. I was surprised how fast they came. She ordered on Tues night (16th) got a shipping notice on Friday and they showed up this morning (sent via free shipping). Under 1 week from order to arrival, not too shabby. She's in northern WI about 10 hours from Chicago so that probably helped... Now if only MINE would show up.

I received Order #1 last Friday (free ship) and Order #2 yesterday via expedited ship. So far with just a few on backorder, only 1 floater to return out of the bunch. Not bad.

I took the plunge and order the first 3 season sets for Farscape on multiple DDD orders, and received season 1 today, and I could hear multiple floaters, so I think I'll just stick to buying the Farscape Starburst editions which hold 7-8 episodes per dual double-sided DVDs per package in order to watch the series at roughly half the price of the season sets at the 20% discount sale price from DDD. So, I'll be shipping back all three of the Farscape season sets I ordered.

Funny story...

I lost my Visa debit card a few weeks before the DDD sale, so I went to my bank to get a new one. A shiny new card arrived in the mail a couple days later. I used that card to place my order at DDD during the sale. Unfortunately for me, everything I ordered was out of stock at the time, so it wasn't until about a week and a half later that the first item shipped (they ended up shipping each item separately).

Well, in the meantime, my bank realized they had screwed up the manufacturing of a lot of debit cards, and issued me a new one (with new number). By the time I got my new card and the old card got deactivated, three of the four items on my order had been charged and shipped--no problem there. But the last item didn't get charged and I got an email from DDD stating that part of my order was cancelled.

I thought I was out of luck on that deal (The Office Complete Collection for $35.xx), but I called DDD today and was able to get the CSR to resubmit the order with the sale price with no hassles at all. I upgraded to priority mail on that one so it'll be here before Christmas. Awesome. I was quite impressed with their customer service (I figured there would be no way I would get that price again).



(still waiting for media mail to deliver my copy of Spirited Away; my Kurosawa box set and An Evening with Kevin Smith have already arrived).

My experience with DDD customer service for those sorts of things has also been pretty good.

 

[Citizen87645]

I got the last item in my order today!

 

[Grant H]

I think I got the last item in my order Monday. It's bad when you get so many movies in the mail they all blurr together.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

My last item (Happiness of the Katakuris) arrived a couple of days ago -- but one of the insert clips AND part of the hub had broken off, and the disc is scratched so badly that there are practically chunks taken out of it!

 

[Grant H]

That's the only thing I hate about buying movies online. So much easier to return to B&M. If you email them (or call for speed), I think they'll send pay the postage for the return.

Last time I returned something I didn't get the email offering such until I had already shipped it back.

 

[Patrick Sun]

No kidding, stuff keeps showing up, and I ask myself "I ordered this?"

 

[Michael.M.C]

Email DDD. They will email you a return postage slip. Return it to DDD and they will send you a replacement. I have received DVD's like this from just about every online merchant. (Brick and morters have this problem as well. I shake every one before I purchase it. Until new packaging is developed it will continue)

 

[Yohan Pamudji]

I've received 4 separate shipments of DVDs/boxsets (5, 1, 3, and 2 titles respectively) and I still have 3 DVDs on backorder I guess I'll have a Merry After New Year celebration when I finally get all of them.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Thanks for the tip! I do exactly the same thing when I buy in a store.

 

[Grant H]

I do that as well. What's funny is every time I do it, I'm reminded of the days I did it with VHS tapes to avoid broken cassettes.

 

[GarySchrock]

I always get funny looks in the store when i hold a dvd box up to my ear and shake it. I've gone through too many B5 sets not to do it though.

 

[Yohan Pamudji]

Lots of DVDs will spin on the hub and make a worrisome vibration when you shake the case, but when you open it you find out that the DVD is just fine. This is probably the only time that grip-of-death hubs are desirable.

 

[Grant H]

I get paranoid that people will look at me funny too. I don't so much shake them as I do flip them over to listen for a DVD falling or rolling from one end of the case to the other.
