Dam, 3 days short for Seinfeld s5 and s6. Bummer.

leprechaun said:iceweasel said:I think the key point is... are you getting the discs cheaper than anywhere else? DDD deserves a break.
That's the key point for you, but even if you have it tattooed on your forehead it won't change this fact: They raised their prices on many items the day before the sale, and then posted on DVDTalk that the price increases had nothing to do with the sale. Any argument you make about low prices will not make this any less of a lie.

You can't dispute facts with blind loyalty, no matter how hard you try.


Let me just clarify this... I don't disagree with you. I just look at it from a different point of view.
Personally in the past 3 years there's been these "glitchs" days before a big sale. I can't see it as a mistake. I'm not thinking there was some issue this time, it's just that folks are now keeping track.

If they lied they lied, I won't argue if that's true or not, I don't know the facts. There are a lot of assumptions and a lot of "I read it, it must be true" feelings out there. I trust the dvdtalk folks, if members there say it's true, than I believe it.

DDD may have been throwing out a bone to calm the angry masses with pull down SOME of these jacked prices. I don't know, it's all speculation.


That said there are three very simple things to remember here:
1) This is business there's nothing fair about it.
2) DDD isn't in business for you, they are in business for themselves. If they do jack up prices on 10% of the inventory you buy at those elevated price well... bad consumer.
3) Are you paying less than you would anywhere else, no tax and no shipping are big when you think a $15 is $20 after tax and shipping.

If your bottom line is the driving force then the answer is simple, go where the price is the lowest. If you're one of those that doesn't shop at places like WalMart because of the business practices... well, DDD may not be the company you should support.

For me, I'm on fatwallet because I'm a well informed consumer (errr, frugal). If DDD saves me money, I'm happy. I could care less that joe's copy of SammySixShooter was jacked up before the sale. Bottom line, if DDD's price is more than others then I'm not buying it from them.

I wanted to order the Director's Label Box Set Vol 2 which has been out since Sept but they have it as coming out on 11/22 so it's not eligle for the 20% off!!! I emailed them Monday about this, waited all week for a reply/change but it doesn't look like they will. Sucks, I've been waiting for this yearly deal to order that boxset.

Argh. Lost my password (or my password I wrote down doesn't work), and their retrieve password doesn't work. Is God trying to tell me I shouldn't get the A-Team, Airwolf, and MacGyver boxsets? :/ I want more than the two Stargate seasons I got earlier ;_;

Got the TWILIGHT ZONE-1ST SEASON at 12:00 AM, codes dead now

telstar said:I still contend this place has the crappiest order-management system ever. Ordered a few days ago, and it's still sitting in processing or some crap like that.

I totally agree. I ordered a week and a half ago. Got an email over a week ago that it supposedly had shipped. As of today, still nothing! For the savings of a dollar or two, I should have just bought at Amazon!

Do these folks not use Delivery Confirmation? One of my orders has shipped but there's no tracking info.

If you are an informed buyer, you should already know that DDD doesn't have the best customer service or on time delivery. But they do have great prices. Maybe you should have read some reviews before buying from them. If you had, you would have expected this instead of complaining.
