The Complete National Geographic 1888 - 2011 on DVD $39.95 half off online ends 9/22

+ 6% cb.

I caught this email in my inbox, $50% off ends today, 9/22. My email had a graphic that specifically stated Updated to include 2011. When I click on the email, it brings up item #2001482. In the summary it says complete collection to 2011, but in the description it says 2010. But I'm thinking they just forgot to update the description.

You can find it cheaper elsewhere, but it won't include upto 2011.

Thanks for posting this deal, but there is one other thing to remember...the cost of shipping:

United States Standard Shipping (7-10 business days): $7.95 (20% of purchase price)
Canadian Standard Shipping (10-14 business days): $17.95 (45% of purchase price)
Elsewhere Standard Shipping (4-8 weeks): $47.95 (120% of purchase price)

Original Price: $49.95
You saved 50% off the Complete National Geographic!

Is it 39.95 after 50% off? Why is the original price 49.95?? It should have been close to 80. Am I missing anything?

Nevermind, You are right

Sorry. When I got the email i got excited too, but then I realized theres no way the paper copies would be $40.00.

And yea, shipping is $8, but its still cheaper than regularly priced, and you do get 6% cb. When I searched to see if someone else posted this, I did see that last year they had FS, but this year they don't. I assume they may be clearing out for 2012 editions? Maybe if you wait, later on in the year they may offer FS..

Hey NatGeo, put it on Kindle and I'll buy it.

Read the one and two star reviews on Amazon before you buy. These are scanned images--it is NOT searchable, other than by using a rudimentary index. That may be a deal-breaker for some people. They offer this deal every few months, but $40 is about the regular price if you buy it anywhere but the Nat Geo website.
