Key Post: Where would I find cheap dvds and cds?

.

Tescos is doing a DVD player for €149
It's got optical audio out, s-video out (which the Sony 305 doesn't have), DTS, 3d Surround sound. It's a deawoo. -oh, and it plays DVDs. I just bought one after much research.

They were selling a DVD player for €220 including 50 DVDs

-actually, you can loose! - Dixons are doing the same offer, but the films are @#%$. You get 25 disks with 50 films. I've heard of about ten of the films - which I wouldn't normally buy anyway. If you're particulary fond of robocop, go for it! The DVD player doesn't look much good either...

I've €70 to spend on DVDs I'll actually watch.
 
Play.com

Hi,

Has anyone ordered DVDs from Play.com yet? If so how long do they normally take to arrive.

I ordered some DVDs on Play.com and my order history tells me that they were posted on 13/11/02 and they have yet to arrive.

what comeback do I have if they never show? Can I ring VISA and tell them the goods were not received and not to honour the transaction?

thanks
 
Where would I find cheap dvds ?

i placed an order with play.com and i received 2 of the 4 dvds yesterday. the two i received were posted on 14th november according to my account. the two i have yet to receive were posted a day earlier on the 13th.

what happens if they don't arrive? can i cancel the transaction on my credit card?
 
Play

I've bought loads of stuff on Play. The only reason I get away with it is that I buy the odd George Clooney film to keep my good wife happy.

Never had a days problem with Play. I've had experiences like what you are having. Bear in mind that the post is coming from abroad. At the end of the day they all arrive.

If it doesn't arrive in the next few days contact Play via e-mail before cancelling.

Hi Sarah

This is now the legislation in Ireland in relation to [broken link removed] and it appears that you would have a comeback.

Hi Sarah,

I have also bought from Play.com on many occassions. They are excellent, though the post can sometimes be a tad slow. I think it comes down to the fact that while its P&P free - they are only paying enough for UK shipping, result of which is your post gets delayed ... but you normally do get it (with a label on it, saying postage underpaid or something).

I have also had orders go astray, shipped from both Play.com & Jungle.com In both cases, a quick e-mail and they agreed to send the item(s) again. Items were subsequently received in good time & order.

Regards

Perhaps you might post back again if and when they do arrive. It would be helpful information for other AAM readers.

Best of luck!

Just to update you all (I know you were al on the edge of your seats in anticip..... ation)

The fourth and final DVD arrived the other day, much to my happiness.

So much so I bought another on that brilliant site - A special addition 2 disc version of The Usual Suspects with heaps of extras for STG9.99. That site is just fantastic!!

Even better was when I was in Tower Records on Friday and saw the very same DVD for €34!!

Ha.

I'll never buy a CD or DVD in a shop again!!
 
Re: Where would I find cheap dvds ?

I tried ordering some CDs from www.cdwow.ie but when it got to their payment page I got a warning that the certificate didn't match the page using it. On that basis alone I would not proceed with the purchase. Has anybody else had this problem?
 
cd-wow

Never had any problem using the site though on another thread someone had a problem with the irish site not offering as much as the .com site. Methinks the support for the .ie site may be haphazard.

Suggest you use the .com site. I have actually found that .com can be cheaper than .ie after the credit card company do their conversion.
 
Re: Where would I find cheap dvds ?

Hi Clubman - I ordered successfully from cdwow.ie some time back, without getting any certificate errors. It may well be that their certificate has expired and they just haven't noticed. Maybe a quick mail or query to them might help them to resolve it.

I was amazed to find that they are shipping from Hong Kong & still working out cheaper than most Irish or UK stores!
 
Re: Where would I find cheap dvds ?

No - the certificate is for www.cd-wow.com but the page was secure.worldpay.com (or something like that). Looked fishy to me so I logged off! ;)
 
play.com

3 dvd's I ordered from play.com arrived yesterday, Swordfish, Seven (boxset) & Shawshank Redemption, I spent €32 to get them delivered to my door, I priced them on www.buy4now.ie/dmgdirect/ €71.58 + €4.20 shipping, can any one tell me how they can justify such a markup !!!!!!

Also I priced a book on Amazon.co.uk, cost including shipping €24, I rang Easons here in Galway to see if it was in stock, nope "we can order it but it will be 3 to 4 weeks and with the Christmas we'll be busy and don't really want to do that", can you give me a price anyway, "yeah sure, it will be €63.60"

What is the story !!!!!!
 
play.com

I'm beginning to sound like an advert for Play.com but I just can't believe how much cheaper things are.

I hadn't realised that they have a huge range of dvds not just the popular or bargain ones. I was looking for one specific dvd on a specialist subject and went to amazon to see if thye had it. They did and it cost STG18. I also found another unusual dvd I was looking for here and it cost STG19.80.

I phoned HMV to see if they had it and there the first one was €27 - so HMV was a bit cheaper than amazon because the above price includes postage.

Then by chance I thought I'd have a look at Play and it was there for STG11.99 delivered!

The second one was also there and it was STG14.99 delivered.

Saving myself approx. STG11 from amazon and roughly the same fom HMV.

Long live play.com!!
 
Clubmans problem.....

CD WOW use secure.worldpay.com for credit card transaction management ( huh? ). I know because Mrs M works for one of their competitors. You'll be fine as long as you don't get error messages.
 
Re: CD-WOW

Don't forget to use pigsback.com as the starting point for
CD-WOW - they give 50 piggypoints per order!
 
www.play.com

On play at the moment they have a promotion on the left hand side called Paul Ross hot pick. Each deal normally only lasts a day or possibly two at a time and then reverts to normal price. Its to get you to check the site daily.

Got Lord Of the Rings for 11.99 stg. Thats 19 euro compared to 37-38 in HMV/Virgin. It has since reverted to 16.99 STG.

Harry Potter was 9.99 and is now back to 14.99.

Worth keeping an eye on.
 
Re: www.cdwow.ie

I ordered some CDs from cdwow.ie last evening. ClubMan I received the same warning, but I ploughed ahead!

I received my order confirmation by e-mail this evening. What I find strange is the fact that each of my CDs will be delivered separately. I thought it might have been more cost effective to deliver them together?

This is the worldpay statement on [broken link removed]
