Columbia House Blu-ray Deals Thread

[Slave2Blu]

As I promised a few nights ago I've created a page that will update nightly the current enrollment titles for CH.

http://cultofblu.com/ch/

This is a work in progress. Right now it's just a list of titles linked to the CH page. Next feature is to sort by date the title became available for enrollment. My goal is to make this update nightly automatically. Right now the DB is local on my development station while I'm tweaking the data collection. So things are not automatic yet.

If you have problems reaching the domain then it's still propagating. Just updated the nameservers this afternoon but it works for me.

You knew what you were getting into when you ordered them, the phrase "too good to be true" springs to mind here.

well when you read about a multiple members receiving the OOP titles makes you feel a little lucky too, you cant blame us for thinking were going to get lucky as well

Letting me order the American Graffiti release in exchange for my cancelled selection was really awesome of them.

that is a really sweet deal i was going to do the same as you when i switched Hot Rod out for another movie but i chose Godfather pt2 instead just cus im hoping to get lucky and receive the one with a slip since you cant find it with slip any more in stores

Once it has been shipped how long does the shipping take usually?

Adding to my current reputation of being impatient.

A big thumbs up; thanks for taking this task on.

Awesome work. Thank you!

This will be particularly helpful for people that are thinking of opening a 2nd account like me.

Finally my 1st enrollment order (4-17-11) is "shipped" with an actual date! 8 BDs, on their way.

Both my 2nd & 3rd orders (4-21-11) Arrived today. 2 BDs + 4 'free' DVDs.

No bubble wrap or any type of packing material which can be problematic as you know. Luckily both BDs are fine; N by NW & Bridge on the River Kwai.
2 of the DVDs are also fine; The Mouse That Roared (surprisingly this OLD movie is in an eco case) and Lifeboat (with a slipcover.)

Unfortunately, 2 DVDs arrived damaged.
Frankenstein 75th Anniversary & Dracula 75th Anniversary

Both these DVDs arrived with the plastic case completely unglued from the cardboard covers. The plastic glued to cardboard is the same style as in both digibooks; N by NW & Bridge on the River Kwai. So both cases do not function & will not close. The cover is now completely separate from the 2 plastic inserts that hold the DVDs. I can see the brittle, broken glue dots (8 for each DVD) Also, the Dracula discs had come loose because of this & disc #2 is badly scratched.

I've emailed them for replacements. I have never seen this type of damage. The shipping boxes were undamaged.

Honestly, i should have the right to be annoyed with CH right now because ALL of my selections on my two accounts say backordered right now. Does that mean that my movies are STILL backordered or are they in stock and put to the side but not shipped or what? I emailed asking for clarification on this and all the guy who replied could muster was, * we are experiencing a short delay with your order *. What the hell kind of response is that? I get that people have been being jerks and making 5, 6 and 7 accounts but that is not my fault.

So just now, i sent a very direct email asking does the slight delay mean a few more days, a week or a month if all my titles are truly not in stock.

Just got my enrollment titles and am looking to complete my contract. Any good codes out there to use?

[runnersdialzero]

Everybody needs to calm down about their orders. CH is swamped! If you were paying full price for all these blu rays, I could understand being upset. But you are looking at a maximum of $65 for 9 movies. You can't beat that.

Just be patient. Some people may have to wait a little longer then others. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

sorry to be off-topic, love your avatar: "Gentle Giant" rocks!

[wormraper]

well, my 2nd enrollment order shipped today (with date) is anyone else getting this error though when trying to check out???

"Due to technical difficulties, we are unable to process your order at this time. Please try again later. We apologize for the inconvenience."

[growler]

You got that straight, BillyJack!

Not too many know of this awesome band.

Yes, shipped with no date means it has not actually been accepted by carrier. Returned usually means that the box or label was damaged and it had to be repackaged before actually shipping out.

strange, I thought CH was no longer handling Fox titles?

[chele519]

One of my accounts is showing shipped 5/3. I went back in the thread and found mention that the enrollment order was shipped media mail but fullfillment orders may be streamlite? Has everyone had theirs shipped 2 different ways?

Yeah, they tend to use Media Mail for the Enrollments to be the most cost effective for themselves.

It's a MGM title I believe.
