Default Amazon Pre Order Price Guarantee...

I have a question about this. I ordered I Am Legend last week when it was $24.95. Now it is showing as $18.95. When it comes out will I only be charged $18.95? Or do I need to redo the order to get that price?

Thanks

You can contact customer service and ask them to adjust the price or simply cancel your previous order and and reorder, I prefer the latter.

It's supposed to readjust automatically the day after a price drop. It's worked for me with National Treasure and DVE. But if it doesn't do that for you (as a lot of members have said with IAL) just follow post #2.

You should get it for the lower price.

Incidently, I am Legend Blu-ray is the #1 DVD on Amazon.com

When they ship they'll usually send an e-mail telling you about the pre-order guarantee savings:

e.g. Here's one I got:

Quote:

The price of the item(s) decreased after you ordered them, and we gave you the lowest price.

Another thing, if you pre-order the Goldbox Discount ($23.70) and you saw a lower price ($18.95) then you get the lowest price gurantee ($17.70)! Please don't cancel your Goldbox Discount, cuz the promo are hidden, only you can see your promo. Amazon won't know if you have GB Discount applied or not, but you still get the lowest price gurantee!

i had same problem as it was first ordered at gold box price. ans this was the reply i recieved from amazon so i canceled and reordered.

Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com.

I'm sorry, but I can't accommodate your request to honor this lower price for "I Am Legend [Blu-ray] (2007)".

As stated on our website, "Item prices that are affected by a promotion such as 'Buy one, get one free' are not eligible." When you purchased this item, you received " Gold Box Discount", which makes this item ineligible for our Post-Order Price Guarantee.

As our system is fully automated, it wont allow us to refund the amount of any difference, if a promotion was applied to the item already.

Our Pre-order Price Guarantee covers one or more item(s) in this order. If the Amazon.com price decreases between the time you place your order and the release date, you'll receive the lowest price.

The only problem with doing this is that you get shoved to the back of the line. After doing this myself a few times and getting 3-4 weeks tagged onto the shipping date (actual shipping date, not their projected) I decided that e-mailing them was worth it. I prefer to keep my original pre-order shipping seniority in tact.

The gold box price gets pro-rated... My original Gold Box discount was $1.25 (Based upon $24.95); it was dropped to $ .95 (Based upon $18.95).

No big deal, we're talking $ .35.

I just noticed that the Water Horse is in my preoder list now at $16.99. I can really live with that. Is it just me or does that little creature look like the character from the short lived show Surface?

I also noticed that Beneath Still water was down to $8.95 now it is $13.95, interesting.
