Any deals for TNG: Movie collection? - Blu-ray Forum

TheZoof · 09-18-2009, 07:17 PM

I see BB and FS are selling for $63.99.

Any place cheaper than that? I think I might order from Amazon.com as it is $45 US which is cheaper after conversion.

Gotta factor in the Import Deposit fee too and shipping.

I was looking at buying some of the recent 9.99 Blu-rays from amazon.com but after everything was tacked on there really wasn't much of a deal any more. Abolish the Import Deposit Fee I say!!

Items: $45.99
Shipping & Handling: $7.98
Pre-order Guarantee: -$0.00
Promotion Applied: -$0.00

Total Before Tax: $53.97
Estimated Tax:* $0.00
Import Fees Deposit $6.05
Order Total: $60.02

$60.02 US is going to be only slightly less than the total at FS/BB.

Someone posted links to amazon.ca a few days ago, but the links are dead now.

They had one set for $53. Their site no longer lists a price.

Steve46 · 09-19-2009, 12:31 PM

Argh, I want this.

You quoted a post about amazon.ca so there's no duty with them. With amazon.com there is no duty either but they charge that Import Deposit Fee which eats away most of any savings. I have done dozens of Blu-ray orders from amazon.com before they added that fee and can verify there is no duty and you will not be charged any taxes on delivery as long as you choose the cheapest shipping method. The actual shipping and import deposit costs from amazon.com are listed right on your order page like the one I posted earlier in this thread. You won't pay anything except the total they give you in $US so there are no suprises with costs when buying from amazon.com into Canada.

Future Shop now has it for $59.99. Best Buy now has it for $69.99

Wonder if Costco or Walmart have it for less.

Has anyone checked out Star Trek TOS S2 or The Next Generation collection yet today at Walmart or Costco? I didn't get a chance to stop on the way to work this morning.

i woulda been all over this myself, but the g/f says she wants to buy it for me as an early bday present. i told her costco would likely have the best pricing.

I just got back from Walmart.

Neither was on display. One of their staff checked the computer and said the Star Trek Season 2 price was $89.99 and the Next Gen movies were $69.99.

Seems high so he may have been wrong.

I'm going to buy from FS this morning and price match any drops within the next 30 days.

Yeah that's not the same way it worked with TOS S1. It was on the shelf at 9am when I bought it and they had lots of copies. It was labelled at some rather high price but scanned at the lower one ($60 I think). That's too bad if they don't have similar pricing on S2.

So with the Amazon.com import fees... does that mean you'll never ever be hit with duty fees?

Does that mean that Amazon gives that $6 or so to the government, or what happens to this "import fee" money?

Yes, it guarantees that you don't pay any other fees.

No idea what happens to the money.

TheZoof · 09-22-2009, 11:25 PM

You have to remember Costco is really $57.99 + membership so really it isn't a great deal LOL

Futureshop has it for $59.99.

But most likely you have the membership from before. The membership really pays for itself since they are alot of great deals at Costco. I don't think anyone is going to buy the membership just to get the set for $57.99

or you just use a friends/family’s one. My issue is the FS DT did not have any copies left. BTW did they have ST:TOS S2 and what was its price?
