Hollywood Video/Movie Gallery (B+M & Online) Used/New - Blu-ray Forum

Credit for the first post goes to Cinemaphile.

** note: There have been a VERY few instances of dvd's being shipped in place of BD's. 99% of users' orders from this sale have been fine. The problems are mostly due to errant listings in the sale. Note that any disc listed at $4.99 WILL be a dvd, not a blu-ray. **
I figured at over 100 pages and 2000 posts (actually it reached 150+ pages and over 100k views before it got reset) it was time to sort out the info so far. Especially since it would seem this sale may be going on for a while.

• Hollywoodvideo.com and Moviegallery.com (same company/database) is having a sale with all used Blu-Rays for $6.99 and FREE shipping
• Use promo code 25PV for an additional 25% off, making them $5.24+tax
* Code must be entered at screen following shipping/billing addresses. The earlier screen where you enter it is for estimating a total only and does not actually apply it to your order.

• Some do not come up when you select only Blu-Rays in your search. Best way to see the full selection is to include both DVD and Blu-Ray, and sort Price High-to-Low, 100 Items per page.
• Popular titles go out of stock very quickly. Restocks/updates happen with no pattern – random days and times; some minor, some major
* Blu-Rays listed at $4.99 are actually just mis-listed DVD's (based on all received instances so far). Blu-Rays will all be listed at $6.99
• Site often slow and crashing – downtime is only temporary though (they seem unprepared for the sheer volume of orders)

• Digital copies or 3-D glasses are usually NOT included

• Items are NOT on hold while in your cart. If you take too long to check out you could lose high-demand items. Early on when items went out of stock after being added to a cart, they would show up at $0.00 but some still shipped. This appears to have now been fixed so you can't check out with $0.00 items.
• During recent updates, many people have NOT received order confirmations, but orders ARE still processing and shipping

• Larger orders ship via USPS Media Mail. If you break your orders up into smaller orders (1-3 discs) they will ship via USPS First Class and will arrive slightly faster. Orders are shipped with Delivery Confirmation only, so you may not see in-transit updates.
• Some orders are shipping from multiple locations, so they may not all arrive together
• Orders seem to be shipping in random order, so later orders may ship before previous ones
• Discs are coming in Blu-Ray cases (mostly the locking style) with original artwork. A very few (less than 5%) have had reprinted/copied artwork, and a very few (less than 5%) have arrive still shrink-wrapped.
• In a very few rare instances, cases have come empty or with a DVD inside. Check titles upon arrival.

• Customer Service email for problems is help@websales.hlyw.com. Some people have also had luck contacting pamela@goindaba.com, pamela@elistics.com, or jordan@goindaba.com
