Target General Deals Thread - Page 243 - Blu-ray Forum

If you want a nice slip forget Target . BY far the worst shop for packing , followed by walmart and Amazon , The only plus on amazon is it's coming from their own trucks most of the time and a local warehouse . Anything with Target and UPS or USPS and it will be smashed . Never had a problem with GRUV yet ... I order enough and there always boxed . As for returns , Amazon is the best hands down . Target (orders under $20 sometimes let you keep it and not have to mail back ) and Walmart are easy too . Gruv sucks and you have to mail it back and wait a long time for a replacement . I stopped buying anything from Barnes and Noble and they always packed them in those giant cardboard pack . Hamilton books packs the best of anyone aside from the small boutiques like VS and Diabolik . I have had good luck with Kino when you order a bunch... there always boxed .
Deep Discount sucks , They pack ok , But the worst place for returns & customer service of anyone online . Oldies.com are good and you can talk to a real person in the warehouse who speaks English.
I just did my first order with movies unlimited ... Hope there ok .

Anyone know when the next B2G1 sale will be or might be ?

Target packages in non-corrugated cardboard ravioli. It’s just awful. Other vendors will at least use corrugated cardboard to afford some protection.

Glad I was waiting for a slipcover version and ultimately don't care about the packaging if the price is right.

It's totaling at $16.65 with $5.99 delivery for me. I ordered one anyway because that's still half of what it's probably going to go for, plus Fright Night is a personal favorite of mine.

I have red card so it is showing free shipping for me. Sorry forgot about the shipping charge otherwise.

Huge thanks for posting this! With the red card discount, free shipping and some circle earnings change it came to under $10! I'll put up with a dinged steelbook for that.

bookcase · 09-03-2023, 03:55 PM

My Target had Across the Spiderverse out, so I went ahead and picked up the 4K. I have one coming from their last B2G1 sale, so I'll return that one with this receipt (in-store price is a whopping $32.99!

). I'll get to see it during the holiday weekend and I now have a mint slipcover (which is almost guaranteed not to happen with the one coming).

Not sure if you are aware, but you can get a Red Debit Card as long as you have a checking account. There's no fees associated with it and you get 5% off everything and free shipping. No worries of having another credit card or credit score with all the benefits of the Red CC.

Ari_Gold · 09-03-2023, 07:39 PM

Fright Night 4K says preorders sold out. Good luck to those that ordered it, hopefully no cancellations.

HorrorBlu · 09-03-2023, 07:45 PM

Big thanks to Mean Gene for the heads up, was able to sneak in an order this morning.

I had passed on the steelbook because I feel like I've bought Fright Night at least five times between the DVDs and blu-rays and vowed I wouldn't buy it again, but hard to resist at that price.

A good chance it’s a price error and will be cancelled

In my experience Target has been the best retailer for sticking with pricing mistakes. I've had several go through over the years where Amazon and BBY would have cancelled

Yeah, my local Targets don’t break street dates and often won’t put stuff out on release day.

Jr7936 · 09-04-2023, 04:43 AM
