I think it was called the "Mega Sale". I used to buy so much during those sales. They stopped that a long time ago and now they only offer at most a lousy 15% off.

That “Deep Deep” must have been before my time. When I first bought from them many years ago the DDD was Deep Discount DVD. I don’t remember ever seeing Deep Deep Discount.

As for the early sales, yes, I remember those, but I also remember in those days that many mainstream DVDs and Blus were much more expensive than they are now. So the current 15% is not often really as paltry as it sounds by comparison. The math sometimes comes out even. But in those days shipping was free for every order and there was no tax and that makes a difference.

It wasn't ever named that.

I had two backorders from their Olive sale cancelled recently but I also received an email from Ebay the same day that they too were having problems with authorizing my card and would remove it from their system. I assumed it was my credit card because it was two different websites but it turned out everything was fine on my credit card’s side.

I thought I'd hit the Twilight Zone with that post. Thanks for confirming.

I ordered Arrow's Limited Edition of Graveyards of Honor along with another title from Deep Discount a while back, and not long afterwards the listing for Graveyards simply disappeared from the DD site (presumably because it's a LE and all DD's copies have been sold?). Graveyards continues to display in my order history though, while the other title I ordered in the same order has already shipped out to me, so do I just wait now until DD finally cancels Graveyard or do I contact them?

Members on here have said how great this site is and how they ship rage or orders asap. Will my order hasn’t shipped and they haven’t even given me a delivery date. This is another retailer I can cross out.

Oh your poor soul. Please just go back to Amazon. People have told me that after awhile you don't even notice the taste of Jeff Bezos' ass.

Members don't generally call the site great, but it's often the cheapest place to buy boutique titles and occasionally TV seasons. They're not known for fast shipping at all, though it's improved in the last couple of years pre-COVID. Most sites are packing and shipping orders out more slowly due to the pandemic.

DeepDiscount is a solid retailer. If you don't need an item right away (and let's be honest, none of us here really do), then placing an order - even if it's on backorder - does mean you'll get it. I've never had an order DeepDiscount has failed to fulfill. Those B1G1 Olive Films sales are always a blast!

Kellz · 11-28-2020, 03:50 PM

ive never had an issue getting my stuff from DD, even if it did take a couple days longer.

It seems no retailer can get LOTR or The Hobbit set delivered by release day. If it’s not shipped by Monday or delivered by release day I’m going digital until I can get it in stores.

Personally haven't had any issues with Deep Discount as a company. I haven't gotten an order in through them since June of this year, but any order I have placed always comes in not damaged and in one piece. If I'm trying to get something on release day I'll just do in-store pickup via Best Buy / Target, but that's just me.

Deep Discount have a big ole "Please be advised that your order may take longer to receive due to carrier volume issues and increased processing time due to pandemic protocols. Thank you for your understanding and patience." warning on their website, so it's good to keep that in mind when ordering through them.

Will I paid an extra $10 for fast shipping and the lady told me that it will take 3 to 5 days. I just canceled my order one less place to do business with.

Batman90 · 11-30-2020, 10:08 PM

So supposedly my ordered shipped but neither tracking number is working. Anyone have this issue with Deep Discount and what are the chances of me getting this tomorrow?

I have ordered from Deepdiscount several times over the last 3 or 4 years (Usually during their BF/Cyber Monday Sales) and never had a problem with them.

You just need to realize that the shipping business right now where it be USPS, UPS or FedEx are getting swamped with all the Black Friday purchases from the past two weeks going out all at once that coupled with "Rona" protocols are likely slowing things even more.

I ordered some stuff when they were having a sale a couple of weeks ago on the 17th and it arrived 7 days later on the 23rd.

I ordered some stuff from Best Buy this past Friday the 27th and its not scheduled to arrive until Saturday.

You just got to give it time.

I did that and not saying anything other then pre shipments they said it’s been shipped though.

trekky76 · 12-10-2020, 05:00 AM

Got the same issue now. Two orders still stuck at pre-shipment but the third was delivered already. USPS got some major issues now. Had a look at reddit.com/r/usps_complaints/ - it's a bloodbath!

TheLaughingMann · 01-09-2021, 02:41 PM

Ordered 4 seasons of Lucifer on December 4th, shipped the 5th...went from Kentucky to Pennsylvania (my state is Delaware) in the course of over 1 month. And I still haven't gotten my delivery. It moved between 2 PA facilities in the course of over half a month, and has not updated since 1/3.

But here's a gag. That order's shipping Media Mail (snail mail). Meanwhile, I score Tremors (Limited Edition) for $25 and change, and they ship it First Class Priority mail (which carries a 3-5 business day delivery time on it). Currently due to be delivered today, but it also is showing with a tracking delay.

Seems like if you don't get something that is considered priority, you're going to be waiting long enough that any potential exchange on damaged/non-working goods will run out.

Heck, I don't even wanna think what the cold weather is gonna do to my items over the course of several weeks of exposure.

Meanwhile, FedEx, UPS, and Amazon's own delivery services are running nice and efficiently.
