It also looks like the more expensive the order is, the CHEAPER it gets.

Did a couple of test basket orders: Three 10 CAD titles hit close to 20 CAD (note: I am in the States, but they do Region A titles in Canada, so I do love ordering from there for some good deals). Meanwhile, I did three titles that hit the 15-20 CAD range...and the total price went DOWN. Depending on if you're doing Canada delivery or in the States, a big chunk of the total price will be just for shipping.

Spent $13 and change (after shipping and cost) for Thelma & Louise, This is Spinal Tap, and Trading Places. That's around $4 and change per title...God bless the Canadians (and their leniency on expensive sales) .

Looks like a few of my items are shipping separately. My $0.00 Vanilla Sky order says "Being Shipped Today"....

As for those wondering whether they will honor this or not, no reason not to. If they see there's an error in the system, they'll fix it and honor what came down usually.

I don't think I've had an issue where Amazon failed to honor a price mistake...unless the item took a long while to re-stock or couldn't get me an ETA on its expected delivery.

I can only remember one time that Amazon didn't honor something like this. I think it was some Criterion titles a year or two ago that were marked for around $4 or so. Amazon cancelled the orders and sent out apology emails (and I think some sort of small gift card/coupon code). After that though, any incorrect price Amazon has listed has been honored (as far as I know).

It'd be nice if they honored this deal/error though. Best Boxing Day deal ever!

Amazon.ca have honored glitches in the past but nothing as extreme as this.
I've received "we're sorry but..." e-mails in the past and no compensation in return as well (like say a $5 certificate).

[Steel Panther]

First order was....
Witness
Trading Places
Elektra
Old School
Curious Case of Benjamin....
This is Spinal Tap
Escape From LA
Naked Gun
Naked Gun 2.5

$21.78

Second Order

Marathon Man
Graduate
Chinatown

$0.00

so much for not buying blu rays anymore... but for the cost..

[El Baz]

Looks like the deal is dead or they are fixing the bug.
Just tried 3 more and not getting any discount except the free shipping.

Order total is $42

I think it depends on their bottom line. Criterions for $4 are a huge bath they would have taken given the price they are normally sold at.

But some movies like this that normally hit around $10-15 USD? It's more likely we can get this.

If they cancel the order for me so I get my money back because of their error, I'd be just as content. But if they try to slip a fast one past me, I'll cancel it immediately or dispute the charge.

[TheLaughingMann]

So far, if the deal is dead, I guess the next thing is to see whether they honor what came through or not. Here's mine currently:

Order Summary
Item(s) Subtotal: USD 35.36
Shipping & Handling: USD 10.72
Promotion Applied: -USD 16.12
Total before tax: USD 13.84
Estimated GST/HST: USD 0.00
Estimated PST/RST/QST: USD 0.00
Grand Total: USD 13.84

Mathwise, it isn't lining up because the Promotion Applied is doubled up and doesn't reflect that. But we'll see if this goes through.

I just ordered 21 Blu-Rays for $50.15 all in

[Corey31]

Doesn't look dead to me. Select titles are "Ships in 1 to 3 months" or listed as OOS altogether and go to marketplace sellers by default but you can always change that to Amazon.ca.

[Jr7936]

all 12 now are preparing for shipment

[Steel Panther]

bug is definitely not dead...

Breakfast at Tiffany's
To Catch a Thief
Once Upon a Time in the West

$5.72.

[ArrestedDevelopment]

Ordered 6 blu-rays for $5.87. Don't even really want them but at that price it's hard to pass up. I'm not gonna be riled up if amazon cancels.

[Jr7936]

once upon a time in the west is bakordered though for a month at least, which is why i cancelled the order since i didn't want to wait for a month for everything to ship out

im expecting them all to get cancelled, so I'm good with waiting if they don't...

[paulgeneacepeter]

Ordered a bunch, so hopefully they're shipped. Only good deal I found on Boxing Day.

[TheLaughingMann]

Other than this deal, does anyone recommend any good deals on TV shows?

I don't get paid until the 30th but I am curious if there's any good deals on CAN vs USA for TV shows on Blu.

Still on going for me but the 3 for $30 got different results. When I put 12 in the cart checkout had them at $5.42 each but with just 3 in the cart checkout had them at $3.68 each but like others have mentioned 3 for $25 had them at $1.67 each.

I just made 2 orders of '3 fors' making it 6 titles in total with free shipping for both. I already had the best titles.
