General UK Deals Thread

[levcore]

Wish the offer had more items, struggling to find one i really want, let alone two. I already have Roger Rabbit on blu and haven't watched it in years so i can't really justify picking up the 4K just because its cheap. Somewhat slightly tempted with Deadpool but meh, already own the blu and don't really watch it often either. I love Independence Day but read a lot of criticism of the 4K, or at least i think i did.

Average per disc, er, £6.34.

By the way Chip... 2.30 am -- nice spot.

I think the moral of the story is to watch out at 2am for Amazon deals and glitches

Was watching Tomorrow Never Dies on Prime, waiting for House of the Dragon to appear on NOW TV and spotted the expired deal on one of the deal sites, I thought I'd see if there was still some offers to be had.

Shame the bug isn't on the other promos.

I had Turning Red for £17.27 and Luca for £18.14 and ended up paying £7.47 (including s&h). My discount was £30.82.

So I had:

Luca £11.99
Turning Red £17.13

Sub-total: £29.12
2 for £20 Promotion: -£18.24 (2x the £9.12 it should have been)
Total paid: £10.88

Yeah I think I got lucky when I got them so got two good movies for 2p, very happy

Went again and got Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Unbreakable for £12.51. At these prices it's hard to say no.

[OgamiittoMcJ]

not sure if I want any of these, think I missed best deals now anyway

funny they have some that are available for only £5 and £6 anyway
wonder if anyone dumb enough to order 2 of those for £20 lol

Fortunately Amazon is kind enough to not allow you to do that. If your total for 2 is less than £20 you just get charged that total.

That's the spirit. Thinking of this place before sleep.

Which two? I just tried Deadpool & Dumbo Live Action, £6.88 & £5.75 and when I went to checkout it quoted £12.63, not £20.

Are you sure they weren't third party sellers? Postage to Belgium is less than £3, I cannot imagine it's higher in the UK.

[Sifox211]

Little I want, but two that I did were Toy Story and Mulan (animated) - the two for £10.02 shipped

Edit: Free UK postage!

I just hope you guys are considering the impact this might have on Jeff Bezo's margins.

The guy that owns HMV would be crying into his soya milk if these bargains went by undetected on his site.


They're dispatching 1 at at a time by the look of it. How hard can it be to just use a single box instead of several mailers. Madness. They were all in stock too.

I have and it gives me great satisfaction.

I'm more concerned about my own margins than his. I just ordered a second batch today - Unbreakable and Kingsman for around 10 euros including delivery. I suppose he is a pound or two poorer because of it. Its not the first time they screw up promotions so obviously the person responsible hadn't been sacked.
