I remember last time I tried Incredibles 2 3D and Solo 3D when there was a 2 for Lxx (L18?) it would not allow Incredibles 2 3D to ship to the US.

I'll just have to keep waiting and waiting. Someday... or some year I'll get them.

Also, what's the part about Amazon UK limiting people to 2 items per order? You mean you can't add any other movies (not part of those offers) if you use either of the existing offers? So Amazon is trying to force everyone to pay extra shipping if they want more stuff in the same order? I hope that's a glitch and not another new change for the worse.

Sorry -- they will only allow one 2 for 18 discount per order. If you put 4/6/10/20 items into one purchase you only get the 2 for 18 price on a single pair and regular price on the rest. Since most of the items are around £10 after VAT removal (so you're only saving £1 for most titles for US customers) it makes even less sense to make multiple transactions at £4 shipping per pair.

At Zavvi -- if you put 10 eligible Disney 3D titles into one cart you get (2 for 18) on all 5 pairs in a single order (one £3.99 shipping charge), but the sales tax add-on drains some of the savings


Sample carts
Amazon UK for 10 item order -- £105.86 (cheapest shipping is AGS)
Amazon UK -- 5 orders 22.07 *5 = £110 (std shipping is cheapest)

Zavvi -- 10 items -- £93.99 + tax (£101 for me, 102.50 for CA, 103.50 for WA)

Thanks for the explanation. I misread your statement as meaning you couldn't add any other titles besides the 2 to the cart. So it sounds like everything is as it was in the past because I think this limitation was there before?

In fact, this now reminds me I was in the same situation earlier this year or maybe it was last year. Zavvi had a 2-for 3D deal and Amazon UK had a 3-for 3D deal. Amazon UK requires 3 items and they have 2 I want (Solo and Incredibles 2). Zavvi requires 2 and they only have Incredibles 2. I'm positive that when 1 of the 2 had a 2-for promo with both Solo and Incredibles 2 3D included, it refused to let Incredibles 2 ship to the US.

So it seems I always end up passing on these because they engineer the promo so I don't qualify. There are a bunch of Disney/Marvel 3Ds I don't have: Aladdin 2019, Captain Marvel, Dumbo 2019, The Lion King 2019, and Toy Story 4. Maybe when they finally add 1 of those to the promo someday (year), I will finally qualify be able to order with the promo.

Also, Zavvi has no way to refine their 72 hour sale list to show only Blurays and 4Ks, so I won't bother wading through their long list of mostly DVDs.

There is a separate 2 for 18 with 3D Marvel titles, including Endgame and Captain Marvel. I ordered those two, plus AOS S4-5 for $44.33 shipped USD.
https://www.zavvi.com/offers/marvel-multi-buy/3d.list

Then at Amazon I ordered Toy Story 4 3D + Dumbo 3D + The Lion King 3D, for 28.05 pounds shipped. They have a 5 pound off 25 pound offer, on top of the 2 for 18. So I got two at 9 pounds, and one at 9.99 pounds, plus shipping, minus 5 pounds. In my eyes, shipping was free (6 pence difference).

I got Endgame 3D and Captain Marvel 3D from Zavvi last month. $24.37 after 6% sales tax (free shipping).

I'll have to see what Amazon UK has.

I got the "5 pounds off 25" offer to work at AmazonUK for Toy Story 4 3D, Dumbo 3D and The Grinch 3D.
But I couldn't get the free shipping at Zavvi to work on a separate order for Endgame 3D, Antman-Wasp 3D and some AOS seasons.
When I change my settings to Stereodude's recommendations, it increases my cart total from 48 pounds to 60.99.

I tried it and it's working for me. I added those two 3D titles and S4&5 of AOS. Free shipping, but 6% sales tax - $44.51 shipped.

Thanks. I'm an idiot, and very busy today. The 60.99 was the conversion in dollars, so it threw me off because I was expecting it would be more. I guess it's less after they take out VAT?

Zavvi doesn't take out VAT like Amazon does. Did you add the titles after making the setting changes? If you add them after making the setting changes it works entirely in dollars and there's no conversion.

[Stereodude]

Bambi Blu-ray (2D) is £6.21 (before VAT removal) at Amazon UK so if you only have two 3D titles, but want to hit the £25 mark to use the MYDISCOUNT5 coupon code it's a good choice IMHO. The UK release of Bambi has DTS-HD MA 7.1 on it and is region free. The US releases of Bambi only have a lossy DTS HR 7.1 audio track.

3D 2 for 18 pounds is back again... Ends Sept. 27. Only one title I need, unfortunately. Perhaps they'll add more later...

Perhaps the other usual promos may also be back?

Zavvi has a few different/additional titles.

Their shipping is $9.99 now though.

Damn. I want TROS and Spidey FFH, but Amazon doesn't include FFH in their sale. And I don't wanna pay the higher Zavvi price (not to mention, their customer service sucks, whereas Amazon UK typically has great service). Ugh. I'll wait several weeks to see if Amazon adds it to their sale... I'm pretty sure they've done that before...

I want the same two titles. The last few times I've ordered from Zavvi during this reoccurring deal, shipping was free. I'm sure not paying $9.99.

I wanted those same titles but I don’t see TROS on the list anymore. I was planning to also order a steelbook so that shipping would be free.

Zavvi has free shipping right now for their birthday celebration. Use ZBDAY for the code.

Of course they don't have TROS on the list anymore.

And Spider-man Far From Home is no longer available either.

Thanks for the heads up on the re-green lighting of the 2fer 3D deals again. Got all the titles I needed to complete the 3D versions available in both collections by splitting them between the two stores:

Amazon UK: Star Wars TROS, and Avenger's Endgame @ 11.035 gbp/disc shipped.

Zavvi: Star Wars TLJ, Captain Marvel, Spiderman FFH, and Antman & the Wasp, @11gbp/disc after applying the "free shipping" discount code @ their site. Note free shipping removed 1.88 gbp from shipping cost leaving 8 gbp as the shipping to South Florida.

Not sure if it's he best deal, but each disc ended up just under $15 shipped, so worth grabbing a few non US release 3d high profile titles

It's back, but the free shipping code expired. Also, TROS is still missing, and they removed a few other titles from the sale... Shows 15 titles in the sale, but it was 17 yesterday, and more than that originally...
