    Deep Discount has been one of my dear supply friends for many years. A great store with even better prices! Thank you for the recent shipment of the 3 disc bluray of The Wizard of Oz' for $13.99 and free shipping!!

    Please tell your friend that they are starting to suck majorly.

    I still have orders from the sale that started this thread that haven't been filled.

    But, OK, at least they didn't charge me for those.

    They also "sold" me a bunch of stuff through Amazon marketplace, indicated that it "shipped" so that Amazon charged my card and sent them the money, then, a few weeks later, decided "oh, wait, we didn't ship it...now that we've had his money for a few weeks, let's refund it and pretend he 'returned' the stuff we never shipped..."

    With friends like that, who needs enemies?

    I'm sorry to hear about your troubles. I've always had great experiences with them over the last decade. I've always received what I ordered and for good prices.

    They have been sliding big time the last couple of years. Not to mention the scam $10 refund at the end of every sale.

    In all my many years of mail order buying, I've NEVER had to wait anywhere near 5 months for something. That is incredible!!:shake:
     
  6. Their service and general business practices have declined remarkably in the past eighteen months.:sigh: And I am a customer from when they first opened shop on the Internet. I refuse to consider them for purchases now, even if they are cheaper than other retailers. It would not surprise me to see them close up shop within the next year or so.

    I've been buying from them since they first appeared (as DeepDiscountDVD). I have never really understood how they make money. Their prices are way too low to provide acceptable margins and they don't offer the shopping experience required to become a destination site outside of price.

    But given that, their fill rates seemingly used to be better. Their shipping always kind of sucked--slow to ship, and then almost always by media mail. But at least they seemed to do a better job of shipping what they supposedly had to sell.

    I'm noticing that they don't list some pre-releases I'm looking for that other places list. This is unusual and I don't know what it means.
     
  9. They used to be one of the largest dvd distributors in the United States. That was how their pricing was so low compared to other retailers. They were buying wholesale directly from the studios, cutting out every middleman. The retail operation was merely an afterthought for many years. The website and retail business was bought out by another company a couple years ago, and that is when things started changing for the worse.

    Well, they were bought by SuperD dba ImportCDs who were/are the largest distributors of many forms of media. So there was just a changing of the guard.
