Me either. This was on their Facebook page: "We had a pricing error on a number of titles on our website. Unfortunately, we are unable to honor the orders placed for those items. We will be in touch with affected customers in the next 24 hrs. We sincerely apologize for the error."
Friendly reminder that you can use that discount code on pre-orders too—just placed an order for the forthcoming New Age Steppers box set from On-U Sound...
On-U just announced it a couple of days back so I was surprised to see it on DD so soon. Can’t wait to get this one!
looks cool, thanks! My orders were cancelled they gave me $5, so picked this up for under $10 shipped!
This is a must have. I ordered one, as well as a 2 CD Sleeper anthology (for $3.99!!) and a 2 CD Ro-d-ys compilation (not in the blowout bin, but I love these "Golden Age of Dutch Pop Music" discs) to get me over the hump for free shipping. The Sleeper Inbetweener [Import] United Kingdom - Import on DeepDiscount Ro-D-Ys Golden Years Of Dutch Pop Music [Import] Holland - Import on DeepDiscount
Package arrived today. Ordered Jan 4th received on the 13th. Not bad. I’ve had some orders take 3-4 weeks from various vendors since covid.
Yeah that Sleeper is absolutely great for that price. They also had their comeback album in the bin for a while too—might have to grab that one too if it is still around.
Got the $5 email yesterday. Still not pleased. BB has honored equally large misprices in the past; DD is huge and can afford it. Waste of 2 hours at best. On the way to pick up my Amazon Hayworth box for about 40 cents more.
The comeback is a surprisingly solid album (this from someone who wasn’t much into them at the time, beyond a couple of the singles).
Yeah, kind of silly imo to completely dispose of them due to not accepting the clear price mistake. I'm happy with the $5 personally and i'm sure i'll get plenty of other solid deals in the near future as well like I have been getting for years. BTW if you are done with them you need to also be done with Popmarket, importcds, CollectorsChoice, CCVinyl etc.
Yep. I'm VERY AWARE of their empire! They put a lot of mid sized net retailers out of business by TEMPORARILY selling below cost. Best Buy historically has honored price errors. SOW, odd that BB & others had similar pricing. Apparently based on posts, BB did fill orders until they ran out.
Yeah, I've followed deal threads on the net for years so I learned long ago how to tell the time with these price mistakes especially with the larger retailers.
Wait a few weeks, another discount code will issue. My guess is Valentine's Day. Perhaps President's Day.
Browsing get_importcds on ebay, which is the same company, I've seen some prices actually cheaper there than on DD even with the 15% off.
i get bi-weekly e-mails from popmarket encouraging me to check out their "closeout crate", which as we all know is the same thing as the blowout bin. but never anything new. i'm still trying to get through the pile of crap i ordered during the last sale.
