Does anyone know where I can get Manon des Sources and jean de florette cheaply

Hi,
Re:Manon des Sources and Jean de florette
They are french films sold in places like HMV on the high street and to my horror online at around 19.99 each.

I tried getting them from www.amazon.fr but they do not have refer-a-friend there so I could not get them at a discount.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

RE: www.video-now(or not as the case maybe0.com

In British law it i enter into a contract (offer and acception of that offer) they are legally bound to supply me with the goods, unless there are other factors e.g One party forced the other to enter into the contract, so why is this different? I am going to find out about American laws on this.

Clayts -The shipping dates for fight club and tarzan are tommorow, I am glad yours arrived, will keep you posted!

Oh ye back to the video-now stuff, when they refund me the money if the exchange rate is different I could lose some dollar on conversion back, if so they will feel my wrath!

RE: www.video-now(or not as the case maybe0.com

I just complained to them about there crap service and they cancelled my bl**dy order! Are they allowed to do that when I have already paid, I made a contract, I know under british law I could do them?

can you send amazon vouchers `refer-a-friend` to yourself?

Does anyone know if you can send amazon vouchers `refer-a-friend` to yourself?

If i use a different bank card, or do they catch up the same name, address, just different card thing?

www.video-now(or not as the case maybe0.com

Don`t use www.video-now.com, I ordered bug`s life for 12.72 with them over a month ago, they billed me straight away and it is STILL on backorder!

They are useless, and they`re customer servise stinks to, they seem to just cut and paste the same crap everytime I ask them a question.

Anyone else had problems?

I was Triumphant- proving that you get want you want if you keep trying!

Cheers Clayts!

For those of you who don`t know Jungle had tarzan collectors edition and fight club dvd`s for £9.99 then they removed them - but denied them ever being there!

Here is the last email I sent to them:

"Dear Customer Sales Representative Manager,

I think this is ridiculus, so far I have had been dealt
with by: Gemma Dalton, Matthew Nicholls, Esther Latham and
Manminder Singh Bahra, all jungle customer service reps.
The problem is they seem ill informed of my correspondence
with other representatives. For example Gemma Dalton wrote:

>"Please can you confirm the date of when you put these
items in your basket and also when you submitted the order".

I have already explained my story many times and it seems
to me that no-one wants to give me a response.

This is the last email I expect to write to you, I will now
give you a history of events and I expect an appropriate
response.

22nd April 2001, around 13:30ish:

Whilst browsing your site saw tarzan special edition and
fight club dvd`s for £9.99inc VAT each in your `Jumbo
sale`. Thought was excellent so placed them in the
`shopping basket` and went to get my credit card. When I
got back they were priced,in the basket, at £19.99 each!
This is no bargain so I did not buy them, consequently I
emailed your customer services advising them that I should
be offered the dvd`s at the price it said on your website.

24th April

Got email back asking a few questions about where I saw the
offer etc. To which I replied with the appropriate info.

The same day I got a response from Matthew Nicholls who had
obviously not seen my previous emails to you, explaining
the dvd`s in question had been removed from the jumbo sale.

I replied, again explaining my problem and asking for the
dvd`s to be offered to me at £9.99

Later that day, I recieved a shocking response from Esther
Latham who indirectly accused me of lying by saying that
the dvd`s were NEVER advertised in the Jungle Jumbo Sale at
£9.99 inc vat.

As you can understand I was very upset by being accused of
lying so I replied to that email explaining that I would
not go to the trouble of sending all these emails if I was
in the wrong. I also explained that I thought I knew
someone who had managed to buy them at the price of 9.99
inc VAT (at the price Esther alleged they were never at!)
so I would find out the relevant info and pass it on, so
that you could offer me the dvd`s at this price you had
them at in the sale.

25th - I did indeed send the relevant info ( the name of
the person, a screen grab of his screen with his order
details of tarzan, fight club at 9.99inc vat etc) proving
Ester wrong on all counts. I was very annoyed as no-one
had approached the topic of offering me the dvd`s at
9.99inc Vat.

26th today - I received an email from Gemma asking me about
my problem to which I have already had to explain too many
times. I received no apology and no ammendment to your
problem.

SO in light of all of the above, I hope we have established:

a, You (Esther) were in the wrong in denying they were in
the Jungle Jumbo Sale, as I proven.
b, I have wrongly been accused of lying
c, I have be severly put out by you, lack of, customer
services.

I hope you will ammend the problem of the Tarzan
Special Edition and Fight Club dvds, by offering them to me
at £9.99inc VAT each and apologize for your inappropriate
responses and your failure to to do your duty as `Customer
Services`

I expect no less than your full understanding and
cooperation,
Regards

Mr C Williams"

Power to the people!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the one I just got back:


"Dear Mr Williams,

Thank you for your email of 27/4/01.

After much investigation with our buyers I have determined that for a
brief time only and indeed on 22/4/01 both Tarzan and Fight Club were
available for the special price of £9.99 each,including VAT.

This was a limited batch of stock at this special offer price.As a
result of this the products sold incredibly fast,hence stock possibly
selling out at that cost price before you tried to submitt your order.

If you had submitted the order on 22/4/01 we would have been able to
amend the prices for you to £9.99 if you had contacted us directly and
advised us of the situation.

As a gesture of good will,due to the confusion caused please place an
order for both of these items and confirm by return your order number.

I will then amend the prices of both Fight Club and Tarzan for £9.99
each,including VAT for that order.

Many apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced regarding this
matter.I look forward to your response."

Oh yes!

RE: Um bungo, um bungo, they sell cheap DVDs in the jungle- or they just lie!

Hi there, just to say I have still not heard anything back from jungle about the dvd`s, as usually they have replied the same day,- they are obviously looking into this one. I hope that is good news for me!!!!!
Chris

RE: Um bungo, um bungo, they sell cheap DVDs in the jungle- or they just lie!

Thanks, I am now going to accuse them of calling me a liar and demand that they give me Tarzan and fight club at the price they advertised 9.99!!!!

After a home cinema system around £200 can anyone recommend one?

Have seen the Sherwood #####rds (dts and dolby digital compatible) in Richer Sounds for 199 it looks good!

RE: Um bungo, um bungo, they sell cheap DVDs in the jungle- or they just lie!

Clayts you`re a star, send it to wjc0lm[at]ku.ca.htab!!!

RE: Um bungo, um bungo, they sell cheap DVDs in the jungle- or they just lie!

Clayts, I emailed them and they asked me if I could give them the details of your order, i.e order number, I guss, so they can `proceed` with sorting out my order, I would never pay 19.99 for dvd even if I was desperate!
If you don`t mind could you email me at 99wjc[at]moc.liamtoh so I can prove these liars are wrong!

RE: Um bungo, um bungo, they sell cheap DVDs in the jungle- or they just lie!

I thought I had to aswell as tarzan but they came up in the shopping basket as £19.99 even though they were listed at 9.99 in the jumbo sale, I emailed jungle.com explaining this and got this reply:

"Dear Mr Williams,

Thank you for your email of 24/4/01.

Please be advised that after tracking the details of Tarzan and Fight
Club DVD`s I can confirm that these items were`e not offered for the fee
of £9.99 in the Jungle Jumbo Sale and are indeed £19.99 each Including
VAT as quoted.

Many apologies for any inconvenience caused and if I can be of any
further assistance,please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards

Esther Latham
Customer Care Team"

hmmmm

Could someone confirm they actually ordered one at 9.99 so I can p*** on their fire!
Thanks chris
