Page 1 of DVDSOON:Shipping Charges Are Back

DVDSoon are charging for shipping again.

Yes - they did warn they were coming back - I think it`s actually a ploy to spice up their "Fidelity iCard" scheme they`ve got (pay annual sub and get free shipping and discounts). It`s annoying, because I spotted that they`re doing No Doubt`s video compilation for just over a fiver, but you have to add postage now...grrr....

Well, it`s still supposed to be free shipping if you`ve got the infidel card

That`s a good idea pay dvdsoon $50 before you receive a DVD. Anyone know how many DVDs you would have to buy to recover the outlay. (pre 01/01/2005)

for me it was five boxsets for $40 each (5xdiscount of $10=$50). plus i had more on preorder anyway.

and btw i can`t see where they are charging as all the new orders i am trying to place now have free shipping still applied.

Fair enough no more DVDSoon for me. I guess they calculated that they would lose a certain amount of UK business but always have the option to restore free shipping if they are losing too much.

> btw i can`t see where they are charging as all the new orders i am trying to place now have free shipping still applied.

If you have the Fidelity iCard and are logged in, you get free shipping, otherwise $4.98 CAD shipping is added to your order at the checkout. Considering some DVD Soon stuff is only $7.98 CAD, I think the shipping is going to kill off a fair chunk of their UK orders.

Sad to see the free postage go, myself - but it`s hardly worth their while when people are ordering a single cheap DVD and they`re having to send it across the globe for free. And considering most kept the number of items in an order down to avoid customs, it`s really no surprise they got wise that`s it`s probably not economicaly sound to send £17 worth of merchandise transatlantic in 5 parcels for free... ;)

CA$ 4.98 isn`t going to break the bank if you order a substantial item. I agree though, it makes ordering their famous CA$ 6.98 DVDs redundant. :(
