Yeah and, being an iCard member, I feel a bit "cheated" by this. Free shipping was one of the hooks to join the iCard scheme - I`d resisted until they started offering 2 free DVDs (with one of them being "The Incredibles" in my case), at which point, the deal did make financial sense (I`d bought 19 DVDs from DVD Soon during 2004).
One wonders if they`d lost out a lot more order volume (particularly for international users) because of the non-free shipping vs. iCard users getting free shipping and decided to make the shipping free again.
Having been burned by this, I`m now very reluctant to renew for 2006 - no 2 free DVDs then and the likelihood they`ll pull this stunt again (i.e. shipping costs for Jan-Apr 2006 to lure iCard users in, then free shipping May-Dec 2006 once they`ve got them snagged). This could backfire for them during Jan-Apr 2006, because they`ll be several months where iCard users won`t renew and *also* won`t buy anything from DVD Soon until the shipping goes free again - that`s what I`ll be doing if the scenario plays out this way!

they lost us as customers they day they messed us about, put an order in for an item INSTOCK they took payment, weeks later hadn`t been sent, sent email no reply, time went still "pending" they all of a sudden the item became discontinued, emails them then they said yea we sold out, so why did they take payment in the first place,
to top it all off, it cost us money with the bank, paying for the item in $ then getting refunded in $ so in all we lost over £1
will NEVER use them again, we stick to dvdimport cheaper faster and FREE postage, there even post friendly ;-)

Thats worrying as I currently have a dvd on order thats described as in stock on site but in the orders list as on order and this is a dvd that was only released in march 2005. Plus as you say they have already taken the money
