I live in Canada, so I was ordering off of deepdiscountdvd.ca. That is until I went there today, and noticed this:

This happened a couple days ago. Really pissed me off because I was hoping to order Doom Asylum from there.

Yeah, no more free shipping.... blah.

So does this mean that we in the USA will finally be able to order, say, the Canadian Ginger Snaps DVD from them?

No more free shipping? Fucking assholes!!

Good thing I made my order a few weeks ago and got it shortly thereafter, I guess

JW77 · 01-14-2007, 06:34 AM

Presumably, only Canada is losing the free shipping option since they're shutting down their ".ca" website and merging it with the US one.

I have heard rumors that this merge may mean the end of the 20% sales...hope it is just a rumor.

bigdaddyhorse · 01-14-2007, 06:50 AM

Does the US still get the free shipping opition?

Still says FREE SHIPPING! on the ad for the new site.

I wonder what effect their 20% sales have had. I tend to only order during that period now, which can't do their profit line any good at all.

old-boo-radley · 01-14-2007, 12:05 PM

Generally, I think it's less a merge, more of a closing down the Canadian site. At least in my opinion.

The damn thing is no Canadian sites have free shipping anymore, and the day before I get back into DVD buying, DDD Canada shuts down! Just my luck.

EDIT: I mean free shipping on one title and a competitive price.

The new Deep Discount site is up and running.

They deleted my wish list. I don't know whether to curse them or thank them!
