Doctor Who - The Complete 1st Series (Ecclestone) [£6.99@Virgin] *Expired*

Ruu_Old

Link here. Surely a misprice but worth a shot. Free delivery I think.

A box set containing all 13 stories from the 2005 series of 'Doctor Who'. Christopher Ecclestone's Doctor is wise and funny, cheeky and brave. An alien and a loner (it's difficult keeping up with friends when your day job involves flitting through time and space), his detached logic gives him a vital edge when the world's in danger. But when it comes to human relationships, he can be found wanting. That's why he needs new assistant Rose.

Rose (Billie Piper) is a shop-girl from the present day. From the moment they meet, the Doctor and Rose are soulmates. They understand and complement each other. As they travel together through time, encountering new adversaries, the Doctor shows her things beyond imagination. She starts out as an innocent, unfettered by worldly concerns. But she ends up an adventurer who, by the end of the series, can never go home again...

Episodes:- 'Rose', 'The End Of The World', 'The Unquiet Dead', 'Aliens Of London', 'World War Three', 'Dalek', 'The Long Game', 'Father's Day', 'The Empty Child', 'The Doctor Dances', 'Boom Town', 'The Parting Of The Ways (Part 1)' and 'The Parting Of The Ways (Part 2)'

Just ordered two copies (one of them should make a nice xmas present for someone). Delivery came to £4.00 in total. Not bad considering how expensive the things are normally

I posted this on the wrong thread but I bumped it for besty for not all is bad

VMD123 gets you 10% off

Edit - maybe more, I got £2.70 off an £8.99 product. Not complaining! Thanks for the link.

This has to be one of the best dvd deals thats ever been posted. Just ordered mine, came to £6.20 including delivery and with the discount. Are they able to change the price after an ordered, in case it is a miss price?

Lucutus

nice find, ordered.

I ordered one too but reading the T&C it does say if the price is wrong they can cancel the order or will contact you. We'll just have to keep our fingers crossed.

Sully

Im not getting free delivery..

Fnz

Fingers crossed here also.

8.8 on IMDB... not bad.

... and just as I'm running out of episodes of Battlestar Galactica.

Nice one, OP and cheers to Myth for the voucher code.

Not holding out much hope though. Old price £69.99? Hopefully they cancel the order rather than charge full price :eek: when they realise the mistake.

They'll either cancel the order or contact us - asking if we're willing to pay a different price.

Same..

Now 'back ordered'. After looking around the Virgin website, it says the following:

What does back order mean?
Back order means that we are currently waiting for arrival of the item in question into our warehouse before we dispatch it to you. This will appear on all orders placed with an estimated delivery time of 3-7 days or 2-4 weeks as well as all pre-ordered items. There will then be an additional 2-3 working days required for Royal Mail to deliver this to your address. Whilst every effort is made to secure your item within the stated back-order period, as we have to order this item directly from the manufacturer on some rare occasions the item may fall out of stock at the supplier, the time frame is unfortunately outside of our control.

Got that too. Fingers crossed.

Got a "Backorder Item Notification" eMail at 7pm yesterday. Price is still £6.29 with promotional discount.

Fnz

Received a "Cancelled Item Notification" on the Doctor Who order.

This cancellation may have occurred for one or more of the following reasons:
- If the item you ordered was out of stock at our suppliers when you placed the order, we will have kept it on back-order with them for a 30 day period. If at the end of that period the supplier still has no stock and is unlikely to get any in, your order is automatically cancelled.

- If you submitted an international delivery address at the time of placing your order, please note that as per our Terms and Conditions we can only ship to addresses in the UK and the Republic of Ireland; we will cancel any orders for other destinations.

- There may occasionally be a problem with your card details or other personal information submitted. If this is the case we will attempt to contact you via email or telephone but if we are unable to reach you we may need to cancel your order. If an order has been placed using a coupon code which is invalid, your order will be cancelled.

- If you require more information about a cancellation please contact us by phone on 0845 277 7447 (local rate call on BT standard tariff); or email at: customerservices@virginmega.co.uk. Our opening hours are 08:30 - 18:00, Monday to Friday. You can track the progress of your order in the 'My Account' section of Virgin Megastores.

Doctor Who - The Complete 1st Series (Ecclestone) £4.29 1 In Progress

Hrm. I wonder if that's down to buying other items around the same time, or if a cancellation is due on my account.

Sully

Here is how it is on my account:-

Doctor Who - The Complete 1st Series (Ecclestone) £5.42 1 In Progress

lizzyd66

Nothing yet - still in progress but am expecting the worst. They have already charged me the postage (as ordered another item which has already been delivered) so must make sure I get that back too!

Yeah, got refunded. Ah well, still got some major discounts from them.

Sully

Refunded here to!

Dear Customer

I am writing to you regarding your order for Doctor Who - The Complete First Series.
This item briefly appeared on our site priced at £6.99 instead of the correct price of £36.99. As soon as we realised the error we removed it from the site, but unfortunately a number of customers, yourself included, placed orders for the incorrectly priced item.

The mistake was an unfortunate, but genuine, one. Our terms and conditions of sale clearly set out how customer orders are processed and we do have procedures in place to deal with such mistakes. However we fully appreciate that frustration can be caused and I wanted to take this opportunity to apologise to you.

Your order has now been cancelled and if you have been billed then you will of course receive a full refund.

We set high standards for ourselves and on this occasion we failed to live up to them.

Once again, I hope you will accept our sincere apologies. In recognition of the inconvenience caused we will be sending you a £5 goodwill voucher that you can use against any purchases on our site. This will be emailed to you shortly.

Kind regards

Bwah hah hah!

Sully

Ruu_Old

Not many places give anything back at all besides an email, fair play to them.

Gulliver

FYI - Just received the boxset today. Was expecting a note about the misprice, but no mention of it.
