Up to 24% off Virgin Megastores Website

I felt this needed it's own thread. Yesterday there was a misprint for the Dr. Who series 1 box set and I found a voucher for (appartently) 10% off, but I'm just after re-checking it on the Godfather trilogy (£10.99) in Virgin, and it's giving me around 24% off. So, you add £2 on for delivery, and you would then, in this instance, get the Godfather trilogy for £9.89 (approx €14.23).

None too shabby! The voucher to be put in is VMD123. Virgin's website is here: https://www.virginmegastores.co.uk/

Excellent stuff Myth.

Hmmmm.. Guitar Hero III for about €76!? I'm there!

But everytime i try and checkout, i get 'An Error Has Occurred' screen! Bah!

Same error, but it's still gone into my account. May be higher then 24%, just got £2.80 off a £8 + £2 delivery purchase

Edit: Didn't get the error on the last bit. I think the error comes from you being logged out. Check your account to see if it's been processed.

2nd Edit: Yeah, got errors on some things. It seems dependent on whatever product you're looking to buy. Was trying to see if it'd work on the Orange Box there

Basq

Yeah, thought it might be a delivery restriction on Guitar Hero due to it's size. And that was preventing it getting further.

But added 'The Simpsons' for Wii and getting the same error.

Will try again tomorrow.

Just tried adding the same items I just 'bought' and got the errors. Perhaps I broke it

Seems to be a problem with it recognising you being logged in when you go to the checkout. The 'Hello X' by your account details disappears.

Will also try again tomorrow and report back.

Back working on Internet Explorer for me... Orange Box for £24.30 (€35), same as on Steam (give or take). Hrm.

Here you go

Basq

Yep, works fine on Safari.

Was about to order Guitar Hero III and spotted two items which appear to be the same but a fiver in the difference. Anyone explain?

Guitar Hero III or Guitar Hero III?

Will investigate further and buy it tomorrow.

It seems to be 10% off the item + free delivery (£2).

Ah yes! That would make sense so

Dman001

So is it £2 delivery for everything?

lizzyd66

It is normally £2 per item - just off to try it myself. Free delivery and 10% off sounds a bit of all right!

indiewindy

Thanks OP just picked up house season one for about €15.50 got £3.20 (26%) off it at £11.99 plus £2 for postage. Great stuff:)

It says "free delivery on everything" on their site... then mentions £2 delivery (for each item) on the checkout screen... but doesn't charge for delivery.

That was my experience anyway. I was, however, using the VMD123 code (cheers Myth ).

indiewindy

Its free delivery if you live in the UK, same as with hmv and blahdvd

Gran Hermano

Thanks OP, managed to pre-order both Mass Effect (LE) and
Assassin's Creed for the 360 for just under €50 each inc shipping.

mad m

Excellent, got a couple of Wii games for the kids for Xmas......Worked out €15 cheaper for each game than here.

Actually its €25 cheaper for each game!!! happy days

Dman001

How much is it for the Xbox HD DVD add on?

Mr E

Nice one.. got Basquille's previous recommendation (Scene It for X360) for £26.40 inc. delivery. I knew there was a reason I was holding back

That is a very interesting point. I might treat myself (again).

CH3OH

thanks . got some DS games for xmas - 2 new releases for 54 euro

Zaph

Nice one, just pre-ordered season 3 of Entourage for £14.40 including postage after £3.60 discount. Works out at around €20.70 as against €24.99 on PLay.

Thundercracker

I got a pre order for the Transformers DVD that cost me €15.53 but with the Red Dwarf sale currently happening you can get all the seasons (individually, with extras) for €8.90 each

Yellow Dog

Anyone received their goods yet?

I saw codes like this before for Virgin, but they only honoured the discount when a Virgin Credit/Debit Card was used.

I hope this is not the case,

Not sure orders will arrive that quickly - there is still a huge backlog of mail to be cleared resulting from the UK postal strike. I am still waiting for an order that was dispatched on Oct 17.

From the Virgin site:
The Royal Mail network continues to recover from the recent industrial action although clearing the build up of mail is taking longer than expected due to higher than normal levels of posting after the strikes. We understand that this is still having an effect on some orders that were placed as far back as the beginning of October.

I received this today for one of them:

Thank you for placing an order with Virgin Megastores on 03-11-2007. Your order number is X.
A list of recently despatched items in your order are shown below.
You can track the progress of your order in the 'My Account' section of Virgin Megastores at https://www.virginmegastores.co.uk/userlogin.jsf
Your Contact/Billing Details

That was for the godfather trilogy, so that'll tell ya

Edit: Yeah, it's jumped into the "completed orders" section and is saying it is despatched. Sweet.

CH3OH

I was actually charged the full price for an item I ordered , even though the discound appeared to have been applied.
Might be worth checking your credit card statement.
I have sent them an email and am awaiting their response.

Gran Hermano

I used the discount to place two orders - Mass Effect and Assassin's Creed -
just checked my online Visa statement and it looks like I was charged the
correct discounted price as indicated when I checked out. Not bad for
less than €49 each.

Zonda999
