    I Ordered, got the Same as everyone Else Sent a Email saying, Ye are a F**king Disgrace BURN! and i got a 5 pound voucher a refund and shippin it aswell so there actually paying me a fiver :)

    thats probably the single greatest story ive ever heard....:pac:
    your actually getting paid to take the thing!... unbelievable!....
    maybe starship troopers just sucks alot more than i remember and they want to get rid of all their stock. Could all be some kind of elaborate poorly run marketing scheme to get us looking at cdwow more often to see if they have any other "mis-prices".....:confused:
    ..................................Touché CD-Wow!

    *edit

    Basquille, legend of a find sir!

    Yeah major thumbs up to Basquille.

    Although I will have to go and buy a BluRay player now :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 318 ✭✭kellsred


    Dispatched email received also.
    Still not registering though, I mean, they are doing something worth praise for a change?

    Cheers Basquille btw


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,774 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Cheers lads.. got my despatch notice also.

    CDWOW.. what a great bunch of lads. Cheating, thieving and their day-to-day dealings could barely be considered legal.

    But hey, we all do love free Blu-ray's! :D

    Probably the best result in a BA in a long while.. and it's from CDWOW. How is that possible?!

    also got the confirmation, looks like a freebie :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Got the confirmation

    Wont believe it till its in my hand and I'm 100% convinced they haven't/won't charge me for it

    it was the 6th time they've cancelled an item on me due to alleged unforseen stock issues so I guess I'm owed one, cheers OP for the good spot

    Yeah, exact same here...
    Made the payment via paypal, so it's not like they can charge me for it now. I'll take back some of the stuff I said about CDwow if this actually arrives... Can't believe they're honouring this after refunding everyone...

    Almost seems like this was planned to get them some free positive publicity via word of mouth...

    Lads.. I'd recommend checking your Paypal / credit card accounts as listen to these comments over at the HUKD forums:
    Mines been despatched too, and just checked my bank account and £4.49 has been charged for it.
    Make sure you check your paypal accounts properly, they do re-take the £4.99- see here;

    14 Jul. 2009 Temporary Hold By PayPal Placed -£4.99 GBP
    14 Jul. 2009 Refund for order 452071473 Refund From CDWOW.COM LTD Completed £4.99 GBP

    Seems they gave the refund, then instructed PayPal to hold the £4.99 to pay for it now they are to honour it???

    Strange as it says £4.99 when I ordered at £4.49? Still not complaining, £4.99 for a £54 blu-ray box set can't be bad. Mine has been despatched too.
    my paypal still shows the refund as the last transaction

    edit: oops i take it back

    :
    13 Jul. 2009 Add Funds from a Bank Account Completed Details £4.49 GBP
    14 Jul. 2009 Refund Completed Details £4.49 GBP
    14 Jul. 2009 Temporary Hold Placed ... -£4.49 GBP
    No hold put on my refund went straight back onto credit card


    13 Jul. 2009 Charge from Credit Card Completed Details £4.49 GBP
    15 Jul. 2009 Refund Completed Details £4.49 GBP
    15 Jul. 2009 Credit to Credit Card Completed Details -£4.49 GBP

    Maybe it's becaiuse you used a bank account as source fund.
    Mine never got refunded but its been dispatched.
    Mines been despatched too, and just checked my bank account and £4.49 has been charged for it.

    It appears to be different results for different people. Haven't checked my account yet - going to do it now. I mean even if we were charged the £4.49, it's still a helluva bargain!

    EDIT: No activity on my Paypal account from CDWOW since July 13th (and that was the refund going through). As below:

    82143387.jpg

    Oh wait.. am I reading that wrong? It appears to be the refund first and then a charge. I think I have been charged the £4.49 alright.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭podge3


    No payment taken from my account ... yet :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,783 ✭✭✭heebusjeebus


    Nothing taken from mine either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    maybe there's different laws that they can't do that to irish buyers but can do it in uk???

    I used paypal too...

    Jul. 14, 2009 Refund for order 452070941 Refund From CDWOW.COM LTD Completed Details £5.49 GBP

    Jul. 13, 2009 Payment To CDWOW.COM LTD Refunded Details -£5.49 GBP

    So I *think* I've been refunded.


  • Registered Users Posts: 128 ✭✭daveyid89


    checked mine there... no charge put on it yet anyway....


  • Registered Users Posts: 676 ✭✭✭Tweaky


    I was never given a refund - so I have paid for it also

    i guess if they never refunded you, they dont see why they would need to give you it free of charge as goodwill... as they never cancelled?....

    I did get the cancellation email like everyone else. I ordered off the .ie website as it was showing up as £ 5.49 on the .com and € 5.99 on the .ie.
    Still I'm happy enough with getting it for €5.99

    should be getting it for free so... but if your happy with it, then maybe dont rok the boat... it is cdwow after all.. i would be happy with just a fiver as well,,.. gettin it free is a nice bonus though


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,774 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Actually.. my credit card statement lists only the original charge (on the 14th) and the refund (on the 15th).

    Nothing else.. so might actually be free after all!

    I paid with a refund voucher from a previous CDWOW funkup and they refunded the voucher and are sending the item to me!! :D

    Thanks BASQ. ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    anyone got theirs yet???


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,774 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    anyone got theirs yet???
    This is still CDWOW..

    I'd expect a 'Starship Troopers 4' before it arrives..


  • Registered Users Posts: 128 ✭✭daveyid89


    anyone got theirs yet???

    no sign yet....
    interestingly, check this out
    http://www.cdwow.ie/blu-ray/Starship-Troopers-Trilogy-Starship-Troopers/product/view/3807435

    they way lowered the price again......, not quite as low, but still a bit of a bargain... should this be a new thread in the bargain alert?


  • Registered Users Posts: 43,774 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Wahey.. this arrived through my letterbox about 8:10 this morning:

    Schweet!
