'Lost' R1 DVD for under €40 from CD WOW!

Basq · 2005-08-29 12:54:30

Best be quick with this! Already cancelled my order with Amazon for this instead. Simply use this link with no vouchers - it's 20% off the current price!! (normally £31.99 on CDWOW!) Can only do it with one item per time! No customs / import taxes for me! :D PS - Thanks to acquiescefc for the heads-up!

LOL, the fun and frolics continue with CD WOW!

I emailed them telling them to cancel both orders I made...and the responce I got:

Hi

Thank you for your recent order - it is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately I am no longer able to cancel Lost as we have had confirmation from our Warehouse that it has already been shipped.

Therefore, please return the order to the following address:

CD WOW!
Suite 2 Gregories Court
Gregories Road
Beaconsfield
Bucks
HP9 1HQ
UK

We would be grateful if you could enclose a note with the returned item, clearly stating the order number, your name and email address and the reason for return (i.e. refund).

As soon as it is received back in the office I will immediately process a full refund back to your card.

I have now cancelled Half Life as requested and processed a full refund.

Your custom is greatly valued by us and I sincerely hope you will want to use our service again in the near future.

Regards

Michael

Only got my Amazon.com one (dispatched a few days before the release at the start of September) and only arrived last Thursday. Pretty poor for Amazon; they're usually much much quicker. No customs as usual, though and not bad for €35. But for the length of time I was waiting, I'd nearly have been as quick with CD-WOW.

Interesting. Been doing a bit of a check-around and lots of work colleagues seem to have similar issues with post coming in from the UK (even personal packages). An Post are barmy if they think we'll take a superior speed Irish service at the expense of a poorer international one...

Well.. i think most have gotten theirs. But as far as i know, the link i posted for the 20% off doesn't work now.. so my opinion:

Go by CDWOW if you wanna pay a bit extra but get it sooner.

Or go by Amazon if you want it cheaper but wait about a month (unless you pay for the express shipping.. which runs the risk of customs).

Your choice..!
