use the $10 off coupon and now you've got a better deal than amazon.com!

Jan 26th, 2009, 08:11 AM
34.99 plus that border deposit plus exchange rate
so 50 is not bad and for new customers there is a bonus http://**********************/s/happy.gif

After shipping, import fees and conversion, this is the cheaper price. I'm tempted, but war has never been my genre.

I know this is a forum to get the best deals and save money but...
It really gets annoying to see people post "Oh that's not a hot deal at all - $10 off coupon doesn't count" OR "I'm just gonna wait till it drops another $20"...
Seriously? This is $45, CDN, FREE SHIPPING, for a BLU-RAY box set for a hot tv show.
How much do you expect this to go for? $10? Good luck waiting 10 years at the Wal-Mart bargain bin. I think I'm going to enjoy this NOW while I can, rather than wait a year for it to drop 5 bucks. :mad:
Sorry for the mini-rant. Having a bad day at school.

Jan 26th, 2009, 12:30 PM
nice price, came to $44.75 for me after the coupon and tax (12%), free shipping of course.
Had been waiting for a good price on this set, loved the series when it originally aired and haven't seen it since.
Have never used this amazon coupon, didn't think it would work since I paid with MasterCard (since the code says its for Visa) but was pleased to see it work.

$45 actually, unless you've got some crazy other tax other there in B.C. ;) Remember, there was no shipping fee since even with the coupon it was over $39.
It's $86.95 now, ouch.

Ordered from Amazon.com last Tuesday (January 20) and it arrived Friday (January 23), I'm in Ontario, so wonder if the Canadian Amazon will be the same or better.
Lucky. I ordered from Amazon.com on Tues Jan 20th as well.... but still no Band of Brothers BluRay for me :(
