I just got an e-mail from DeepDiscountDVD.com saying they shipped my season 4 set today, which means I should be getting it soon!!! I am so excited! I need to hurry and get my spring projects done so I can sit down and watch it! Hey, B&W Fan! You out there? It's almost here!

That's great news Lolac!

I got mine from Amazon.com, so I have to wait to get mine until next week. Be sure to let us know how it is!

Pentimento · 04-23-2004, 11:33 AM

I'm jealous. How come you get yours before Carrie and I do?

Maybe Amazon will come through a little early. They still have the estimated delivery date as May 6-8, but their estimates are usually a few days later than the actual delivery.

Not that I'm complaining. Amazon.com has been a real godsend for me. A few months ago I pre-ordered a copy of a 1982 PBS production of Sondheim's Sweeney Todd that I'd been trying to get for over a decade (I just missed getting a copy on laser disc in 1994 after it had gone out of print, and I'd asked Amazon to notify me if it ever came out on DVD) and it just arrived -- a few days before the estimated release date. I love Amazon.com.

Carrie · 04-23-2004, 01:25 PM

I love Amazon.com too. I get EVERYTHING there. I can usually find things that aren't anywhere else. It's great! Season 4 will probably ship on the day it's released. At least that's the way it was with 1,2 and 3. Sometimes they surprise me though.

Lolac,

I'm here, thanks for asking. It's just that my internet activity has been greatly curtailed since moving in with my folks while I await the completion of my new home (should be done by the end of May). The connection I'm on now is so slow compared to my former cable connection, so I'm unable to bounce around on the web as much, and thus my limited postings here lately.

I got the same email confirmation from DDD, and am also anxiously awaiting my set. Based on our locations, I assume you will get yours a day or two before me. Let us know when it arrives.

For those of you using Amazon.com, let me just say that while I still use them occasionally, I've switched to Deep Discount DVD because they ship pre-orders out about 1 week ahead of schedule. Amazon usually waits until the official release date to ship, and it usually means waiting a good 7 to 10 days longer to get a current dvd. Plus, DDD is usually as cheap as it gets on most everything!

hello everyone! I cannot wait for season four as well. About the above post having said that DeepDiscountDVD was about as cheap as it gets: samsclub.com is selling seasons one though four for only $39.99 each. Actually, only the first three seasons are available now, but season four will be available for purchase on the website the day it offically comes out; it only takes about 4 days shipping, if shipped standard. I just thought that those with samsclub cards would like to know. I am not sure how much season four is at deep discount dvd, but it is probably more than samsclub's price.

Christina E · 04-23-2004, 08:10 PM

I ordered thought Deep Discount DVD, and I received my Season 4 set TODAY!

I'm on my way to watch it!

Deep Discount DVD rocks!

Good to hear from you, B&W Fan! I knew you had to be lurking around out there somewhere! Glad to hear your house is almost finished. That will be a relief to you, I'm sure. I'm jealous of Christina E! She already got her set, but I guess that only means ours will get here soon! I can't wait to see some of my favorite episodes!

Counting the days,
Lolac

I'm right there with you counting those days (as are my wife and kids)! I think you will get yours either today or Monday, and I expect I'll get mine on Tuesday or Wednesday. But those are all just guesses based on past shipping.

I believe Christina orders hers with Priority Mail, so it will always get to her within a couple of days after shipping. That's a good thing to do, but I order so many things from DDD that I'd go broke if I didn't settle for the free shipping.

Glad you are enjoying the set Christina. Please report in and let us know how it is.

Wow! You sure are right about Sam's Club and their prices, algebra74. I'm shocked at those low prices. That beats everything else by at least $10 to $12. Incredible!

I've got a Sam's Club right down the street from me, so I'm gonna go and check them out and see if this local store is carrying these sets. I know you can order more online than what any local store has, but I'm just interested to see if they have it and if it's the same price in the store as it is online.

P.S. A few days ago Amazon.com had a snaffu in their pricing and for about 5 days you could get Season 1 of the show for $19.99. No joke!" fan

algebra74 · 04-24-2004, 04:10 PM

Yes B&W Fan, I too heard about the $19.99 Season One offering at amazon.com. I wonder if this were a mistake, a joke, or simply a sales gimic to try to get rid of their remaining copies.
