    nice spot, I paid via paypal, so the fact that they have my money means it might be harder for them to cancel the transaction


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Same as the groutch... but odds are we'll get a "unable to source this title from our suppliers" e-mail.

    I have the first one on a double-sided DVD (so time to upgrade), got a dodgy VCD version of the 2nd version free from someone on Adverts a year or two back (never watched).

    Heard terrible things about the second and third.. but I do love the first!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I have the first one on BRD, the second two aren't worth the disk they're printed on.

    excellent, just placed the order, odds are it won't make it, but still, worth a shot eh?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,203 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    Ordered myself, €5.99 though. Its cheaper on the Irish part of the website than the UK one.

    I have an american PS3, but according to here it should work for me

    Don't know how you got that. £4.49 is roughly €5.20, so cheaper than €5.99.

    EDIT: Cleared cache and restarted browser - still getting £4.49! :confused:

    Swore that I'd never use this shower of asshats again after they cancelled my last 4 orders, but I just couldn't resist!
    Fingers crossed that it actually ships this time:)

    /facepalm for not reading the post above


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,950 ✭✭✭fdevine


    £5.49 for me following the original link......

    Pre-cancelled?? That's a new one........

    That was a joke.
    Explained via the use of the word 'joke' after the statement.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,926 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Don't think it's a misprice either.

    I still have a €6 voucher from their last shenannigans, and when I tried to use it for this, it said it can't be used against sale items.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 314 ✭✭allimac


    Used that youthdisconts link and got it for4.49GBP.Thanks alastair and op.

    Oh, CDWOW... how predictable, not to mention downright shíte, ye've become!

    Ah stones :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    Ah common lads , you really didn't think you were going to get it for that price, did you ?

    The second two movies are shite anyway.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,300 ✭✭✭nice1franko


    me too. boo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 679 ✭✭✭Tweaky


    Got the same mail :(
    It was worth a try !!!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,339 ✭✭✭✭tman


    Cancelled here too... This is officially the last time I will use CDwow.

    While it's understandable that they cancel mispriced items (however bad it may make them look), my last couple of full priced orders with them were also an absolute shambles.

    I hope some more people follow me and refuse to use them, no matter how tempting the bargain!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,102 ✭✭✭mathie


    Post-Pre-Cancelled here now.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 18,693 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kimbot


    Got an email today saying they are sourcing it and going to dispatch it now. They cancelled my order already though so I have emailed them to find out what on earth is going on!!


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


    got same email
    Dear ***** ******
    Thank you for your order for Starship Troopers Trilogy on Blu-ray. We previously communicated to you that we were unable to fulfil your order for this item, however we are in the process of sourcing the stock from our supplier to make sure we honour your order.
    If you have any questions then please don’t hesitate to contact Customer Services on support@cd-wow.com
    From all the team at CD WOW, we thank you for your patience and look forward to dispatching your order very soon.

    might get it free because they can't take money out of my paypal account ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,926 ✭✭✭Soarer


    Have ye checked the link in the original post to see what price it's at now?

    Sweet mother of Jaysus! :eek:


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


    if they try to charge me that much, I'll be doing an immediate chargeback

    got same email

    I paid with Laser, had the money refunded, and got the same email. So don't think we'll be getting it free, just an offer to buy it at regular price...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,297 ✭✭✭Ri_Nollaig


    after previous attempts to use CD-Wow i decided agasint it this time and looks like it was the right decision. They are clowns, will never buy from them again


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 18,693 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kimbot


    Hello JXXXXXXXXXXX,



    Thank you for your e-mail. I apologize for the confusion caused to you in relation with this order.



    The order for ‘STARSHIP TROOPERS - STARSHIP TROOPERS 1 - 3 [BOX SET]’ was cancelled and the refund has already been processed via a voucher code.



    However as a goodwill gesture, we are dispatching the order. I am glad to inform you that we have secured stock from our supplier and we are expecting the order to be shipped on 20.07.09. Once the order will get dispatched from our warehouse, we will let you know via e-mail. Also, the status of the order on the website will not appear as cancelled as it will be shipped to you shortly.



    Our sincere apologies for all the inconvenience caused to you by this as it certainly wasn’t our intention. We do genuinely appreciate your patience and co-operation.

    Well fair play to them!! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,102 ✭✭✭mathie


    I got the cancellation email and I replied to them and lifted them out of it.
    Told them I'd never buy again and I'd bought numerous dvds in the past, valuable customer blah blah blah.
    Now the status has changed from cancelled to Backorder
    And they've refunded me.

    Bizarre.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,426 ✭✭✭Roar


    got this from them

    Dear Roar
    We are pleased to inform you that we have secured stock from our supplier and will be despatching your order on Monday July 20th.

    If you have any questions then please don’t hesitate to contact Customer Services on support@cd-wow.com.

    Thank you for your order and we look forward to seeing you on CD WOW soon.

    i emailed them as well when the original cancellation mail came, saying ""out of stock" or realised ye made a mistake with the pricing??" and got some standard reply back about it being out of stock as advised by their suppliers, or some ****e like that.

    got same email as Roar, will be watching my credit card transactions closely next week, make sure they don't try charge full price


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,426 ✭✭✭Roar


    got same email as Roar, will be watching my credit card transactions closely next week, make sure they don't try charge full price

    that's what I'm thinking as well.. gonna send them an email there now about it..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    They can't charge you full price without informing you first.

    And they did say:
    However as a goodwill gesture, we are dispatching the order.
    Why would they charge you the full price as a "gesture of goodwill"? :D

    PS - got no e-mail here. Paid via Paypal, got a cancellation and money refunded soon after. Item appears as 'Backordered' in My Account but when you click on it, I get a 404 Not Found error.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,102 ✭✭✭mathie


    got same email as Roar, will be watching my credit card transactions closely next week, make sure they don't try charge full price


    If there's one thing you can be assured of them doing it's something underhand like this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭daveyid89


    Hi David,
    Thank you for your e-mail and sorry for the inconvenience caused.
    This is to inform you that we have received your 2 emails for the below item, so we are replying to both of them in this e-mail.
    Please be informed that the refund has already been processed back to the original form of payment. However as a goodwill gesture we are honouring this order and shipping this item for you.
    Also be informed that we will not be charging any thing for this order now as we do not save any card details with us.

    Again, please accept my sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this order.


    Kind Regards,
    Keith | Customer Services Representative
    CD WOW!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Bit of a shame that they chose some customers and not others.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 128 ✭✭daveyid89


    also got another email saying its being dispatched on monday.... got the same email sayin out of stock from suppliers blah blah blah.... ten they said they could get some from the supplier and were uncancelling my order... i informed them i dont give permission for anything other than the 5.99 i agreed to being charged....., they said they have already refunded me the monies and wont be charging this time...

    nice!


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


    looks like we could all be getting a freebie, thanks Basq


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,203 ✭✭✭witnessmenow


    I got the same emails as everyone else here. This is madness? First they dont honour the misprice and now they are going to give us the stuff for free?

    Basq it looks like you delivered one hell of a B.A. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,036 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    I didn't get it... so I'm not happy! :(
