    Make sure you use paypal with these jokers.

    Why do you say that? What's wrong with using a credit/laser card?

    Because they often stiff people and it is nigh on impossible to get your money back via card payment. Paypal will refund very quickly.

    Cheers for the link. Some realy good deals. The best of which is A Few Good Men, On The Waterfront, To Kill a Mockingbird and Fight Club, €1.99 each. 'The Fan' starring Robert De Niro is a solid thriller as well for the same price. Rush Hour 2, A Perfect Murder and U.S Marshals also 1.99. Home Alone 1&2 boxset, Stand By Me, Layer Cake, Speed, Master & Commander, From Dusk Till Dawn and Ghost for only 2.99. Also all 3 Karate Kid films for 3.99

    My mistake:D What I meant was it was 1.99;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    Thanks for this I bought the Count Duckula, Karate Kid 1-3 and the Superbad/other movies collection. Thanks to all for posting up bargains:):)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    It gets better! Just noticed that all books have the €3 off them and free delivery!

    If anyone is interested in the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris most of them seem to be €2.99 each delivered!! Considering they are about €9 each in Easons, this is a bargain. I already bought the series (which is fairly good imo) for nearly twice the price!

    I've come accross a few more great offers. Brad Pitt triple collection (Sleepers, Meet Joe Black, 12 Monkey's) only 1.99, All of the following films are also 1.99 each - Angel Heart, Showtime, Presumed Innocent, Broken Arrow. I am sure there are loads more hidden away. They dont come up on any of the bargain basement listings. You have to type them in.

    Is there no way to list stuff by price on cdwow? It's very frustrating and time consuming looking through lists in random order


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 566 ✭✭✭SB-08


    I agree. It is very annoying. There is no way, apart from when you type in a specifitic film - then it gives you the otpion of sorting by price etc, which is pretty pointless considering only a few choices tend to come up, whereas it would actually be very usefull to have the option on the bragain sections.

    I have to say though, this is a brilliant sale. Best i've come accross in a long time. I have brough so many DVD's at 1.99. Just picked up books on De Niro, Pacino, Eastwood, Nicholson and Brando for 2.99 each with free delivery. Saw the same books for 15 in easons.

    Also, for any U2 fans, most of their albums are going for under a fiver, same with Springsteen.

    Might as well buy it at that price.

    Most overrated film of all time mind you, plus the worst tagline in history
    "Fear can keep you prisoner, hope can set you free"!

    Also, check this out.
    There's a Scottish version of Roald Dahl's "The Twits" called "The Eejits"!!!
    i kid you not!
    yours for 1.99

    Just tried to make a purchase there via the 3 Euro off link and its been declined on both my laser and credit card! I did order a fair bit yesterday, is is possible that they have blocked me from completing purchase:confused::confused:

    Edit just checked my account there and most things I ordered are on backorder, thats not a good sign is it?

    All the books I ordered are on "backorder", as is the Brad Pitt DVD.

    Only thing pending dispatch is the Shawshank Redmeption Blu Ray.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    Just to add that I ordered a cliff Richard calender, diary, book and cd (for a Christmas present for someone:D) amongst other things, and they too are on "back order" Now, I don't think there is a rush on things Cliff Richard, somehow, so it looks like cd wow aint going to honour my orders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,267 ✭✭✭kc66


    Raging Bull shipped yesterday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    Got The Pordigy Invaders must die cd for €4 and it despatched on friday. Also got Daft punk Greatest hits vol.1 for €3 but its on back order.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    What are the chances of getting the stuff when they are all on backorder?


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    They're gonna stay on backorder till you ask them for a refund, which they'll give.

    I bought a bunch of books for 1.99 delivered of them which they have to be losing money on.

    Half of the dvd's i order are also on backorder. I have emailed them this morinng and just got a reply saying they would honor the orders and would dispatch them the day they arrive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,263 ✭✭✭deiseindublin


    Just looked up my order after reading this thread and all of my books are on backorder too. Will be interesting to see if any of them eventually arrive (before 25/12 would be good! :))


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    Some of the books that were on backorder yesterday were dispatched today:) Thanks again OP. (The Cliff stuff hasn't been dispatched yet though:() Its looking good that I'll get the lot! Some great bargains, pity they blocked me from making any more orders :mad:

    Well you really did the dog on it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 251 ✭✭the_pod


    3 books "Despatched" for me today :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 135 ✭✭Out Of Order


    Thanks OP, this is a great offer.

    All of my books were dispatched yesterday and most of the DVD's.
    And they sent me a voucher this morning for €4.39.
    Looks like this is a drive to regain lost business?

    They've just introduced a delivery charge for books though:
    "Delivery to: ROI / European * 1st book: £4.99 * Each additional: £1.50"
    Oh well, back to the book depository.


  • Site Banned Posts: 5,676 ✭✭✭jayteecork


    Shawshank Redemption blu ray gone out as well.

    Excellent little bargain alert this, and fair play to CDWOW for honouring it.

    Got a load of books for 1.99 delivered and the blu-ray above for a fiver.
    Also the Brad Pitt collection but that's on backorder!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,396 ✭✭✭lindtee


    8 of the 19 items I ordered dispatched, 2 pending dispatch and 9 back ordered! I didn't expect them to honour the books as there is usually delivery charges and they are high, but all but 2 of the books have been dispatched.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,888 ✭✭✭Rsaeire


    My order, Superman Returns on DVD, was dispatched today too. For a while I was wondering when the order status would move from "pending despatch", but finally today it changed status.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,054 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    My Reservoir Dogs Blu-ray despatched.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,759 ✭✭✭alastair_doom


    All 3 books, and 4 dvds now dispatched. 1 bluray and 2 dvds still on backorder.


    Everything on the site still seems to be showing as €3 off for me. Havent tried to order anything tho so cant say if its just a glitch. Anyone else?

    Also, free delivery on their books has been extended until december 25th


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,371 ✭✭✭banjobongo


    remind me if you are buying a DVD over the web, what region should it be for Ireland? Inspired by this thread I looked up BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY, which I have been thinking of buying for a while for the kids (and the parents) to watch...the trilogy costs 30.99 for region 1 and 10.99 for region 4, slight price difference!

    Region 4 will work in European DVD players I think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 30 BernardMc


    Correct, Region 4 (which is Austrlia & Asia) dvds do play in Irish dvd players (Region 2).
    I've bought several Region 4 dvds from Cdwow and they've played no problem!

    Yeah, everything is still showing as €3 off for me too, even if I just put in the normal cd wow url. I can't use the €4.56 voucher they gave me on it either.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 135 ✭✭Out Of Order


    Looks like the €3 off finished this morning.
    Still free delivery on books though.

    Just got 33 dispatch notices from cdwow, all the above stuff has been dispatched. Alastair_doom - you are my hero!!Best Bargain Alert Ever. Out of the 60 odd items I ordered altogether(:o) all but 4 of them have been dispatched (and 2 of them are cliff richard items) So I've saved a massive €180 on site prices, a lot of which were relatively good value before the discount. Post man is not going to like me though:D:D
