Deep Discount June 25% Off Sale FAQ

These deals were posted 2 years 8 months 17 days ago which may mean they are no longer valid. For the newest deals go to the main page.

With the biannual Deep Discount sale coming up, I wanted to put information about it and answers to some questions.  I will make another post once the sale is underway.

What is the sale?
For the past couple years Deep Discount has held a biannual sale, in June and November.  In all previous sales before this past November, the discount was 20% off.   In the fall 2008 sale, the discount is 25% off. It’s currently unknown if this is a one-time change or permanent.

Are any titles excluded?
Yes. Sometimes a company might request that their movies not be included in the sale. In the fall of 2005 ADV Films requested to not be involved in the sale, and in the June 2006 sale Media Blasters made a similar request and had their products were completely removed from the Deep Discount site for the duration of the sale.

Are Pre-Orders eligible for the discount?
No.  Pre-orders do not qualify for the discount. If the item you want is released during the sale, however, you can order it once it’s officially released and get the discount.

What about items that are out of stock?
Out of stock items are included in the sale. As a matter of fact many popular items will go out of stock within the first 3 or 4 days of the sale, and will go on backorder. Even if the item doesn’t ship until after the sale ends, you will still be charged the sale price.

Are Blu-Ray titles included in the sale?
Yes, those are included in the sale.

Are other items besides DVD’s and Blu-Ray’s eligible for the discount?
Media storage racks and cases, UMD’s and posters have traditionally been part of the sale. Toys and video games have never been a part of the sale. Books and CD’s are not part of the sale either, but in the Summer 2007 sale DD lowered the prices on thousands of selected books and CD’s by 20%.

Are there any limitations?
Yes, you can’t order more than 5 of any one title in one order.  Deep Discount reserves the right to further limit quantities at their discretion.

When does the sale start?
The sale usually starts the second Thursday of the month.  But it is not set and could start at anytime.

How long does the sale go on for?
At least 10 days. In some past sales, Deep Discount has extended the sale to last almost the entire month.

How do I get the discount?
In your cart there is a place for you to enter a coupon code. Enter your code and the discount will be applied to all eligible items.

What is the coupon code?
There are many different codes, a list of them will be put in the post announcing the sale. You can use each code one time during the sale. Most of the codes are the same from sale to sale, sometimes a few will change as different groups sponsor the event. Here’s some of the codes that have been used:

Are these the best prices I’ll get all year?
No. You can always count on great Black Friday deals, pre-Christmas sales from Amazon.com, etc. The difference is that the Deep Discount sale is on practically everything, whereas other sales are more specific (BBC shows, TV shows on DVD from a certain studio, etc).

Another important detail is to make a wish list at Deep Discount’s web site. Actually you can make it anywhere, but it makes the most sense to have it on DD’s site as you can just pull it up and buy titles off of it instead of having to look each one up individually.

Thanks to MovieExchange at DVD Talk for compiling information about the sale.
