Amazon Price Adjustment Thread

[TomSelleck]

Now I might have an interesting question. I pre-ordered Watchmen along with Ghostbusters. This was when Ghostbusters had that "mistake" of being available for $10. If I shoot off an e-mail to Amazon customer service for the price adjustment on Watchmen will that mess up my $10 Ghostbusters?

Don't they have price guarantee on preorders? And didn't you already receive you copy of Ghostbusters? If so, I think you should be all good.

No I ordered with Watchmen to get free shipping and they don't ship until Watchmen is available I guess.

Interesting question but I think you are safe. I don't think Amazon's systems or employees are smart enough to realize that Ghostbusters was priced incorrectly. It's a risk though but not that big a risk imo.

Woah yeah guys beware. I contacted them about the price adjustment and one of those $5 off coupons disappeared from my Ghostbusters order. They both had price drops though so I am only losing out on a $2 off difference but still thats lame.

I don't like ordering from Amazon as much as I used to since they changed their shipping/grouping items policy. This would not have been a problem for you if they still shipped items separately for free. They did it to save a lot of money obviously but it will cost them orders in the long run. The free shipping almost isn't worth it when you have to wait so long for stuff. They probably changed it also to bolster the number of Amazon Prime members.

Yeah I actually ended up canceling my order and just did that WBshop.com Watchmen deal and will probably just end up using my Sony Rewards points to get Ghostbusters this week for around $12. So actually in some weird way Amazon helped me save money here I found a better deal...thanks for screwing up my preorder Amazon. Instead of getting Ghostbusters and Watchmen for around $35 I will be getting Ghostbusters, Watchmen, Tales of the Black Freighter, and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang for around $42.

And sorry to kind of derail this thread just wanted to warn people if they had Ghostbusters pre-ordered like me.

Does anyone know why Amazon pulled their Batman Digibook off their site? Is it the way they are shipping it?

Then again, as of my post, the price has dropped another $7 to $170.99 at $34.20 per season + the previously mentioned $10 upgrade coupons.

The coupons aside, this is a savings of at least $13-$14 per season, as compared to buying them individually. I suppose if you already have the first two seasons, you might be annoyed, but that's the nature of home video releases.

If only more tv series had multiple seasons out on Blu Ray so amazon.com could bundle them up and offer a larger discount.

Your claims fall flat.
