Author Topic: Deep Discount DVD = DVD Planet Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-13-2004 05:01 PM                        DVD trivia I was talking to customer service today at Deep Discount DVD about my order for "Carnivale The whole 1st season" which I found out after I ordered it, was on "Back Order" and won't be in till Dec 23rd. When we were done with our conversation, the customer service lady said "Thanks for calling DVD Planet"! I thought that rather odd so I called DVD Planet's customer service and got the same answering machine message telling me what buttons to push for my questions. When the young girl came on I asked her if the two companies were the same. She said "We are owned by the same company". They too have Carnivale on back order. It seems kind of strange that these two "apparent" competitors are essentially the same place. I always buy at Deep Discount because they are always cheaper and give free shipping. Seems like the owner is in competition with himself (or herself)  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-13-2004 08:17 PM                     December 23rd. seems like a long time to be on back order. Since the DVD was just released on the 7th of December. I saw a lot of copies on the shelves of Virgin's MegaStore in Times Square today.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 12-13-2004 09:51 PM                        I've run into that other online sellers. You start checking around, and you find out the same company is doing business under multiple identities. Nothing wrong with it I guess. DeepDiscountDVD is great by the way -- Never had any problems with them.  |  IP: Logged Greg Mueller Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1687 From: Port Gamble, WA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-14-2004 06:35 PM                        I guess their ship came in. I got notice today that Carnivale was shipped out  |  IP: Logged Thomas Procyk Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1842 From: Royal Palm Beach, FL, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 12-26-2004 11:40 PM                     Yeah, it's really no surprise that apparently "competing" companies are the same ones. Probably because one of them fouled up one too many times so the other had to be started to gain back customers who will "never shop there again!" I know people who refuse to support MTV, but watch VH1 religiously. Or those who oppose the business practices of Phillip Morris but stock up on Kraft foods. Surprise, surprise! Me? I hate AOL but love the WB. =TMP=  |  IP: Logged James R.
