Good deal on Buffy box set

[BuffyFanOne]

phrinck.com/index.php?main_page=product_boxset_info&cPath=26&products_id=262

Never ordered from them.
Found it advertised on the side of my face book.

Looks like you get to choose a free dvd as a bonus too

[Skytteflickan88]

OMG!!! I need money now.

-EDIT

I BOUGHT IT!!! I think something might be wrong though. They charged me less than 80 USD, including shipping. Either I'm very lucky, or they'll charge me extra for shipping soon.

I wonder if Dad will be upset that I can afford much food when he visits today and stays for a few days (weeks if I'm lucky). Oh well, he's probably going to buy food as well. No need to mention what I bought. It's be a secret. Until the package arrives.

I'm still happy though! But no subway sanwhich for me today.

[BuffyFanOne]

LOL I'm glad you were able to take advantage of this deal!!

I wish I could do the same!
Did you get a free dvd with the purchase?

[Skytteflickan88]

Yes, I think I choose Angels and Demons since I remember it being good when I watched it (I will read the book one day... maybe).

If the deal works out, and the site is good, I see a lot of DVDs I'm going to be getting, even though I should probably get the region 2 versions. It's a bit weird that I can't find the complete series Dollhouse and Veronica Mars complete series on amazon, even though they have them there. I thought the Dollhouse complete series was a region 2 thing.

[BuffyFanOne]

I was wondering if maybe they are just selling them in bundles...if what shows up for dollhouse would just be the box sets for season 1 and 2. Still a great price though!

[Skytteflickan88]

In that case, they're definitly ripping people off. They can't call it the Chosen collection, show a picture of the Chosen collection and say it's 40 discs if they're going to send individual seasons.

But I doubt they'll do that.

[BuffyFanOne]

Yeah I doubt it too.

I was wondering about Dollhouse though because I didn't know there was a complete set released.

[Astray]

Hmm I totally want to order this... Let us know how it goes Skytteflickan88.

[BuffyFanOne]

Any word yet?

[Skytteflickan88]

Nope. But they sent a progress email, so I haven't lost hope. I'll make sure that it's here within the 45th day, or I'll can file a claim with paypal if needed, and tell you guys.

[BuffyFanOne]

45 days seems excessive.
Did they give you a shipping date?
Or is it because you are not in the US?

[Skytteflickan88]

45 days isn't the shipping date, it's the time I have with paypal before losing my rights to claim my money back, if the deal is unsuccesful (at least I think that's the deadline).

They didn't give me a shipping date, but there's a package stuck in customs that the authorities need to know what it is and see receipt on or they won't let it through, so it might be it.

I'm waiting for a reply form the customs, so I can make sure it's the DVDs (could be a Sunnydale map replica).

-EDIT

The custom office said the package was from China. I'm getting a bad feeling. Waiting to hear back from the seller.

[BuffyFanOne]

hmm...china!?
Could it be factory direct? Maybe that is why it was so cheep??

[Skytteflickan88]

I have no idea. They're suppose to answer soon. I hope they can confirm that they ship from China so I can send the info to my customs office and have the package here.

[Skytteflickan88]

I'm copying my review from another board

I figured I should tell everyone how it went with my purchase of the cheap Chosen Collection from phrinck.com/index.php?main_page=product_boxset_info&cPath=26&products_id=262 that included a free DVD.

Shipping to Sweden was just a few bucks, and I saw that the site had several box sets I could find on amazon (Region 1 Dollhouse compplete series, and a Veronica Mars box set) so I got worried.

Turns out it could be so cheap because they ship from China. The package got stuck in customs because value wasn't declared and it didn't say what was in it (not sure why the customs didn't see that it said 9 USD on the box). I discovered that it said "gift" on the box, which I find shady of a company to write, and that it declared the wrong value.

But the Collection seems to be real, no knock off. It was covered in platic, had the bonus DVD, booklet, the seasons, the letter, a descriptin of what's in. The box has a dented corner, but I can live with that. I'll watch a few DVDs soon to see if they work.

However free DVD was however a let down. I choose Angels & Demons, and I did get a flat package version of it that's not a entirely american version and it's blu ray, not DVD, as advertised. However, it's not dubbed, just has some asian writing on it, not sure which region. Looks fancier than something sold from out of a trunk of a car, but it doesn't even come in a real holder. And since I don't have a blu ray player, I'm disapointed.

-EDIT

*watching Hush*

All good so far.

[BuffyFanOne]

YAY!
I completely forget about this so I am glad to see it worked out for you!

I'm not even mad about the free dvd sucking. It was an extra freebee and the set was soooo cheep!

Now I wish I ordered it lol

BTW, is it the original or is it the new box set?

[Skytteflickan88]

It's the *real* chosen collection. Not the new crap.
