Topic: A HUGE!!! thank you to Jon

  Jon

As most of you already know, I won the Find-DVD.UK review contest for the month of August.

What you don't know is that, being in R1, I was caught in a catch-22 concerning my prize. Because Play.com has a USA version of their website, if you live in R1, you can't set up an account with their UK site. You are automatically redirected to the USA site.

The £200 voucher I won is only valid on their UK site.

So I was caught between a rock and a hard place. The DVDs I wanted were R2, but I couldn't use the voucher to buy them myself.

So I PM'd Jon and asked him if he could help me out, and he agreed.

I made a list of DVDs that I wanted to buy and sent him the code for the £200 voucher. He ordered them for me, and the final set came in today.

He's shipping them out to me this week.

I just want to say that we have a true and honest friend here at DCO, and I'm glad to have gotten to know him.

Once again, a very, very big thank you Jon!

That's very kind of you to say, but it's my absolute pleasure to help out.  It's fun being a personal shopper!

WTG Jon! That was mighty kind of you.

That looks like a nice bunch of movies.

I didn't realize Play.com has a US site.  I think I've only ever seen the UK site load up for me.  Hmm.

Very, very cool.

It's great to see that we have a community that is more than willing to help each other out in this kind of way.

This is very nice to see!

Trust me, you don't want to use them. Before I realized I couldn't use the voucher there, I picked out some DVDs and was shocked by the prices. They're at least 10 - 15% above the MSRP on all their DVDs. Huge ripoff!

Very cool of you Jon!

I have found the most helpful and generous people here. Makes you proud to be part of the site!
