Topic: CeX Bargains

I use CeX a hell of a lot online and have had some great deals out of them.

A couple about right now:
Election: Part 2 for £0.50 http://www.cex.co.uk/products/DVD/DVD/DVD%20World%20Cinema/index.php?sku=5060034578642&name=Election,%20Vol%202&mode=buy

The League of Gentleman's Box of Delights for £2.00 http://www.cex.co.uk/products/DVD/DVD/DVD%20Boxsets/index.php?sku=5050582468724&name=League%20of%20Gentlemen,%20Box%20of%20Delights&mode=buy

It's a site worth checking out. I've received over 1000 releases from them in the last year and a bit and no real problems. I had about 10 come with photocopied covers (all from the Leeds store) but I sent them back and got a refund easy enough. Some have light surface scratches but usually to be expected from a used place. Minimum online order is £2 and it's free delivery.

I've been in the shops a couple of times. Never thought to check they were online. Thanks!

Their order system sucks by the way. You place your order, get your confirmation and then the order is picked from whichever shops have it in stock (the franchise shops don't take part). So say you order 3 items, they might come in three packages from three shops. You get three e-mails with every dispatch. The first is what your order was, the second is what was successfully picked and the third what shipped at that time. They 'hold' the money on your card until the order is complete because sometimes the stock is sold before it is picked. You're obviously only charged for what is dispatched. It can take anywhere from 20 minutes to 10 days to ship though 99% of the time 2-5 days. They really need to sort the site and the way ordering is done out tbh but at the prices I can live with some crappy design. My best bargain so far? The Gregory Peck Collection released by Fox for £0.25 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gregory-Peck-Collection-Gentlemans-Gunfighter/dp/B00095L8ZW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1275344509&sr=8-8

Prices fluctuate wildly.

...thats why i refuse to use CEX Online... I once ordered something and ended up cancelling because it had been "dispatching" for about three months :/
