I didn't see this in the forum when I took a quick look so I thought I mention it.

Normally I find that RS is a ok on price (not the greatest) and shipping too much but usually can't beat there sales they do from time to time.

40% off retail brings those titles down to DDD's regular prices. But DDD doesn't charge shipping.

DDD wins again.

Yea shipping usually kill the deal. I wanted to order 3 ADV manga to try out, each reduce price down to 6.66 from 9.99. Add a 5 dollar shipping and final price comes to 24 dollar. I guess it's an okay deal if there's manga u really want.

Very Good point, thank you for pointing out DDD. I never realize how affordable DDD is. Smile

Actually at 40%, it just barely brings it down below DDD's regular prices. And if your order is over $100.00, you can also get the same media shipping rate (a.k.a. Economy) that DDD offers. In this case, it's just a tiny bit cheaper to go with the Right Stuf deal. Of course, that's really if you are just being a penny pincher. Smile

I might end up with Right Stuff International this time, I have the Got Anime Membership that bring it to 50% so I will do a price comparsion of the two orders through both of them and go with which one is cheaper.

I don't think a "penny pincher" would spend over $100 on anime DVDs at once...

Granted, just trying to point out that for the (rare) moment, the Right stuf sale does edge out DDD just slightly... and if you are the sort of person to buy over $100 bucks worth, why not?

I'm always annoyed at the 4th class media mail used by DDD. I have no clue with the package is suppose to arrive.

How do you guys deal with it?

Well, I live in Texas, and it just about always (99% of the time) arrives in 7 or 8 days, unless it's backordered, of course. Anime catgrin

Yeah, at DDD, you can get as many as 6 DVD's for $100, unlike Suncoast, where 3 DVD's will get you to $100.

Also, I am going to buy as many as 8 DVD's per month from DDD at no more than $140 a month (Usually around $45 min to $70 max per paycheck. I have a huge backlog of what I want to buy, which could take me 4 years to get ahead). Previously I was buying almost exclusively at suncoast, and my does that get expensive, and it pretty much nearly costs double to buy at Suncoast, I also then started buying more at Best Buy, before I found DDD.

Oh, and DDD's free shipping takes 10 days for me here in Louisiana. As for New York, I would expect it in a max of 15 days. Better go expedited shipping for $4.95 - 3-5 day shipping through that.
