I just gave this a try to see if shipping could possibly be that expensive. Not only did I get The Green Mile for free, but I was not charged for shipping, and my order went through.

The site is a little suspect, but I put Green Mile in the cart, put in the 9409AB823 coupon code, and hit "Redeem Coupon", and it's supposedly on the way! It didn't ask for credit card information or anything. I'm not expecting much but hey, it's worth a try. At the very worst it's a little extra spam in the mailbox.

Just another fine example how a few greedy people just don't know how to restrain themselves. If a good deal comes along, take your share but don't abuse it!

Didn't work for me, the DVD was free, but the shipping was $19.99 for the green mile, not worth it to me.

Question

What kind of shipping did you try? It showed shipping for me too but when I entered the coupon it made the order complete instantly and I didn't have to enter a credit card.

Thanks...
Worked for a free dvd, hope it goes through.

Order # was less than 1800 so maybe they are not too swamped yet.

Yes, you have to click 'redeem coupon' to get the free shipping. If you click 'continue' at the lower right of the page, it adds shipping.

Same for me. The shipping came out to 19.99 for the Magnolia DVD which is ridiculous. The shipping was as much as the DVD itself. How did you all do it? Maybe it's because of where I live? I live in Nor Cal. Those of you who got free shipping, where do you all live?

Unhappy

My order number was in the high 1600's... so that's what 100 orders in the last 30 minutes at 3AM? Nah... that's not swamped. I think this deal will fall though but I can hope! I thought the same thing about the Tupperware deal a couple of days ago, but I got shipping confirmation.

Don't touch the shipping pop-up menu. Just enter the coupon code and hit "REDEEM COUPON". Shipping will not be added. Not that I'm saying this will actually WORK, but hey, they don't even get your CC information so at least you know it's not going to cost you anything.

THANKS! You have to order something less than 20 bucks or else they charge shipping (i.e.: If you tried to buy magnolia for 22.99 and then redeemed the code, your total would be 2.99 plus shipping)

Doh... went to the site last night but got smacked by shipping, wish I had known the trick then rather than now at noon EST when it's refusing connections.

Hrm... most intriguing. I get "Connection Refused" when I go through my ISP, but when I go through AOL it goes right through. Once again, I must express my undying love to edgenet.net, the crappiest ISP that ever was.

Nuts!!!!!!
--------------------

Dear Customer:

Thank you for shopping at NationwideComputers.Com. However, the order you
placed did not meet the minimum requirements in order to redeem your $20
coupon. Below is a portion of the email you have received regarding the
coupon offer.

How much do you want to save?

You can get $20 off a purchase of $99 or more, or you can take $50 off! any
purchase of $500 or more. Simply print out your Eversave coupons, or present
your Eversave card at the Nationwide store near you.


Prefer to save online? Get $20.00 off your purchase of $100.00 or more when
you order online.

----------------
etc, etc. Oh well. You know what they say about "too good to be true"....
