E.T. Gift Set and K-Mart - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

So has anyone who got in on the $24.99 gift set deal at K-Mart gotten a "Shipped" notification (or the actual set) yet? My order is still showing as "Processing" on the K-Mart site--the same status it was just after I placed the order....

Mine is still processing too.

They're probably hoping you get fed up enough with waiting that you go out and buy it somewhere else and cancel their order so they don't have to honor their price.

They must have screwed up big time, neither version is even listed on the site anymore.

Screw K-Mart. They always advertise their things for low prices, then you go there and they are twice as much as they cost.

I've found that they don't bother with special price tags, putting the regular price tag on, but with the real, discounted price in the computer. So it may look like they're not living up to their advertised price, but when you get to the checkout, everything's fine.
I'm not saying I approve of them doing it this way, it's just the way they work.

I was near a K-Mart yesterday so I popped in. I talked to the Electronics Dept manager.

They will only carry the fullscreen of E.T. in the 2 disk set and will not carry the gift pack according to what she said.

I asked her if she liked fullscreen, and she said, "No way, that sucks, widescreen is the way to go."

K-Mart seemed to have the best price (14.96) so I a price match for that price when I did find it in widescreen.

i just got a shipping confirmation from k-mart today, hopefully they ship the gift set, the upc number is still the same so i don't know why i wouldn't get the gift set

cmaccarty · 10-23-2002, 11:16 PM

Excellent news!! Hopefully I'll get my shipping confirmation soon as well. Yes, if the UPC is the same, I don't see any reason to believe that you won't be getting the gift set. Nice!!

cmaccarty · 10-24-2002, 08:01 PM

Just got my shipping confirmation--the UPC does indeed match that of the gift set. Hopefully the box that shows up in my mailbox will as well!!

mike3001 · 10-25-2002, 10:49 PM

just to update i got my 24.99 plus shiping and handling gift set from k-mart yesterday

newt · 10-29-2002, 06:53 PM

Did anyone get it yet? I got the confirmation but not the set yet

cmaccarty · 10-29-2002, 07:46 PM

Yes! I received the set this past Saturday--much quicker than I expected, as I selected the "Media Mail" shipping option. ...not really impressed with the way it was packaged, but no major damage done...and for $25, who am I to complain??!!!

Kromax · 10-29-2002, 11:20 PM

I ordered in the initial flurry on Oct. 15 and received my box yesterday via media mail. Kudos to KMART for honoring their mistake.

I am soooo green with envy having seen the post about KMart's error in pricing just a short while after they caught their mistake.
