When I bought my BluRay player I sent in my stuff for the 5 free BluRay movies just after Christmas and still have not received them. How long does it take to get them?

If it is like HD-DVD, it will take forever.

I sent mine off end of January.

I sent mine at about the same time and received the movies around the end of March.

At the bottom of the Canadian order for there is a number for Buena Vista Home Entertainment (1-877-823-0804). It also says 8 to 10 weeks for delivery in the fine print.

Re: 5 Free BluRay movies, How long did it take?


Thanks Zip, I called them and they are out of some of the movies due to the overwhelming response to the offer so they will be shipping them when they get more. They have my info and it has been approved so its just simply a waiting game. Its been 12 weeks already for me.

Re: 5 Free BluRay movies, How long did it take?


I just called and they said the info was entered into their system on March 26th and that it's typically a 8-10 week wait after that point. That puts it at between May 21st and June 4rth 2008. That's not too bad I guess. I hate the waiting though.

When I was a teenager I won a T-Shirt playing an arcade game called Stun Runner. At the end an address and code was given to send for the free mail in. I had pretty much forgotten that I even mailed in the offer when 10 months later it arrived in the mail.

My previous history with mail in rebates and offers in general lead me to not go for a product over another because it has an offer unless it's a really really good one.

Re: 5 Free BluRay movies, How long did it take?


I called again today just to see what the scoop was and they said they were waiting on "Flight of the Phoenix" and then they would be shipping it out. They didn't give an ETA of when they would be getting more copies however so I could be waiting another month or more . They are really nice on the phone I have to admit.

Re: 5 Free BluRay movies, How long did it take?


I'll gladly take it off your hands Tony .

Just kidding around...

You could probably get a few bucks for it on kijiji, Ebay or trade it with a friend.
