They've come a long way Ralphie...from charging $100 for an empty cardboard box to giving a DVD away
In ALL fairness, Clinty, I did 'score' recently when AS offered 7 Blues/Jazz Stereo SACDS in Super Jewel Cases recorded at their Blue Heaven Studios for $5 each [Super Quality, BTW], and they continue to release/master Pink Floyd in 5.1 Surround and I also scored when Amazon Warehouse offered BRAND NEW their BS & T "BLOODLINES" boxset [BOX included] for $70 but their latest ploy of not offering further discounts on SACDs is as our friend's in the UK would allude to "rather cheeky!"
So, I guess we have to take the good with the bad.....and when I place my next order with them, I'll be sure to include that DVD Freebie..which probably cost them 50 cents to replicate. Should Gene [Gos 3.0] procure that freebee, he could use it to play frisbee with Lamar
My Blue Heaven!

I can now relate a scary event, that worked out well, in the end.
When AFtP Anniversary Super Deluxe arrived from Germany, I quickly noticed a catastrophic problem with the packaging. Not the shipping containers, those were fine.
But the manufacturing must have gone awry. The sleeves for discs 3 and 4 were glued UNDER the foamy/cardboard divider thing. The sleeve for disc 4 was damaged trying to get to the disc to listen to it. No attempt was made for disc 3. The angle they were glued at precluded leaving the sleeves in place and simply sliding the discs out.
Anyway, I love the Blu-ray and I inquired about a replacement, either to keep the set or flip it sans Blu-ray someday. Amazon.de's written policy is that they'll cover 8 euros of shipping for international orders. The 1st CSA I chatted with quickly offered a "free of cost replacement" and sent me a link for a shipping label. Cool.
Except, when I got to the PO, the label didn't cover postage, which was going to be over $100!
I chatted with CS again, informing them of the postage costs and that I wanted to see, in writing that they'd reimburse the entire cost. They wrote that they would.
So... I mail the package, for $112+.
I pop on to chat and they want to see the receipt, cool. Oh, this is more than the cost of the item, we'll have to refer you to our specialists for their answer. TF?!
It could be that it was a done deal and the CS just couldn't do the refund, but the language used was scary. Anyway, they did reimburse and, due to exchange rate mysteries, even in my favor, at $117+.
The next day (today), the replacement box set shows up. I opened it and examined everything. Fortunately, all is well this time.
Yiiiiggghhh!!!
Even though it all worked out, and I now own the set for $48, I feel like dealing with Amazon overseas on big items is a bit risky.
One CS wrote that "we always cover total shipping costs," but when I asked why their web site says 8 euros I didn't get a meaningful reply.

Glad it finally worked out for you, Mike but I've noticed lately that s/h from Germany is sometimes now higher than the item itself and as you indicated should the item be defective or the wrong item s/h back to Germany just ain't worth it.
Yeah, just very hard to resist when a long sought-after title breaches one's acceptable price range!

I'm still reeling from the fact that ImportCD and Deep Discount are NOW charging me sales tax [as per my last order] so when DD has their frequent 15% off sales, with New York State 7.375% sales tax added, I'd really only be saving about 8%. But it was good while it lasted.

Pretty sure Mega Helium Cat Lamar could never get that much air
If that makes any sense

I’ve never ever had a problem receiving a refund or a replacement from Amazon overseas, and I live in Florida. If I ever had a faulty disc, LP or even Super Deluxe Box set of something went awry with/during shipping I’ve always either had my choice of getting a complete refund/replacement or MAJOR DISCOUNT no questions asked EVER. The only Amazon company I’ve ever had a problem with is from Amazon Canada and I’m Canadian. Will never ever deal with them again.....every other country I’ve ordered from the customer service is AWESOME!! The BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE I’ve ever gotten from any company I’ve EVER delt with!!!
Since they are now charging Ralphie tax....DeepDiscounts wants to make him happy with a $5 discount...promo code FRANKENSTEIN

And factoring in New York State sales tax of 7.375% would reduce that $5 discount to $3.16!
With that code you can get the Fleetwood Mac Tusk box set for $48.
The Tango in the Night box (which sadly has no surround content) also comes down to $35.

Just ordered from Deep Discount .... and BTW, no extra s/h charges were incurred ...with $5 off coupon and NYS sales tax total was $37.51. For comparison, AmazonUS w/tax would've been $81.21!!!!!
What a DEAL privateuniverse. MANY thanks!

The Velvet Underground Loaded set also comes down to $35.98 with the coupon.
And while at $22, the price is too low to meet the sale's $35 minimum threshold, the Jethro Tull Too Old to Rock 'n' Roll is also a steal. (However, if you combine it with another item to get up to $35, you can get the $5 off.)

Nice! Just put in an order for Refused/The Shape Of Punk To Come, Clark Terry/Portraits, and John Hicks/On the Wings of An Eagle; in order to maximize my % off, I went back and scored Lee Konitz/Parallels, John Abercrombie/Structures, and John Hicks/On the Wings of An Eagle. Two orders totaling $78=12.8% discount--FRANKENSTEIN!
