apex Posted April 22, 2007 Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hi All, Just a note to grumble about said guarantee from Video Ezy. Having just been tormented by such adds for the new movie Eragon for the last couple of days decided to pick it up for a view. They had run out, but denied running such guarantee on that movie due to shipment issues. Well, since there was about 50 borrowed slots on the wall for this movie I thought the excuse rather lame. The offer is worthless. Dont really care about the $6 they charge for hire, but that I had not botheres to call and book earlier when i thought of it since I figured that they would sureky not run out of a movie with the guarantee offer. Should have listened to that little voice in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local store only honours this deal if you have pre-booked the film by phone and it is not in stock - in which case they usually have a pick up time...

Trofius Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 That does sound a bit dodgy... The local Video eazy store has the movies that are guaranteed set up in a display it has an orange promotional background were it is located on the wall. But if they are just too slack to use their issued promational stuff it still doesnt matter eragon is a guarentee title and as such should be honoured. Up here if you want it and it is not available you are given a voucher for a free rental of the guarantee title, and you have one month to use it...

Azz123 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Cant say Ive got a lot of time for Video Ezy.. Our local charges $6.60 for an overnight and discount Tuesday's are $2 per new release.. The local Blockbuster I go to is $6 for a new release and Tuesdays is (max 6 new releases) $1 each. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trofius Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 WAs advised by the lacal store manager, and she said these people are not doing the right thing, so go to the video ezy web site and e-mail them about it, they are not following the correct procedures.

Trigg Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 The Video Ezy web site only has Casino Royal listed as the Guaranteed Movie. Did they actually advertise that Eragon was part of this promotion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they actually advertise that Eragon was part of this promotion? Yeah, I've seen the ad on TV yesterday or the day before. It was definitely Eragon.

Maybe worth while checking some recent recordings and go back to Video Ezy with some evidence! You never know, you may score a free copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trofius Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Each promotion goes for 21 days, i beleive up to 2 titles per month. Casino royal was the last one, and eragon is the latest promotion they do overlap, this is so there is allways a current guarantee movie, The same movie will also have a price guarantee if buying new..and as there is sooo many hire copies teh EX rental ones will only be about $15 each to purchase. maybe the video ezy site needs an update..

Mr.Bitey Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Shipment problems? - not your problem - their risk running the ads. If its advertised your entitled to it. Blockbuster ran a thing in school holidays last year something along the lines of 'kids rent free' - any PG or G movie was a free rental. I went in there, grabbed a movie for the kids, went up to the counter and gave it to the guy.. whom promptly expect the $3 or whatever. I said that their ad says kids movies are free, to which they repllied that you get the free one when you rent another movie. I told them their ad didnt say that (and pointed to the one in the store, which was on the window and in the isles), he grumbled said the computer couldnt do it that way, I shrugged at him (the 'not my problem' shrug) then he gave it to me for free. I saw this type of deal advertised at video ezy too.. if it doesnt say on the fine print on ANY ad you see then youre good to go and they have to honour it. ie. if its on the telle, on the shop window etc - if it doesnt say it on the ad you see/hear then they have to honour it. email video ezy, name the store and the person. You should expect a voucher in the mail. Cheers, Bitey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trofius Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Just for interest next month the movie guarantees are most likely "Night at the Museum", and "DeJa vu" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
