Hmm, I think they’ve made a mistake by including pre-orders at 10% off, particularly when they don’t have the usual business practice of a pre-order price guarantee put in place. That aside, it’s a terrific offer; I hope you guys get some real bargains. Indeed. That is frustrating. So you think they'd do a refund if asked? |

I think they probably would if you asked.
I know, personally, I would save £12.90 if I cancelled all my current pre-orders and re-purchased them with the 10% off. I haven’t, but it is a big saving; over half of the cost of a box set.

That aside, it’s a terrific offer; I hope you guys get some real bargains. That's exactly why it kicked off in May 2013 when it happened last - alot ofpeople who had pre-ordered titles were aggrieved that people who ordered after them but still in the pre-order period, got them cheaper. BF said they'd never discount pre-orders again but either they changed their mind or it's been an oversight and it should have been for released items only. I could have saved a good few quid on some things I already pre-ordered but - as you say - I prefer to focus on the bargains for the pre-orders I did get and, just as importantly, feel happy more people can get some BF that they may not otherwise. I'm always of the mind to be happy with the price I order at or I wouldn't be ordering. If others get a better deal, good for them  |

I came to BF many years ago, and I was a little overwhelmed by the variety of titles and the prices, so my initial "samples" came from picking up used CDs from eBay. I hit the jackpot one summer when a seller was unloading his entire collection of 60-70 titles for about $100 shipped. Sure, I eventually got hooked, became a subscriber, and started filling in the missing gaps in my collection so that now I have CDs for every title released in the main range and have a Megasub running all the way out to #262. Today, I have five bookcases filled with Big Finish media and a backlog that will take me 1-2 years to listen to just to get caught-up.
But many many of the 1-50 and 51-100 titles I never got in download form from BF. So when today's sale hit, combined with the price reduction on the 51-100 titles and the 10% off EVERYTHING discount code.... well, I went a little bonkers.
I am fearful of putting my Credit Card back in my wallet - it's so hot right now I'm afraid it my burst into flames and take my pants (sorry, "trousers") with it:
Main Range Digital Downloads: 1 - Sirens of Time 3 - Whispers of Terror 5 - The Fearmonger 6 - The Marian Conspiracy 7 - The Genocide Machine 9 - The Spectre of Lanyon Moor 13 - The Shadow of the Sourge 15 - The Mutant Phase 22 - Bloodtide *23 - Project: Twilight *24 - The Eye of the Scorpion *25 - Colditz *26 - Primeval *27 - The One Doctor *28 - Invaders from Mars 30 - Seasons of Fear 31 - Embrace the Darkness 37 - The Sandman 42 - The Dark Flame 44 - Creatures of Beauty 45 - Project: Lazarus 51 - The Wormery 53 - The Creed of the Kromon 57 - Arrangements for War 60 - Medicinal Purposes 68 - Catch 1782 69 - Three's a Crowd 71 - The Council of Nicaea 78 - Pier Pressure 84 - The Nowhere Place 88 - Memory Lane 90 - Year of the Pig 92 - Nocturne 98 - Frozen Time 99 - Son of the Dragon * = 6-title bundle

This is great news, as someone with limited funds I am pleased I can get my hands on even more Main Range for practically nothing! (stares greedily at all the 8th Doctor audios)

Hmm, I think they’ve made a mistake by including pre-orders at 10% off, particularly when they don’t have the usual business practice of a pre-order price guarantee put in place. That aside, it’s a terrific offer; I hope you guys get some real bargains. I've got a few pre-orders already placed from before and while it's true that I won't get this 10% discount, I did get a very good discount on the final prices as we do for all pre-orders and (as a U.K. customer) free delivery too, which is a few pounds on each boxset and would add up over a year. So I'm fine with that, imo BF always give a good deal to customers who pre-order. And there were several pre-orders I hadn't placed yet which will now get the 10% off, so I'm even more fine with that.  |

I don't begrudge anyone who got a better deal on an item than I did. Businesses are allowed to run sales if they want to. Sometimes a customer gets lucky by hitting one. Let's hope the chorus of complainers doesn't ruin this kind of offer happening again in the near future. Which is not to say shallcatop is in that chorus. Last time this happened some people got rather hot under the collar and complained to BF rather loudly. So a nice thing BF did didn't happen for another 4 years. |

Please don’t get me wrong; I’m not complaining. If I was, I’d have emailed Big Finish and tried to pursue a discount be applied to my pre-orders. And I certainly don’t begrudge people taking advantage of the other, it’s terrific.
I just think BF including pre-orders in the offer is a mistake.

Just in case you don’t know, there’s another code that’s valid until the 31st which is 15% off Main Range Audios I think. Where'd you see that? I don't recall hearing about that one. |

I know there was a 15% one for October for MR releases but I think it was for attendees at a convention, not one sent out to all, if we're talking about the same one.
