CAGiversary!
That damn directors selection has gotten me twice, now the first time, the movie was Collateral which I wanted anyways. So no harm, no foul...but THIS TIME it was Lemony Snickets...I DONT WANT NO fuckING LEMONY SNICKETS!!! I know I can return it, but I having to go through this ordeal...
 
I only missed it once I think, and there's no real ordeal involved. If you get a package from them you didn't order just right "Return to Sender" on the box and stick it back in the mail.
 
I had a few of the directers choice sent to me but I mailed them all back. Then they cancelled my subscribtion because I did too many returns. Good for me since I never bought a DVD towards completing the deal other than when I first got in on the deal and they offered the first selection at 9.99. So I ended up with 5 dvd's for 2.39 each.

Will they let you since you already opened it?
 
They'll let you tape it up, in the future just check online, they keep track of your shipments, it'll show if it was a director's selection and it's easier than taping it all up. In fact I handled everything online, it was much easier. Or with even less hassle, if you didn't personally order anything, then just send it right back (or sneak a peek at the invoice before breaking the seal of the package).

I know it's worth it but I just don't want to put in the effort right now. :lol:
 
Some some dumb reason on my part, when I saw Columbia house. I thought, hey a post about coffee. No idea why, time for me to go to bed.
 
Columbia House email me with new director's selection. The email contains link to their web site to either accept or decline their director's selection before they ship it. I haven't had any problem with them shipping a director's selection to me that I don't want.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't they charge you the remaining amount that you were required to have purchased according to the contract?

You are charged a Due by Contract payment at the end of your membership (usually 2 years) if you haven't purchased the required number of selections at regular price. You are then issued a voucher to redeem for those remaining selections.
 
I had this problem a long time ago, before they did anything online. I think I may still be a delinquent in their records.

You knew how it worked when you signed up. Why hate them? Hate yourself for not responding quickly enough. Better yet, hate nobody and just go through "this ordeal" or write off the loss.
