Does phillips always ship 2 for the price of 1?

I was fortunate enough to get a couple of DirecTivo's with the free circuit city deal, but both of them had bad remotes. I called in to get replacement remotes, and instead of getting 2 remotes, I got 4.

Anyone here know whether they'd want the extra's back? I don't have the number any more, but I suppose tivo customer care will know who I could send these to...

If not, I guess I've got a couple of spares...

On another note, I placed my first order from the tivo store last week, after problems with fedex not getting the package here on time friday, i was finally able to pick up my package today. However, the main item I ordered (the fleece blanket) Didn't arrive. It wasn't listed on the packing list either, but it WAS listed in the shipment confirmation email I received.

Anyone want to trade 2 Dtivo remotes for a fleece blanket? http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/smile.gif

They didn't ask for my bad remotes. Asked for two and got two.

I was asking not if they wanted the bad ones back, but rather the 2 extra ones they sent me...

I just bought a DirecTivo from CC. How did you get yours for free and is it still possible?

Near the end of last month CC was selling Direct TiVos for $99 with a $100 rebate, so the units were pretty much free. Don't think that deal is available right now, but keep your eyes and ears open.

Sorry ERB... I caught the $100 rebate that expired last month.

If you are getting the Sony Tivo, the rebate is still available:

$200 for DTivo, $100 for SA.

Great service from the Tivo Store... I emailed them yesterday to tell them the blanket I ordered hadn't arrived with my other items, and they overnighted one out to me, got it this morning.

Thanks Tivo!

What is normal delvery time from the TiVo store? I ordered a replacement remote on 10/9 (at least that's the day my credit card was charged), and I haven't received anything.

I guess I had the evil brother shipping clerk. I ordered replacement remotes for 2 DTivo's and got 1 even though the packing slip said the shipped 2. I called the other day and thay said they would send me the other one.

Robb,
Texas is generally a four day transit time from our store. I sent you a PM asking you for more info. There may be a problem with your shipment. Check your PM's please.

Shipping them back would probably cost more to Philips than they are worth or the cost to fix them.

Posted by: Gai-jin

Re: cost of shipping back the remotes -- This is probably true. Guess I'll just keep the extras then.

Re: Tivo store delivery time, I believe the website says if you order before 10am it should ship the same day, otherwise next day. I am not sure if mine shipped next day, I think it took 2 days to ship, and I ordered 2 day air service. Fedex botched the delivery though, and instead of getting the package to me on friday before I left town, didn't get it to me till wednesday when I got back. (The package spent 2 nights in an oakland warehouse before it got on a plane for Omaha...)

Re: The blanket I received from the tivo store-- Love it, nice blanket, thin, but fairly warm... color is nice, tivo logo looks really sharp. I have but one complaint about it... the pocket is too small for a full grown man's size 11's. Other than that, it's great.

What is a "pocket" on a blanket? Also, does the blanket come in a King size for a King size bed?
