I just did a comparison of 6 DVD on my wish list.
The DVD were: Cathe High Reps Cathe STS Total Body ASAP Hollywood Bootcamp Ellen Barrett slim sculpt Ellen Barrett Barefoot Cardio Firm Zero in 10 Total Fitness with 10% discount $92.56 Collage $95.94 Amazon $106.35 all included US shipping If I would have just chose the two Cathe's and the Firm Zero in 10, Collage would have been the better deal. |

I buy most of my vid's from TotalFitness these days. Between the free shipping for $19 and above, the 10% discount, cheaper prices & the new rewards system, I can always get a good deal. And I don't think Collage's customer service is any better than TF. And TF has DVD's that Collage doesn't always carry. And I get my orders pretty darn fast, so it's more than comparable in my opinion.

I never understood why Collage didn't have lower prices (at least a bit under the suggested retail price. I'd think it would have brought them more business. I buy from Collage occasionally, but mostly from Mary or sometimes from Amazon.com .

I also appreciate the lower prices on Collage and wish they were permanent. That being said, whether I order from Mary or Collage, it still takes the same amount of time to get to me- usually 7-10 days. I don't think one uses a faster shipping method than the other. Collage is in Minnesota and Mary is in Wisconsin. That's not much of a difference in shipping times to Georgia when both are using USPS. The only place I can count on to get my DVDs to me in about 3 days is Amazon. Fitness Favorites is also pretty fast but they're practically next door to me.

Collage also has workouts that Mary doesn't carry--that works both ways.
I order from both Mary and Collage, Amazon Marketplace and sometimes Advanced Workouts. Today I finally placed an order with Mary (smallest order I've ever placed with her! ) and I also placed one with Collage. I live in Minnesota so I have to pay sales tax with Collage, which is the only drawback. Most of my orders go to Mary due to the sales tax, 10off, plus her rewards program. Now if Collage would do the 10off discount and start a rewards program, I think that would boost their sales. I appreciate their sale and effort. I do feel obligated to buy from them a few times a year because I use their video clips. I think that's the least I can do. |

I called Collage about when the sale prices would end and the person there told me that the online prices were subject to change at any time (catalog prices were a different matter, I think) but that Collage is now trying to stay competitive with Amazon and their other competitors on pricing. So, they should (supposedly) have sale prices on things pretty often. I love the workout breakdowns they provide so was happy to place an order from them last week - low prices on 4 dvds!. I ordered from Total Fitness, too, of course . As to why I ordered even more dvds when I am currently injured...well, I am a vidiot.
