The New Collage

I just placed an order with Collage. I am loving the new competitive pricing! Plus, I love the free shipping over $25! I will be ordering there a lot more now.

I'm happy to see that their prices are finally lowered after all this time of VFers begging them to do it. I haven't ordered anything from them in probably two years.

But, is their shipping any faster? It takes a week or more to get something from them to my house. Plus, they just toss the DVDs into an envelope and the discs get loose and scratched in the box by the time I get them.

I'm so spoiled by Amazon. DVDs are usually shipped in boxes. I order something and it's here in two days, baby! (I have a Prime membership and it is worth every penny to me.)

On their shipping options, they list free shipping with a longer delivery time. Here's a c&p:

Standard shipping: Ships on Monday, Jan. 31. Usually arrives in 2 to 5 business days.

Free shipping: Ships on Monday, Jan. 31. Arrives in 5 to 9 business days. Total shipping will be $0.00.


I ordered a couple of items on Thursday, and got my shipping confirmation on Friday. It's by USPS. I presume the free shipping is media mail. I did it before and got my items super quick, but I think I was lucky.

If you check their weekly sale items, you can sometimes get DVDs for a real bargain. My most recent order was for Patrick's Lean Hot Body as Collage is the only vendor that sells it (besides Patrick himself who charges CA taxes at 9%). I noticed Seasun's The Next Step in the weekly sale for $6.98! So that put me over the top for free shipping. I'm such a sucker that way.

I haven't ordered from Collage in a while; most of my purchases are used through Amazon Marketplace. But when I have ordered, their shipping has been quick. I receive orders from Collage and orders from Mary at Total Fitness in the same amount of time.

I'm sure people have different experiences, but I almost always order from mary and I am totally spoiled. I ordered from collage once, and it took a few days to ship, then over a week to get to me. Mary's is always here in a few days.

I think the lower prices are temporary, expiring in mid-February.

The lower prices are fine and dandy, but Collage's prices for international shipping are still uncompetitive - $12 for the first DVD and $4 for each additional DVD.

International members have been asking about this in the forum, and Collage's response has been pretty lame - that they had too many international shipments going astray, so they're sticking with their current carrier. Funny that TotalFitness DVDs, Advanced Workouts, and Amazon don't have that problem.

That's correct. I don't recall the last date either, but it's mentioned in their latest catalog.

I've ordered from them through Amazon several times and my orders have always arrived within days. Their service, to me, is just as good as Mary's.
