does anyone know about this? i read on the site that at featured merchants, you can get an additional 10 bucks off your order...combine that with a merchant with free shipping and thats pretty cool!

Actually you can get an extra $20 off orders over $50. I used it on a Christmas gift I bought my husband at Ritz Camera. Didn't get free shipping though.

Please do your research before doing this!!! I just got ripped off of $170 from using the google check out at Toys R Us. Google took my money immediately, but after several days have not even forwarded my order to Toys R Us (meaning it will never get shipped before Christmas). Toys R Us is having tons of problems with the Google check out, and so is buy.com. I've shopped at Toys R Us lots before, and they are always great and ship immediately...just not when going through the google check out. They can't ship something that Google never told them about.

Use diligence and look through some search engines using "google checkout toys r us problem." See what comes up. For example:
http://www.kirb.com/Blog/index.php/2.../#comment-2194

I tried cancelling my order by calling Toys R Us. Since they never received the order, they could only send my request to Google and it will take 7-10 days to get my money back. I'm already short $$ this Christmas, let alone losing $170 for over a week.

Hope this helps!

That sucks that you had issues.... I've used the buy.com discound several times (so have a few of my coworkers) without any problems. I guess when you add a 'middle man' there's more room for error.

Dang, I was looking at that blog and found this:
http://www.kirb.com/Blog/index.php/2...sends-goodies/

Google hooked that guy up - I'm jealous! I want a google goodie pack!!

You should demand a goodie pack - and then I'll see if I have something I can trade you for it

Thanks, Grey! I am happy that you and your friends got items okay through the google check out.

I just wanted anyone thinking about using google check out to not be in any kind of a hurry... it may take a couple of weeks to get an order as opposed to a couple of days. Not the kind of thing I was planning on when ordering Christmas gifts. I wish they would put a warning on the site, "by using this checkout it may take several days longer..." I had even paid for quicker shipping to ensure I would get it on time.

Merry Christmas!

I just used google check out today for my DVD Empire order. I ordered at 10am and got notice that it shipped by 3pm (from both google and DVD Empire). I used 2 day shipping - so I guess we'll see if I really get it.

I ordered from Ritz Camera using Google checkout on Thanksgiving day and got my order exactly 1 week later. My only complaint is that no one ever sent me an email telling me my order had shipped.
