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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
