Perfect sense, and thank you. A lot of damage on the part of USPS and UPS both lately, has me on edge.

They have 2 brand new Criterions I want for only pennies more than what next month's B & N sale would cost me with sales tax.

I've e mailed them, asking if they use a sturdy box to ship in, since these are Criterions, but thought I'd ask here as well.

Thanks in advance.

Check their feedback and their seller ratings. Pay attention to the 141 negative feedback comments and the 146 neutral feedback comments. Also look at their "Item as Described" rating versus the other three seller ratings. That should tell you everything you need to know to make a decision.

I did, and at less than 1% of nearly 40,000 orders, I'd say "not bad."

Just try not to be a part of that 1%

Amen to that. Last week, after the flash sale, Criterion themselves sent my purchase in that "winged corrugated " thing, which my mailman was more than happy to bend, and tear.

That raises a question: how many standard blu rays does it take in one order before Criterion sends them in a box?

If a USPS driver crushes a package in their truck with no one else around does it make a sound?

[CriterionBlues]

Okay, going into official Criterion watch mode. Could this be the day?



Predicting:

Snowblood
Mishima
The Kid
Gilda
The New World

Nah, its 4/5. I got mine sent in one of those cardboard things too.

No, because their boss, The Postmaster, says " problem ? there's no problem."

That must be new. My smallest order was 3 blu rays and they've always come in boxes.

Ugh...thanks to you I added several more titles on buy it now eBay sales.
I am now 7 titles away from being blu-ray complete (not including a few unreleased films I have not pre-ordered).

Maybe it varies by order. Last week I had a flash sale order with 5 and it was a box.

[Jobla]

These aren't predictions, just titles that I would like:

HARDCORE (1979)
MATEWAN
CARNIVAL OF SOULS upgrade
WISE BLOOD upgrade
A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE
BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS
BLOOD AND ROSES
PRIVATE PROPERTY (1960)

Yeah, I ordered the John Cassavetes box set and it that box came in a box Just curious, I always order enough to get the free shipping and that usually means three normal releases or a box set.

I'd love to see Beyond the Valley of the Dolls!

Don't know why but I get the impression this is one of those days that it'll get delayed until tomorrow...

Thanks for not going after my choices, I got over there fast wondering if they might have been bought by you.

Just no point in my waiting for B & N, if I can come within $.65 of having it sooner.
