The Criterion Collection

No cancellation email yet, but no shipping notification either. To be honest I don't expect these to be honored, but like CG I'd like to be refunded sooner rather than later if they are going to cancel.

Yeah, I really would like to know so I can spend the money on next week's releases. If it goes through I might have to wait to buy Brakhage but will get Stagecoach either way.

Since we went in a rush last night, I made 3 different orders with this place. So hope it doesn't take forever to refund all 3.

I made 11 orders, because I didn't want to miss out on anything sitting in my cart too long while browsing for other titles.......

Only "That's Entertainment - Complete", that was the only Blu-ray I saw and it was for $16 I think.

Within the last 5 minutes (last I checked) I have just now received cancellation emails for all 11 orders

I made 3 orders myself, 2 of them earlier this morning rather than last night. Still no cancellation notices, but I'm pretty sure my first order was one of the later ones, they're probably on their way.

You can't get us all Amazon!!!!!!!

Well not me yet.

[oyboe]

Same here - 2 of my orders cancelled. Waiting for the 3rd.

[kndy]

All orders cancelled... Damn! = Blue Balls

[SpiderBaby]

Am I the only one without a canceled order?

[Jwilly019]

Received my first cancellation, oddly enough it was for the last order I made, not one of the earlier 2.

"Shop smart, shop S...mart or Supermart."

By any chance did anyone buy from other merchants who lowered their prices to match SuperMart?

I wasn't even thinking of doing that.

Store stock on Criterion titles is always a mystery. My local Best Buys in MN the week M was released didn't stock it at all. Yet it looks like something as obscure as By Brakhage will be stocked in many stores.

I guess you never can tell. Whichever group is in charge of buying etc for titles has no rhyme or reasoning to title selection.

I think By Brakhage will be cheaper however even if you buy it at Barnes & Noble just with membership, you auto get 10% off plus the additional 10% takes it tp 64.79 Best Buy.com has it at 69.99 which more more than likely be in store price.

I will be buying this in store only since I don't want to get shipped a dented up box set. It has to be mint or I won't buy it.

No..... and when I read that someone stated merchants did this....... I didn't know what he was talking about, because when I would place my orders, I was actually scrolling down consciously, and deliberately, to see how low (or high that is) the next price was....... just to feel better about the money I was spending.......

I didn't see one other merchant offering 60-70% + off MSRP prices......... NOT ONE.

My Oshima set has a dent in the top corner, I was so mad, until I thought for a moment that it wasn't the end of the world.
