Criterion.com Flash starting October 22, 2024 at Noon ET (Presumptive Thread) -- going to jump the gun a little and start the thread ASSUMING the normal sale starts on Tuesday Oct 22. $10 Loyalty Customers certs have gone out which has been never 100% predictive in the past. EMAILS usually get sent out after 6pm ET Monday so watch if you aren't comfortable.
In case you didn't order the last couple of sales-- NOTE THE $75 Free Shipping threshold that went into effect sometime last year. There was a glitch in how FS had been calculated in a couple recently sales, but I think this was corrected at some point in March so $75 is now $75 in cart and not some other calculation or MSPR or Normal Criterion.com price.
50% off MSRP (not current/Usual price) all in-stock movies
DVD, BD, Includes Eclipse set, but not general merchandise. Backorders and pre-orders usually haven't been allowed. Items will go OOS so don't wait too long though the last few sales, many things did come back into stock at least once if not several times during the sale. The website usually gets hammered in the first couple hrs so be patient.
Free Shipping at $75 in the Lower 48 US otherwise $7.95 flat rate shipping USPS or $15.95 UPS
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, PO Box, APO/FPO USPS PRIORITY MAIL
FREE SHIPPING has always been calculated before applying any promo rewards or Gift Certificates are deducted. I think it's also pre-tax so 74.95 + tax in most of their sales.
No International orders other than Canada. The last few sales,
DHL Express $25USD Flat Rate
Customs and Brokerage fees added by Delivery Service/Collected at Delivery and are the responsibility of the customer
Sales Tax has been expanded and now required for Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin
Criterion Loyalty program -- $50 Gift Cert for every cumulative purchase of $500 even if it takes 5 years. In the past those loyal rewards certs are sent via email almost immediately and are eligible for immediate use.
If you are close to $500 and have enough total items, I'd suggest making an order just big enough to qualify for the Loyalty Cert plus FS, then make another $50+ order with the extra money rather than make one large order and then have to wait 6 months for the next flash sale though the GC/Rewards don;t expire. You can load them into your account and the $$$ will be there next sale.
Items added since last Flash Sale . Prices listed are MSRP -- assume BD's $40 unless noted. Most 4K are $50, Janus are $30 MSRP so 50% off af that -- not the currently listed Criterion.com price. 4K titles listed in Red.
Items released since end of last BN sale
For those only interested in 4K Items I think I pulled out this list though let me know if you errors
