Criterion.com Flash starting March 18, 2025 at Noon ET -- please note the details are copied from last sale and I haven't double checked for changes -- esp in shipping costs so pleast let me know if I need to make edits.


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.

Strange: I didn't get an e-mail from Criterion about the flash sale, and I haven't gotten an e-mail confirmation about the order I placed. They ordinarily send out an announcement when their flash sales go live. On the plus side, I did get the e-mail last week that included the coupon code.

In case anyone cares, I ordered:
The Wages of Fear 4K
The Grifters 4K
No Country For Old Men 4K
Winchester '73 4K
Drugstore Cowbay 4K
A Woman of Paris BR

Yeah, I haven't gotten a confirmation yet either or an email about the sale. It seemed like the site was running real slow so maybe they're having some technical issues?

Site was slow. Also the wish list function was wonky -not confirming it was in the cart and then there were six under quantity. Word to the Wise check the quantity of the titles in your cart before you check out.

I did receive an order confirmation email.

Finally got my order confirmation about 10 minutes ago. Phew! I'll be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

Edit: Also finally got the announcement of the sale 10 minutes after they sent me confirmation of the order I placed during the sale. Better late than never!

Seems I usually don't get their flash sale email until after the sale actually begins, and same today (though I did get it around 2pm)...

Not sure yet if I'm getting anything this time -- maybe the Godzilla BD boxset for my GF perhaps... though she might be happy enough to just stream from my TCC sub for now until/unless those get removed at some point I guess...

Like most everyone else -- Flash Sale email after 2pm ET. My first order around 12:30pm ET took almost 45 min for the CC pending charge to post, the order confirmation email to come, and the pts to add to my acct to kick me over the next $50 Cert limit. Usually I have an order ready to go and do it in the first couple minutes and all those things happen within minutes. Once the Cert email came in, I made my 2nd order and it still took 15-20 min to confirm (sale email came at the same time as my 2nd order confirmation).

FWIW, I received my email notification of the sale at 2:02 ET.
It looks like there were two different emails one before the sale that went to a limited number of people ...
1742333874633.png

And, a second one that went to a separate but not equal list of loyal Criterion customers that featured a misunderstood creature ... (except to Bambi's family...)

Time on left is Mountain Standard Time (which currently comports to Pacific Daylight Time which is three hours behind Eastern Daylight Time which is about 2PM Eastern Daylight Time ...)

It's too bad nobody posted anything on HTF about it ;) ...

I've had a $10 credit on there for yeeeaaars and I'll probably never use it

Winchester ‘73, Thief and Straw Dogs for me. Considering my $10 coupon would expire in a year, I used it without qualifying for free shipping. Still a few dollars cheaper than the Barnes and Noble 50% sales without the coupon.

Since OCT 2022 Flash Sale though the first few sales, the $75 was calculated in a odd way. The last couple sales they did finally correct it
