Kino Studio Classics 'Academy Award' sale
Just got an email for this. A decent selection of titles for $11.98. As always, it might be worth checkering these at CamelX3 to see if they were $10 at Amazon at some point, but barring that it's not a bad price. Ends Feb. 26. Free shipping over $50.

Best deal of the bunch is this four-piece bundle with MARTY, ELMER GANTRY, COMING HOME and SEPARATE TABLES for $39.99:

Thank you - got the bundle and 'Boy on a Dolphin'. However, that website is skirting around with trouble. It doesn't show any applicable sales tax until Order is placed - by law it is required that the total cost including all taxes should be displayed prior to confirming/placing an order based on the ship to ZIP Code

Nice. Ordered the bundle and Witness for the Prosecution, Ox-bow, and The Stranger. It did show tax on my checkout before the order was placed.

Some folks over at Bluray have either received shipment or at least notices of shipping via Fedex.
Apparently KL doesn't send order confirmation or possibly even shipping notices. I'm not even sure the website order ever updated to "Shipped" or at least not until after the package arrived. The good news is it may have been the best packed box I've gotten in years rivaling or surpassing SAE packing
It's been a 18 months since I ordered from them, but that seems like what I remember. Some have called or contacted KL and gotten either shipping confirmations and maybe tracking numbers. I just put in a large order last night so mine is still too new

EDIT: Called KL at 800-562-3330. The order didn't come up with the Order Number I gave them but came up when looked up under my name, go figure. Its been dispatched by Fedex

I can see the order in my account so at least I know it registered plus the temp charge on my CC.
Fedex/UPS/USPS all allow some sort of free sign up to notify you when packages to your address have been registered in their system. I oftne find even with sites that send Shipping emails that UPS/Fedex will notify me before the retailer email shows up. I registered my main shipping address all services and works very well for single addresses, but no so well if you have 2 or 3 different shipping addresses (or variations of the address)

Re: Kino Studio Classics 'Academy Award' sale
Interesting, but at that price I have no problem with it. Sicne the films don't seem to share anything in common other than awards I guess it doesn't surprise me that Kino didn't design a special box for it like the Keaton or Selznick boxes. 3 of the 4 have been on my wishlist for a long time and several times I had them loaded in carts at $14-15ea and just couldn't pull the trigger
