In spite of the lame sale and increase in shipping I ordered a couple of items that were still less from them than a Amazon MP vendor. In prior sales I'd have ordered quite a bit more and items showing available in my "wish list" would have gone OOS very quickly. I don't think a single item in my "wish list" has gone OOS since the sale started - and I have a few long OOP items that they now have in stock - stuff that at 40% off would have flown out the door.

It's a $0.33 increase on the shipping. An increase is an increase, but this isn't that bad. It's not like when they took books from $0.96 per ORDER and changed it to a $3 base charge per order PLUS $0.99 per book in that order. That's a $3.03 increase on shipping if you just want to order one book.

Its not the shipping charges most people are pissed about. Its the unexpected steep jump in product prices. Like I mentioned, 'Sinister' used BD was hovering around the $6 mark in my wishlist for many weeks and this last week, it jumped up to $29...many others have reported similar observations. Even a rollback of shipping charges ain't gonna offset this jump in product price
