Re: Hurricane. That was my concern, too. This was one of the few times I bought something mainly because it was going OOP and I didn't want to pay insane prices to get it on ebay. Not sure if I would have bought it otherwise. Will not do this again. I have bought too many good/great films from this sale.. Looking forward to getting those to watch!

Just started Zaza. I picked it up because their is so little Swanson available.
While I only paid $12; I am really disapointed in the lack of ANY scratch removal considering the $30 list price.
I should probably switch to the noir box, which I know I'll like!

Succumbed and placed an order that's pretty sizable by my wallet's standards:
Road to Rio $8.98
Road to Bali $8.98
The Mark of Zorro (1940) $11.98
Planet of the Vampires $13.99
OSS 117: Five Film Collection $35.97
Captain Apache $7.98
Really Weird Tales $7.98
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (50th Anniversary Edition) $17.97
Subtotal: $113.83
Zorro, TGTB&TU, Vampires, and the Road pictures are all upgrades, which I am generally reluctant to pull the trigger on. But the Road movies and Mark of Zorro are some of my all-time faves, and Planet of the Vampires is should look great in hi-def.

The Bogart Deadline is an awesome print & the 2 I've played in the Noir box so far are very good prints. I could have easily spent another $400+ if I had it.

unfortunately, no - not everything has shipped. Certainly not all of my orders.
On their site they have the following:
====================================
Thank you if you purchased films as part of our Studio Classics Launch Sale.
Please note, it's come to our attention that we have been provided some incorrect tracking IDs that were unfortunately emailed to customers. Our apologies for this, but orders have been sent to correct address. We have put measures to stop this for future orders, and apologies for any confusion.
We received an unprecedented amount of orders that required us to have more inventory sent to our fulfillment center. The majority of the stock has now arrived and the center is working through the weekend to pack the thousands of Blu-rays and DVDs ordered.
As the fulfillment center sends us tracking IDs you should receive an email from Kino with a link to Fedex Smartpost. The final delivery of the package will be handled by the US Postal Service.
With this in mind we ask that you hold tight and refrain from tracking requests. We have the orders and we'd like to focus on getting everything packed and in the mail for you.
This is a new site and we appreciate that you've tried it out. Many improvements and upgrades are already in process.
Thank you!

Depends on the size of the order IMO.
I placed one order over the weekend for 21 titles. Probably won't ship until early next week. I ordered 22 titles during the last sale and they shipped them all together after a few weeks. I figure with free shipping they wait on larger orders and ship together to save shipping expense of multiple packages.

It just shocks the mind to see everyone of those sale titles now showing double the sale price. Until the next sale, Kino - you dented our wallets just fine

Kino is running a deal on "some" preorders today. I noticed OSS 117 is down to $32 and they added SpaceCamp for 14.97.

Just an fyi, your orders will receive a USPS link to the tracking number. This will not be valid in USPS's system and will come not found.
You will need to go to https://www.fedex.com/ and copy and paste your tracking number there to get an idea of where your package is and ETA.
Shipping is terribly slow, at least going by the delivery schedule (10 days). I think media mail would have been quicker.

MisterLime was posting over on Bluray some for the sale stats.
Top 30 items (Lifeboat and Paradine Case top 2)
Biggest orders,etc.
Largest single order was double 2nd place -- 271 items - $2800.
Nobody over there is claiming it though I think a couple of the Top 5 are international posters there
