Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd
Just received Lost Complete Series today (from the lightning deal on Friday). My range of emotion went from excited to have, a little concerned on the price, to a little disappointed it didn't sell out (thus making it seem, to me, like it wasn't that hot of a deal). I kept telling myself that it was the same as the previous great special they had for $100/5 seasons, except that this had 6 seasons and a bunch of extras. I even had thought about trying to sell it on fleabay or CL.
However, now having it in my hands, I think I am going to keep this one. Besides, I've never had anything come from Amazon with foam shipping protectors...they did such a good job to get it to me in such good condition, it is the least that I can do.

My Lost set just shipped a minute ago. I felt both excitement, and pain from the forthcoming credit card bill...

Re: Amazon Black Friday Sales Start Monday, November 22nd
Is anyone else experience slow shipping with prime 2 day? I had a shipment that was supposed to arrive 11/24 via UPS and it didn't show up until 11/26. Had two BD's that were supposed to arrive today via USPS and the mail has come and gone with no package. One other order arrived on time.
Sort of makes me wonder why I pay for Prime when 2/3 of the shipments take longer than the promised 2 days.

From my understanding, Amazon (and other mega-big retailers) pay per the pound for their shipments - that's why it's easier/cheaper for them to send individual orders. Plus Amazon is shipping from multiple locations, so trying to consolidate someone's order may not be physically possible. --Peter

Every blu-ray I'd received until today was shipped individually in a box and shrink-wrapped to a piece of cardboard.
This afternoon, I got Batman Begins, TDK and Predators in an oversized box with no padding whatsoever. Needless to say, the Predators slipcover was fairly beaten up. Not worth complaining over - it's just ironic that this was the one order that would have benefited from being shrink-wrapped to some cardboard.

Hannibal Anthology lasted 12 minutes. Decided to get Shutter Island as well, breaking my $10 max Blu-ray rule but I'm telling myself I can break it once with my last order of this year's BF sales.
Thanks to Lizard for continuously posting the latest price drops on Amazon. It was a very big help although my wallet didn't particularly like it.
Til next year folks!

And with Shutter Island I am finished.
Thanks a lot to lizard for helping make this a black friday week success at amazon. I got 75 percent of my shopping done and lots and lots and ok probably too many treats for myself as well. I cant wait to get the back to the future set via ups in a few days.
