I wish Chinatown were a bit lower - even after 25% off, the total is still $16.42 - a grand total of 39% off! I received the 10% off coupon, but none of my other wish-list items are part of the sale. I'm mulling The Organizer, but need another item for free shipping, and I'm up to date on my Criterions, except for the four I want that aren't part of the sale.

There are some very good Criterion deals - prices lower than they would be during the B & N sale. With the rumors that B & N won't be accepting coupons during the sales any longer, I went ahead and ordered Lean/Coward for $46.44 and Harold and Maude for $18.87. These (I'm sure there are others) were not on sale:
Summer Interlude
Summer with Monika
The Gold Rush
39 Steps

and anyone looking for Crits all in one place and missed the link:

Ah, screw it - with the additional 10%, plus 4% CB, my total was $14.12. With a list of $26.99, I can't see it getting much lower on Amazon any time soon. The Organizer was only $12.11 after discounts, so I couldn't resist, even though it wasn't a title I had planned on buying.

Yeah, I can't figure out how to get the 10% code either...
NEVERMIND. It worked when I opened it in the Chrome incognito window.

(Sigh) Still no indication on my wish list page that an item is eligible for the discount. They seem to WANT to make it hard to order from them.

Damn, I just noticed that Plan 9 is $8.69 before the 10% off, but I have nothing left to pair it with for free shipping, and I've already used my 10% code.

I had ordered David Lean Directs Noel Coward, Letter Never Sent & A Night To Remember from Amazon the other day, but the prices here (except Night) were better even with CA taxes, so I cancelled those items as well as my Criterion.com order for the Alexander Korda's Private Lives Eclipse and bought them here.
I ordered:
42nd Street Forever: The Blu-ray Edition
Schoolgirl Report #8: What Parents Must Never Know
A Hollis Frampton Odyssey Blu
Late Spring Blu
David Lean Directs Noël Coward Blu
Letter Never Sent Blu
The Organizer Blu
The War Room Blu
¡Alambrista! Blu
Harold And Maude Blu
Eclipse Series 16: Alexander Korda's Private Lives

Not my day... I used the second 10% code with a second account, combining Plan 9 with A Night to Remember, but through a combination of technical problems with DD's site and Safari not seeming to recognize any of the buttons on DD's site - I had to click on 'return' for each stage, instead of the button prompts, which I've never had to do in Firefox - I was charged full price for both items. Since you cannot manually cancel an item, I had to send them an email - I'm guessing they'll now be alerted to duplicate accounts in their system and cancel the order (and possibly my other orders as well), rather than adjust the price to reflect the two discounts. Last time I tried to order using coupons with multiple accounts, they cancelled the second order.

Knowing how terrible DD's customer service is, how likely are they to adjust the price/cancel the order before it ships? I was losing my mind trying to place the order on Safari - I've never used the browser before, so perhaps it was my settings, but none of the 'action' buttons did anything, and I kept getting error messages anyway. Clicking return got me to the final stage, at which point the discount codes disappeared and the order went through at full price. What a headache! Now, because of their technical problems and Safari's inexplicable issues, I'm out an order, and will likely have to ship the items back and wait for my refund. Of course, you could argue that I shouldn't have used a second account, but it was only to save myself a lousy three bucks. Bah!

Does anyone have an extra 10% code? Maybe I can re-place my screwed-up order.
Edit: Nevermind, I'll wait and see what they do.
