Glad I didn't spend money on the Criterion sale - Kino is harder to come by. And opted to get $15 in Amazon Prime Pantry savings

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
Overall, the pricing on these Kino titles were better for American shoppers during the Amazon Canada sale -- not entirely, but mostly -- so for Americans stocking up on more than a couple of titles the savings could've been significant.
Some examples:
AN EYE FOR AN EYE
Current U.S. Price: $11.99
Former Canadian sale price: $11.75
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $8.93
THE NAKED FACE
Current U.S. Price: $13.49
Former Canadian sale price: $11.99CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $9.12
THE EMERALD FOREST
Current U.S. Price: $14.99
Former Canadian sale price: $11.99CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $9.12
METEOR
Current U.S. Price: $13.49
Former Canadian sale price: $10.99CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $8.35
NEEDFUL THINGS
Current U.S. Price: $13.49
Former Canadian sale price: $14.99CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $11.40
CONVOY
Current U.S. Price: $14.49
Former Canadian sale price: $13.49CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $10.25
THE PACKAGE
Current U.S. Price: $13.49
Former Canadian sale price: $10.49
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $7.97
TOPKAPI
Current U.S. Price: $12.99
Former Canadian sale price: $10.49CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $7.97
ENTER THE NINJA / X THE MAN WITH THE X-RAY EYES /
Current U.S. Price: $16.74
Former Canadian sale price: $13.99CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $10.64
PREMATURE BURIAL
Current U.S. Price: $16.99
Former Canadian sale price: $13.49CDN
Canadian price in U.S. Dollars: $10.25
In just about any larger order, the savings + no tax would've been greater than the added expense of shipping from Canada.
On the plus side, this U.S. sale includes closer discounts on titles that were still relatively new, and higher priced, during the Canadian sale, like Blown Away, Tales of Terror, Truck Turner, Deranged and probably a few others, but even there, the pricing would've been nearly the same, and you wouldn't pay the tax.
More of a plus: the new sale includes pre-orders like Satan Bug, Hornet's Nest, The Destructors, Busting and Defiance for $11.49, so those seem to be the real deals.
Any yes, i know in the end it all comes down to how many titles a person wants, speed of shipment, etc., but should this Kino sale become an annual thing, and should the Canadian dollar keep falling, it's probably worth keeping this info in mind for next year.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I stopped doing that one as the credits do not stack and Prime Pantry items tend to be a bit higher than local prices for me. Not only that but the $5 max credit per order *still* leaves you $1 short of the cost to ship a "Box" unless you can manage to take advantage of one of the "combine items for free shipping" offers.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I picked up Life Stinks and Cherry 2000 (I already own several of the titles in the sale unfortunately). I was going to pre-order Scissors which was also heavily discounted, but that would be a complete blind buy (couldn't even find a domestic trailer) so I'll wait.

But as you can see by the last post there, NINE titles were bought for pennies more than $10 US each, shipped. (the only title in the U.S. sale that comes close appears to be Black Sabbath at $9.99, which even I picked up!)
I gave it a shot and picked up 9.
The Package 10.49Can
Bouna Sera, Mrs Campbell 11.25Can
Mr Majestyk (DVD) 7.49Can
Meteor 10.99Can
Kings of the Sun 9.99Can
The McKenzie Break 9.49Can
Separate Tables 11.75Can
Topkapi 10.49Can
Taras Bulba (DVD) 8.25Can
S&H 25.90Can
Total 116.09Can = 91.67 US dollars
So $10 and change for each. Not bad with 7 of them BLUs.
Thanks OP.

Thanks OP.
Current prices, in USD, of those nine titles -- two DVDs duly noted -- on U.S. Amazon:
The Package 13.49
Bouna Sera, Mrs Campbell 11.99
Mr Majestyk (DVD) 10.99
Meteor 13.49
Kings of the Sun 15.49
The McKenzie Break 13.99
Separate Tables 13.49
Topkapi 12.99
Taras Bulba (DVD) 9.99
TOTAL: $115.91USD
Total if purchased in the Canadian sale and shipped to U.S.: $91.67USD
Difference: $24.24 USD
I could do this math for just about any order -- above five or six discs, I would suspect -- placed during this U.S. sale, and the equivalent order from the Canadian sale would have been cheaper.
And yes, I'm aware the Canadian sale is over and none of this is helpful now, BUT the Canadian dollar continues to fall against the U.S. dollar (yours is worth $1.32 up here today, and rising), and if that relationship maintains into next year and Kino decides to make this an annual thing, it only makes sense for Americans to stock up from Canada. Not sure if I can make it much clearer than that.
Still, if you're only after two or three, then the U.S. sale is fine.

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
I'm kind of hoping Kino does this more than once a year -- a la the various Criterion sales -- on both sides of the border. That way American buyers wouldn't have to wait until next summer. Hopefully we weren't just a test run up here. No one's predicting a dramatic rise in the Canadian dollar against the greenback anytime soon, but that's still a long ways off. My only regret in all of this was that I didn't open a U.S. dollar account with my bank back when our currencies were at par for most of last year. Could've saved even more buying and shipping my Canadian haul to (ironically) my U.S. mailbox!

Re: Amazon discounts and deals on Blu-ray
The prices were set very high, I agree. I think they weren't expecting many sales for them and wanted to charge as much as they could get away with. I doubt we ever get all of the I Love Lucy seasons on BD.
