Thank you! Have always grabbed stuff from this sale stretching it out to the shipping threshold (is it still $200 ?) due to the value from it.

Forgot to post the shipping info earlier, but yes still $200 for FS to North America:

Our standard shipping policy applies for all sale items. For UK addresses, free tracked shipping applies to orders with a value of £50 or more. For EU, US and Canadian addresses, free tracked shipping applies to orders with a value of £200 or more. For the Rest of World, free tracked shipping applies to orders with a value of £250 or more.

Group buys are indeed a good idea, but even if that’s not an option, the shipping is does become more ‘reasonable’ the more you buy. For example, I tested a bunch of stuff:

3 singles from 3/£15 = £8.99 shipping ($11.67 US)
6 singles from 3/£15 = £10.99 shipping ($14.27 US)
9 singles from 3/£15 = £11.99 shipping ($15.56 US)
12 singles from 3/£15 = £13.99 shipping ($18.16 US)
15 singles from 3/£15 = £14.99 shipping ($19.46)

At 18 of these, shipping switches to UPS Worldwide Saver:
18 singles from 3/£15 = £17.78 shipping ($23 US)

The I test-added a Tod Slaughter box:

18 from 3/£15 + one £34.99 box set = £18.49 shipping ($24 US)

Then I test added two Rollin 4K sets to the above and shipping = £21.27 ($27.61 US)

And so on…

There’s not much I actually need from them right now as I have most of what I want from their catalogue (particular via the earlier boxed sets for Harryhausen, Hammer, Castle, Noirs, Ormond, as well as singles in previous sales over the years) and I recently picked up the Batwoman and Tod Slaughter sets from US retailers for about the same price as here. Still, I might give the 3/£15 selection a few passes to see if anything jumps out at me. :)
