Re: B&N - 50% off Criterion Sale
My experience is that even with the "upgraded" member shipping, BN shipments take forever and a day. Every once in a while something will sneak through quickly, but those are certainly the exception. Now that the USPS has gone to hell, I assume it's even worse.

Re: B&N - 50% off Criterion Sale
Okay, so one central location. But, curious as to why dex14, who lives in the East coast gets his shipment in like a day, but me who lives in California it takes well over a week via UPS. I've ordered from BN before and it's always a slog for merchandise to come to my location.

Managed to get through this one unscathed but the fall one might get me for Shrinking Man.

Re: B&N - 50% off Criterion Sale
I ordered from Amazon for same day delivery:
Pink Flamingos BD 19.99 plus tax
Shaft 4k 24.99 plus tax
I might stop in B&N just to peruse but in all honesty it's not really worth going in anymore.

Re: B&N - 50% off Criterion Sale
Went to my local B&N this morning and found 7 or 8 people buzzing around the section--like-minded souls!
Picked up Worst Person in the World and Double Indemnity. Will grab Devil in a Blue Dress later this month...

Any significant sci-fi or swordplay titles recently released? I just bought stuff in the Arrow sale so I may have to skip this one.
