CRITERION FLASH SALE Starting OCTOBER 19, 2021 Noon ET for 24 HRS
CRITERION FLASH SALE Starting OCTOBER 19, 2021 Noon ET for 24 HRS
Just got an email announcing the sale plus a $10 Reward Code (Gift Certificate) so if you're on the mailing list, might want to check
In the last couple sales no PROMO CODE was needed and prices have automatically been changed to 50% after the sale starts.
50% off MSRP (not current/Usual price) all in-stock movies -- DVD, BD, Includes Eclipse set, but not general merchandise. Backorders and pre-orders usually haven't been allowed. Items will go OOS so don't wait too long though the last few sales, many things did come back into stock at least once if not several times during the sale.
The website usually gets hammered in the first couple hrs so be patient.
Free Shipping at $50 in the Lower 48 US otherwise $6.95 flat rate shipping USPS or $10.95 UPS Ground
Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, PO Box, APO/FPO USPS PRIORITY MAIL
FREE SHIPPING has always been calculated before applying any promo rewards or Gift Certificates are deducted. I think it's also pre-tax so 49.97 + tax isn't free.
No International orders other than Canada. The last few sales, a CA site www.unobstructedview.com has run a parallel sale of 40-50% off items with lower shipping costs and shipped from within
the borders so faster and no worries about extra customs fees.
DHL Express $23USD Flat Rate
Customs and Brokerage fees added by Delivery Service/Collected at Delivery and are the responsibility of the customer
Sales Tax has been expanded and now required for Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington and Washington D.C., West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Criterion Loyalty program -- $50 Gift Cert for every cumulative purchase of $500 even if it takes 5 years. In the past those loyal rewards certs are sent via email almost immediately and are eligible for immediate use.
If you are close to $500 and have enough total items, I'd suggest making an order just big enough to qualify for the Loyalty Cert plus FS, then make another $50+ order with the extra money rather than make one large order and then have to wait 6 months for the next flash sale though the GC/Rewards don;t expire. You can load them into your account and the $$$ will be available next sale.

Re: CRITERION FLASH SALE Starting OCTOBER 19, 2021 Noon ET for 24 HRS
Thank you hariseldon for the work you do providing us with all the information on this sale .
I get promo emails from Criterion but didn't get the announcement for this sale and therefore did not get the $10 Reward code. Perhaps I haven't ordered enough from Criterion directly. The last $10 Reward code I got was in 2020 per a check of old emails. It was to buy a movie for comfort during the pandemic.
Update: Turns out I never used $10 off Criterion sent in March 2020 and it still works. It was entered as a Gift Certificate and not a Promo Code. Promo Codes are entered in cart before check out. Gift Certificate entered during check out as a form of payment.
Waiting for sale to start to complete check out.
Had everything in cart. Finished checking out at 12:03 PM

The Complete Monterey Pop Festival
Straw Dogs
Those two were enough for free shipping, so I'm calling it quits there.

Cleared out the Wish List after skipping a couple of sales to make doing so worthwhile.
The Parallax View
Memories of Murder
Nightmare Alley
Pickup on South Street
Throw Down
The Incredible Shrinking Man
Onibaba
Parasite
Also earned my next $50 certificate. Hope to use that on ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA in a future sale (next year, I assume)
Just got the e-blast for the Canadian "inventory only" version of this sale at Unobstructed View, but happy to stick with Criterion and ship to my US address. Even though I can't pick up my parcels across the border yet, there's still a significant savings.

With all the talk of shipping delays all my recent orders from these various sales have come super quick. Arrow, Criterion, Shout, Target; all arrived in like four days or less.
