My order status has been "being packed for shipment" for 4 days now. I'm not sure if the website doesn't get updated or there is some type of delay. This hasn't happened before.

Same is true for me. I typically order within the first hour of the sale and have my discs within 2 or 3 days. Something's obviously different this year.

I just got my shipping notice today.

I got the $10 coupon for being a Criterion Channel member. But I opted to pass this time around. The coupon code doesn’t expire until September.

with all due respect, seems like an odd decision Deej. Next flash sale won't be till October/November, and the coupon is only good on the site. So you'll use it sometime this summer presumably, but it won't be a 50% off sale.

Just got an email that my order has shipped.

Just to be clear, my order "shipped" the day after the sale but when I checked the tracking it said the USPS was still waiting to receive the package. That was true as late as yesterday morning. But when I checked it this morning, it was already out for delivery. So apparently it had been traveling through the system, but the tracking didn't reflect it.

Still waiting for my order to ship.

I just got an email from the Criterion Collection:

Starting today, all discs are 30% off SRP through May 25 at criterion.com—including preorders! Use our curated guide to shop from over 1,300 films on 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD.

It did ship a few days later. I've watched a couple of the movies I ordered. I need a couple months off to watch all the movies I have that I haven't had time to watch yet.

I'll wait for the 50% off sale. I do have $30 stashed on CC that don't expire until the fall. When does the next 50% off sale on CC take place? I also don't want to lose the $30, so maybe I'll get a title. /firstworldproblems

Usually around October/November

Ah. I think the $30 expires in September. I'll double check. Might have to bust a move earlier than expected.
