Amazon never gives any indication as to when a sale will expire. They have had sales that have ran for a month and others that were killed after a day. The prudent policy is to not sit on the fence and get your order in while the getting is good.

Thanks, souvenir. I wanna pick up Do the Right Thing and Arkadin, but want to get some funds in line first. Good to know I've got some time.

It took them like 3 or 4 days just to ship mine out (maybe 5), but once it did ship, it arrived here the next day. I guess that's about right.

I ordered Mr. Arkadin this morning (8 AM) and before 9 AM they said they couldn't combine it with another order I had placed earlier since it was being prepared to ship.

I just got the shipping notice tonight. Was your guys projected delivery dates like 10+ days? It says May 22nd. If it came tomorrow I'd be amazed.

Looks like all the Criterions are back to normal price. I'm still waiting for them to ship Short Cuts. I already received my first order with M and Mr. Arkadin.
