Mine too. It went from Oakland to Kentucky and I live in Southern California!

Seems UPS sends a lot of their stuff through Kentucky. I live on the West Coast too and often have it shipped from WC to Kentucky back to the WC.

Seems everything is now dead except for Border Radio.

Monsters and Madmen is currently on back-order, which is why a lot of people's copies haven't shipped and had their expected receipt date change. On it's listing at amazon, it says "more inventory should be in on Oct.2"

I just hope they honor the sale price when they get stock in. I haven't had any cancellation emails and my order still reflects the sale price...so I'm optimistic. Weird sale at any rate.

It's amazing. I check the bargain forum perhaps 99 out of every 100 days, but the one day I skip I'll miss a deal like this one.

I did get in on this one, but I do feel your pain. Awesome deals in the "hot deals" forum once in awhile as well, I've missed some doozys by not checking that more often.

Yeah, I check every day, too, but the day after Christmas last year I was at my in-laws, so I mised out on a really good B1G1 deal at Amazon. Somehow, I don't regret not getting box sets last Dec 26. :)

I hope Amazon honors these prices.

Considering that there are thousands, if not tens of thousands, who visit this site pretty regularly, it's basic probability theory that more than just a few will miss out on any given bargain.

I think it's worthwhile for DVDTalk to have a kind of alerting system wherein every DVDTalk user get individual e-mails for terrrific deals/price-mistakes. Of course, you need to have specific filters on your mail account which forwards your e-mail as SMS to your cellphone so you don't miss the party. ;)

Crap! Oh well, at least I'll have it by Halloween.

Pretty much my reaction as well, with my fingers crossed that Amazon doesn't try to screw everyone over in the meantime. :)

I got my order of Monsters and Madmen Shipped today, with the price of $29.00. Everyone ordered before the price changed should get it soon.

Looks like Border Radio & The Flowers of St. Francis are shipping for sure (cannot be cancelled), but same as everyone else re: Monsters and Madmen. I'm optimistic. :)

I made two orders with Amazon, and both of them are listed as Not Yet Shipped.

#1 Monsters and Madmen and Green for Danger

#2 La Dolce Vita and The Stephen King Collection.

One would think that #2 at least would have shipped by now.

I ordered Monsters and Madmen and Woman Ascends Sunday morning with free shipping. I later changed it standard shipping Sunday night because I wanted them to ship before they could change the price.

Both shipped yesterday morning.

Received order today with free shipping option:
The Flowers Of St. Francis, A Canterbury Tale, Jigoku and When A Woman...
Was inside mailbox which meant USPS delivered it.

Package was waiting for me when I got in tonight.

Going to check out Green For Danger tonight.

I didn't order the Madmen box, but my order still hasn't shipped. Everything I order from Amazon seems to take a long time before they decide to ship, even if it seems like it's in stock.

madmen in hand - green for danger in hand - waiting on equinox (shipped)

Order has arrived. Thanks OP!

Finally entered the shipping soon phase!:banana:

Couldn't help noticing the 2 dvd's right there at the bottom of the package. Aren't they supposed to be in Monsters and Madmen Criterion box ?

Got an e-mail saying my Monsters set has shipped and is scheduled for delivery by "A1 Courier Service". Who is this carrier? I can't recall ever hearing about them.

punit - good eye. They are in the set it is just turned backwards.

Barnes & Noble tend to use them around the major metropolitan areas-- like in NYC for their same day shipping. I can't recall if I've had Amazon ship to me that way, but they've been pretty reliable (and quick) in my experience.
