Yeah, they put the kibosh on the extra "no rush" incentives quick. Now you have no choice of a delivery time frame (that you already paid handsomely for).
I don't have a problem with throttling the shipping/delivery of certain categories of product during a prolonged crisis like this. What I have a big problem with is having paid a premium in advance and not getting a pro-rated refund or credit when it happens.
As usual, the penalty isn't on the multi billion dollar corporation, it's the end consumer that takes it up the keester without lube. I'd love to drop Prime, especially as my finances contract greatly- but it's almost like I can't afford to. If I need something small, I like to have the ability to order it and not have to bundle it with other things to get over a free ship threshold.

(drool) Nice! Where did you get it? Used? New? Get a good deal?
Funny how it's always the stuff I pass on, with the expectation that a lower cost version will inevitably show up, that never materializes.
I really regret missing that one. Even the first season DVD set is OoP now.

Congrats!
$300 is probably fair for this as I recall prices jumped when it went OoP quickly. Haven't been following them lately, but I remember the set seemed really expensive when it was originally released, which is why I'd held off.
With so many people out of a job right now and scrambling for cash, it's gotta be a buyer's market - if you still have a job and money to spend.

Again won’t have till Mayish, but sounds like a great movie and addition. I’m excited. I love these historical dramas.
