Re: DVDs from UK
I get some great deals from www.sendit.com. Never paid duty on them, maybe because they charge and send them over individually. They are only valued a few pounds each. I even get some box sets for less than 15 quid. I get all my comedy/drama DVDs mailed over. :thumbsup:

I use www.cdwow.com for music and DVDs, free postage and packing world wide and have never paid any duty on them. Great offers sometimes.

What a load of twaddle, then whatch Pay per View costs a tad more but well up to date, or rent and buy from Blockbuster, still cheaper than waiting months for the post to bring some thing...:thumbup:
Each to their own, of course.:D |
Re: DVDs from UK
I've used sendit for a while and they are good. Only time I had a problem is when I ordered the complete Babylon 5 collection. Waited more than a month and it had not shown up, usually took about two weeks for things to come. Seems it was too big (ie; costly) for them to ship here so they'd cancelled the order. Would have been nice if they had told me!
That's the only problem I've had with them, and I've purchased quite a bit from them. Will check out cdwow, have a feeling that I've used them in the past too. If you were naughty and into the torrent thing, you could look at thebox.bz as I'm sure UK tv shows appear there ;) |

I don't know about you but if it is a film I have really enjoyed I like to watch it more than once, and as the tv over here is such crap we have watched several of them more than once or twice. |

Re: DVDs from UK
Hi All
Just an update about BLAH DVD from the UK, have brought loads of dvd and stuff, never had any probs from customs ( touch wood ) and they are really quick, had some dvds that arrived after 4 days , can't complain about that. catch you all later................ |
Re: DVDs from UK
I bought my last DVD's from amazon uk and didn't have to pay extra postage for sending to Canada - they came in split packages and I didn't get charge duty.
I always check the prices on all the sites and work out $ - £ what is the best deal even if I was to pay duty etc.. and with the present exchange rate the UK price always wins. I even priced the Apple Ipad and it is a better deal in Commet UK than BestBuy in Canada or US. the only think we have to watch is buying blue rays - it is hit or miss if they work, some do, some don't although we got told to buy a cheap blue ray (Walmarts) as it will play all regions. Disney DVD's in particuarly were lots cheaper in the UK - the only thing was we then don't get disneymoviereward points, although they now have a UK one so I can email the points to my daughter. |
