Worldwide list of mainstream retailers
<dl><dt>Argentina Retailers :
<dt>The sites that appear to accept international orders (Info. as of march05,02 based on what I could determine via language-translation sites) :
<dd>º http://www.dvdventas.com.ar/<dl><dd>if you click on "Ayuda", you are taken to a "Preguntas Frecuentes"(, i.e. FAQ) In it, there is mention of different methods of payment that are accepted. Towards the bottom of the page under the title "Zona Geográfica Días hábiles para la entrega" is a list of what countries to which dvdventas will ship. Therefore, this list seems to indicate shipping to all parts of the world. But I could not find a part of the site that lists specific shipping&handling fees. I also could not determine what is the significance of the click-able list of Latin American countries on the title page (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl>
<dd>º http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/<dl><dd>"Formas de Pago" is forms of payment; "Preguntas Frecuentes" is Frequent Questions". If you click on "Preguntas Frecuentes" and then "Compras", you'll find more information on both handling of credit card information & ordering (more information on this can also be found here: http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/terminos.html ), and wording that leads to the assumption that international orders are accepted : "y 35 pesos a países del resto del mundo" or "35 pesos to countries of the rest of the world". Further information (though still vague regarding international orders) can be found here: http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/s-cart/...s-exterior.html (Note: using http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/Medio.html seems to cause the site to load incorrectly with a lot of the site missing) (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl>
<dd>º http://www.musimundo.com or http://www.musimundo.com/librosol/inicio.cfm<dl><dd>(The site for me loads VERY slowly. Aside from that, I'm impressed with the layout/arrangement of the site and its contents. There's an FAQ/Help section if you click on the "?"-icon in the upper right corner. There's a table half-way down the page detailing the shipping&handling fees to different parts of the world (It appears that this site delivers worldwide) )</dl></dl>
<dl><dt>The Argentina retailers that do not seem to have any identifiable or clear statement or information regarding international orders :
<dd>º http://www.dvdnext.com.ar/<dl><dd>seems to be incomplete or at least not operating correctly (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl>
<dd>º http://www.lk-tel.com.ar or http://www.lk-tel.com.ar/home.asp<dl><dd>The only information regarding international orders that I could find was under "FAQ"-link. With a rough translation of the text under "Cómo debo de hacer para abrir una cuenta en Lk-Tel si quisiera poner un videoclub?: ", it appears that this site is a club that you must join first. And that each potential order is dealt with on a case-by-case basis depending on the location. (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl></dl><dl><dt>

<dd>º The best resource for any further information and/or discussion on Australian etailers is http://www.dvdplaza.com.au (Registration is req’d). All or almost all of the etailers have representatives who participate in the forum; this site will let you compare prices among the different etailers. If you place your name on dvdplaza’s email mailing list or else check the main page of their website, you will be kept up-to-date on upcoming sales.
<dd>º Other places for discussion and/or further information on Australian etailers :<dl><dd>(a) (dvdtalk’s) Australia DVD e-tailing questions
<dd>(b)"Suppliers Forum" over at http://www.thedvdforums.com/ (Registration req’d; also, there is a subforum for Family Box Office which has
a representative who answers questions there)
<dd>(c) "Regional DVD Area" over at the http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/index.php</dl>
<dd>º Bear in mind that all prices listed for items (and for shipping) at these etailers are in Australian dollars
<dd>º And prices for items at all the etailers include a 10% GST which will be deducted for all non-Australian customers during the process of purchasing your items (a quick way of figuring out the cost of an item without the 10%-GST is to divide the price by 1.10 )
<dd>º Some of the Australian etailers offer shipping by DHL. For further information, please click here

<dl><dt>• Comments
<dd>º Out of all the etailers that you see listed, amazon.de is (to the best of my knowledge) the only etailer that has ever been named as an etailer in Germany that is known to ship internationally
<dd>º The concensus is that, unfortunately, it takes an average of (at least) about four to six weeks for an item to reach a destination in the U.S.
<dd>º Furthermore, if the item in which you are interested has a "FSK18"–rating, strict laws forbid most German etailers (including amazon.de) from selling it
<dd>º An alternative is that you can place your order with an etailer in Switzerland. So far one of the dvdtalk-members has ordered successfully from http://www.uoe.ch/. The reported time for delivery was much better (I would have to look up his old posts, but I believe he said it was around one to two weeks)

Don’t know of any review sites, but not sure I’d believe the specs of a disc anyway (the covers are rarely correct).
Not one ever says "anamorphic" or "enhanced for widescreen", although the ones I’ve purchased do seem to be (just luck I guess). Most discs are produced locally by nu-metro (cinema company here).</dl><dt>• International Shipping<dl><dt>English Interface :

<dt>FWIW, there're some (limited) ratings/comments for Swiss retailers here :</dl></dl><dl><dt>
<dl><dt>• Comments
<dd>A few comments for the international customers :
<dd>VAT is an acronym for "Value Added Tax". The price that you will see for an item includes this tax. Some etailers (like amazon.co.uk) will remove this tax from the the cost of your purchase during the check-out process; the downside is that you will have to pay the cost of shipping.
<dd>With regard to those etailers that offer free shipping (or charge a nominal fee for shipping), again, the price that you will see for an item includes this tax. BUT the tax will NOT be removed during the check-out process. For the etailers, this covers their costs to ship the item
<dt>• International Shipping
<dl><dt>17.5% VAT is removed for non-European customers, but shipping is charged
<dd>http://www.amazon.co.uk
<dt>17.5% VAT is NOT removed for non-European customers, but shipping is free (or only a nominal fee for shipping is charged)

(I haven't had any time to explore what all this site offers. But after stumbling around, it appears as though you can proceed straightaway to price-comparing by clicking on "DVD-Film Region 2". Then, type in the name of the title for which you're looking beside "Søgeord", and then click on "Top 10" underneath "Info" to get a list of the 10 cheapest prices for that title.)</dl>

<dl><dt>Price Comparison for Retailers in Spain :
<dd>In 2002, this site used to have a price comparison feature. Currently, it appears that this feature has been removed. Since I don’t speak/read Spanish, I don’t know with certainty that it is gone – I mean, maybe it is located somewhere else in the site. Anyways, if it has been removed and then later on is reinstated, then perhaps someone will let me know, and then I will update this section.

Worldwide list of mainstream retailers
<dl><dt>Argentina Retailers :
<dt>The sites that appear to accept international orders (Info. as of march05,02 based on what I could determine via language-translation sites) :
<dd>º http://www.dvdventas.com.ar/<dl><dd>if you click on "Ayuda", you are taken to a "Preguntas Frecuentes"(, i.e. FAQ) In it, there is mention of different methods of payment that are accepted. Towards the bottom of the page under the title "Zona Geográfica Días hábiles para la entrega" is a list of what countries to which dvdventas will ship. Therefore, this list seems to indicate shipping to all parts of the world. But I could not find a part of the site that lists specific shipping&handling fees. I also could not determine what is the significance of the click-able list of Latin American countries on the title page (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl>
<dd>º http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/<dl><dd>"Formas de Pago" is forms of payment; "Preguntas Frecuentes" is Frequent Questions". If you click on "Preguntas Frecuentes" and then "Compras", you'll find more information on both handling of credit card information & ordering (more information on this can also be found here: http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/terminos.html ), and wording that leads to the assumption that international orders are accepted : "y 35 pesos a países del resto del mundo" or "35 pesos to countries of the rest of the world". Further information (though still vague regarding international orders) can be found here: http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/s-cart/...s-exterior.html (Note: using http://www.dvdmovies.com.ar/Medio.html seems to cause the site to load incorrectly with a lot of the site missing) (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl>
<dd>º http://www.musimundo.com or http://www.musimundo.com/librosol/inicio.cfm<dl><dd>(The site for me loads VERY slowly. Aside from that, I'm impressed with the layout/arrangement of the site and its contents. There's an FAQ/Help section if you click on the "?"-icon in the upper right corner. There's a table half-way down the page detailing the shipping&handling fees to different parts of the world (It appears that this site delivers worldwide) )</dl></dl>
<dl><dt>The Argentina retailers that do not seem to have any identifiable or clear statement or information regarding international orders :
<dd>º http://www.dvdnext.com.ar/<dl><dd>seems to be incomplete or at least not operating correctly (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl>
<dd>º http://www.lk-tel.com.ar or http://www.lk-tel.com.ar/home.asp<dl><dd>The only information regarding international orders that I could find was under "FAQ"-link. With a rough translation of the text under "Cómo debo de hacer para abrir una cuenta en Lk-Tel si quisiera poner un videoclub?: ", it appears that this site is a club that you must join first. And that each potential order is dealt with on a case-by-case basis depending on the location. (Info. last updated on March05,02)</dl></dl><dl><dt>

<dd>º Out of all the etailers that you see listed, amazon.de is (to the best of my knowledge) the only etailer that has ever been named as an etailer in Germany that is known to ship internationally
<dd>º The concensus is that, unfortunately, it takes an average of (at least) about four to six weeks for an item to reach a destination in the U.S.
<dd>º Furthermore, if the item in which you are interested has a "FSK18"–rating, strict laws forbid most German etailers (including amazon.de) from selling it
<dd>º An alternative is that you can place your order with an etailer in Switzerland. So far one of the dvdtalk-members has ordered successfully from http://www.uoe.ch/. The reported time for delivery was much better (I would have to look up his old posts, but I believe he said it was around one to two weeks)

<dd>For people in SA, kalahari are very good (although not the quickest).
Don’t know of any review sites, but not sure I’d believe the specs of a disc anyway (the covers are rarely correct).
Not one ever says "anamorphic" or "enhanced for widescreen", although the ones I’ve purchased do seem to be (just luck I guess). Most discs are produced locally by nu-metro (cinema company here).</dl><dt>• International Shipping<dl><dt>English Interface :

<dt>FWIW, there're some (limited) ratings/comments for Swiss retailers here :</dl></dl><dl><dt>
UK |
<dd>A few comments for the international customers :
<dd>VAT is an acronym for "Value Added Tax". The price that you will see for an item includes this tax. Some etailers (like amazon.co.uk) will remove this tax from the the cost of your purchase during the check-out process; the downside is that you will have to pay the cost of shipping.
<dd>With regard to those etailers that offer free shipping (or charge a nominal fee for shipping), again, the price that you will see for an item includes this tax. BUT the tax will NOT be removed during the check-out process. For the etailers, this covers their costs to ship the item
<dt>• International Shipping
<dl><dt>17.5% VAT is removed for non-European customers, but shipping is charged
<dd>http://www.amazon.co.uk
<dt>17.5% VAT is NOT removed for non-European customers, but shipping is free (or only a nominal fee for shipping is charged)

Atlantic DVD in South Australia
Atlantic DVD is a new online store (only a month or so old, I think) in South Australia, that has branched out of a B&M store. They do international orders.
I have ordered from them myself and was very happy with price and service.

Hi AutumnNights!
I was only concerned about the Russian section. I appreciate your work (you've done a great job!) and of course, with my "incomplete-incorrect" comments I did not mean that the whole list is incomplete or incorrect.
Just in case, I do speak Russian pretty well so do not hesitate to ask me any questions on Russian DVDs you have. BTW I have several Russian DVDs in my collection and I'm pretty happy with them.

A good place to find links to Australian DVD sales is to go to www.dvdplaza.com.au. Same sort of site as this one but has alot of links to the Australian e-retailers.

dvd-basen
excellent list! ![Smilie](/images/smilies/smile.gif)
you may want to add dvd-basen (http://www.dvd-basen.dk) in there somewhere.. i'm not sure where exactly, but it's a database of DVD reviews for every region with reviews from a lot of sites.

I did not see this one listed. I got it from Goldfishlegs this morning.
http://www.mainlymusic.com - Prices are all listed in Canadian currency.
Canadian Etailer where they sell Sony music cd's and Sony distributed DVD titles. H. They only ship to Canada.
I've placed my first order which is :
Items(s):
SKU QTY NAME PRICE DISCOUNT
005747.dvd 1 Bridge On The River Kwai: Limited E$22.99
Subtotal: $22.99
Shipping: FREE
HST: $3.45
Gift Certificate: ($3.00)
Total: $23.44
I checked ABsound and Futureshop, the same DVD is 45.49$ and 49.99$, so add the shipping and taxes and you save about 30-32$ buying from Mainlymusic.
[edit] Free ground shipping on ALL orders.
I got the DVD... indeed limited edition.
[edit] prices were a sale... now a lot pricier than before.
