Anyone purchased Shaw Brothers Celestial DVDs from here? Only $9.62 per dvd and less than $1.50 - 2.00 shipping depending on quantity. Are they reliable and what about delivery times?

I assume you mean $2 shipping per disc, not as a total. And you have to order quite a few DVD's to get the shipping to that cost.

1 DVD shipped regular Air Mail to the US is $14.95. Add the $9.62 for the DVD and you are paying over $25 for one DVD. That sucks.

Yea, but most people do not just order one dvd when ordering from overseas.

How do you get that. It's 65 Hong Kong dollars for .5kg. One dvd weighs .125kg so you can purchase 4 dvds and have them shipped for that price, which is $2.08 per dvd. The cost goes down as you buy more.

Sifu

Ummm. By going through their checkout process which tells me how much they charge.

Thanks, yea, I tried the same thing. Their shipping is a lot higher than what's outlined in their shipping chart, unless you go surface mail. If you buy large quantities though, you can get it for under $2.50 per dvd which at their dvd prices puts them at about $12.15 per dvd. I just did a comparison with DDDHouse on a very large order and they were $20 cheaper than DDDHouse.

Sifu

Well, definately a good alternative if you can afford to buy in larger quantities. $20 is $20 after all!

Does anyone know what region these dvd's are in? It doesn't say on the Web Site, but one can always hope.

Sifu

They are Region 3.
