Cheap place to get HKL?

Like you might guess, I'm wondering if there's a cheap place to get HKL titles besides the HKL/Medusa website. I live in Korea and apparently HKL has a lot of lost packages here, and they don't offer tracking. I have two packages that are supposed to come in this week or next week but I doubt I'll get them 'cause I didn't get the last one I ordered.

I don't want to buy from HKflix 'cause their markup is too much. Amazon.co.uk is okay but I'd like cheaper.

Thanks.

I bought directly from HKL site and they did arrive - in almost two months (sigh). What do you expect from regular postal service? Unfortunately they don't offer trackable shipping method...

Ok... I looked. I couldn't see HKL (or Medusa) in the list of distributors, and several HKL titles I tried did not show up. Then I noticed (unless I'm missing something) that there are less than 300 DVD titles on the site. It really look like a site set up by someone working out of their basement,

I am fm Hong Kong and selling DVDs, IA3's audio is out of sync, and I did not notice by Megastar that there will be a replacement disc.



Between those two posts it is pretty obvious whose site this is....and add to that fact that there are NO MEDUSA or HKL titles there.

The official British Hong Kong Legends site is here. If you live in the United Kingdom there is no shipping charge (mine came through two or three days after ordering) but customers from abroad have to pay extra charges.

They have an offer going at the moment: 3 DVDs for £22.00. This can be accessed here.

I know that, I ordered from there over a month and a half ago and still haven't gotten the order. I don't live in England.
I want to know of other places to buy HKL titles.

I hate ordering from the offcial site. I'm still waiting on an order I placed at the beginning of Feb. I'd much rather order from Bensons or Amazon UK, atleast that way I know I'll get my stuff.

I agree - my last order was placed in mid November, and I finally received it mid January - the explanation being that there were problems with Royal Mail. Funny, while I was emailing back and forth with HKL about this, orders placed with Blackstar, HMV and Amazon came through in a timely manner.

Well, the problem with ordering from HMV or something is that sometimes the price is more than doubled than that of the HKL site. I could buy 3 for 22 pounds with HKL but with anybody else it would be about 60 pounds. If you can find Red Wolf for under 20 pounds, I'm there.

What's Bensons' address?

Thanks. They have decent prices, I'll buy my HKL there from now on. How's their shipping, by the way? Is it reliable?
