The French X-Files appears to have all 10 seasons which puts it ahead of the US and UK versions (but no movies). I grabbed that and Complete Sopranos for a tad over $100 shipped ($35 seemed a good price for Sopranos). Peter

Amazon.fr has The Wire for around $39 shipped using their exchange rate. Tempted to pull the trigger but haven't had any time to look into any possible differences between the French and US sets.

Did someone mention The Professionals ('70s show from Avengers creative team)? Three of the seasons work out to $22 or so with shipping from Amazon UK - incredible package with novel-sized book of notes on the series, isolated music tracks for Laurie Johnson's scores, and is Region Free. If only The Avengers would get this low (and have such substantial extras)! --Peter

I have Warehouse 13 in my wishlist but I've never ordered it just yet. You like the series?

It also has a rather unique navigation system for stop & pause; it took a couple days to really figure it out.
At least if it doesn't improve, I should be able to sell it at a profit.

Just outta curiosity, has anybody gotten their Hobbit Extended Blu-ray set from Amazon.co.uk? I'm closing in on three weeks now and it's bugging me a bit.

Ironically, I had an order from Amazon Spain a few months ago shipped via Royal Mail.
I hate Asendia. Nearly three weeks for stuff to get to me. Royal Mail typically takes one.

I got it the 8th day after order placement. Today I received an order from Zavvi exactly a week after order placement. Both arrived unexpectedly fast. Can't seem to reason out these mixed shipping experiences

I can never predict stuff that comes from Amazon UK. Some stuff takes a week and a half and I have had other stuff take 6 weeks. It's bizarre.
Stuff I have ordered from Arrow UK or Zavvi is usually pretty quick and is received within 2 weeks.
I had an order from Amazon Japan the other day and it came within a week. I was shocked!

My worst one was a long long time ago....I'm thinking about a decade and a half. Sega Master System, Gain Ground, complete in package from Germany. Took 3 MONTHS! I crap you not. Still have it cause I'll be darned to let that sucker go

re: International Blu-ray deals
I placed a larger order, 5 items, on 11/30. One title shipped via Asendia on the 30th and has yet to arrive. The other 4 were shipped on 12/1 via DHL Global and arrived *yesterday,* the 6th. The DHL shipment has tracking all the way from its origin in Milan, IT (it was a Amazon U.K. order). The Asendia shipment has *no* tracking and I have no idea where it is but it's *supposed* to be delivered on the 14th - we'll see. I've never yet had a package delivered by them meet the delivery date.
Another single item shipped on 11/25 via Asendia has said "Arriving Monday" since Wednesday of last week. It's not here yet and, due to them providing *zero* tracking, I have no idea where it might be.
It's tempting to complain to Amazon U.K. over the lack of tracking information. There's no excuse for this in today's world.

3 wks at this time of year isn't unusual esp since they appear to have abandoned Royal Mail - even my domestic packages are starting to show delays from pretty reliable delivery times. My last 6 UK packages now have all come Asendia sadly. I rarely start getting really worried until 30 days or at least 7 days after their original scheduled delivery time. Most of the time when I've contacted CS before the Delivery+7 they've usually told me to wait

But I think it may have to do with the processing facilities which are involved when it hits the states.

I got a notice from Zavvi they cancelled one of my orders...I guess because I own a packaging/shipping store they're worried I'm a 'freight forwarder'. And to make matters even worse, they apparently deleted my account because it won't let me log in or recognize an account associated with my e-mail

Why not have your residential address as your shipping location? Especially for foreign purchases.

It's bullshit. My Captain America box set from Amazon UK is 2 days late already. 16 days now when they fucking claim 8-12. If it's not here tomorrow, I'll be bitching. All these goddamn Euro orders are all coming Asendia, and I'm going to start bitching. I shouldn't have to pay for their bullshit Global Express shipping, which is DOUBLE the cost of the same option from Amazon Japan, to get something with a tracking number. It's going show up when they say it should, or I'm screaming for a shipping refund on every order.

Yes Got the 3D Hobbit box set Tuesday. Took 20 days - fine by me considering the savings. ( on website it kept saying delivery date Dec 2 - so was a little worried )
Looks awesome - as fat as a dictionary - the fattest movie box set in my collection.
