For 11 seasons, that is a freakin' steal.

I've spent about $65 collecting the individual seasons at pawn shops, but I'm still missing season 7.

Are there any compatibility problems with US DVD players? ... Amazon.ca shows a list price of $66 CDN$ versus $250 on Amazon (US)

According to Post #23 in this thread, only two episodes in Season 2 were edited in the single season releases ... The "Love & Marriage" theme song has been removed from most (if not all) episodes because of the prohibitive licensing cost.

Several reviews say that season 4 has 7 episodes that are the syndicated versions.

** S04E02 "Dead Men Don't Do Aerobics"
** S04E03 "Buck Saves the Day"
** S04E10 "At the Zoo"
** S04E15 "Rock and Roll Girl"
** S04E16 "You Gotta Know When to Fold 'em, part 1"
** S04E19 "Peggy Turns 300"
** S04E21 "Raingirl"

Does anyone know of a good place to purchase the German season 4 set at a decent price? This seems to be the only version with unedited episodes.

The review on Amazon.ca states that edited episodes are missing 1 minute each ... If that is the case, I can live with that.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/custome...?nodeId=915474

Your packages may be subject to the customs fees and import duties of the country to which you have your order shipped. Any customs or duty charges are always the responsibility of the recipient.

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/help/custome...&nodeId=918748
You might be subject to import duties and taxes, which are levied after a shipment reaches your country. Additional charges for customs clearance must be borne by you; we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be.


This is the only thing I could find in the "fine print" keeping me from pulling the trigger on this. Never ordered from amazon.ca before, but this is an outstanding deal.

Americans do not pay custom fees for products shipped from Canada. Do a google search on "NAFTA".

Guys, just an FYI, Canada Post has locked out its workers, so expect things to take a little longer when shipped seeing as I'd put money on Ethiopia Post being quicker than ours at the best of times, let alone during and post lockout.

This is ridiculously tempting as I only own the first season, but lately I've been having a hard time purchasing anything available on netflix instant stream... This is a dilema.

Is there anything extra in the complete set, or is it the same as owning all of the individual seasons? I think I own S1-S6. I'm tempted to get this anyway, seeing as it's about the price I'd pay for 7-11...

I did. Found the HTS website of which I couldn't make heads or tails out of

http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/bychapter/index.htm

and In addition to the disclaimers on amazon.ca also found this on ebay.ca:

http://reviews.ebay.ca/Canada-amp-US...00000000067340

Import to USA

Mailing Gifts and Purchases from Abroad

Gifts mailed from abroad to people in the United States can be received by them free of duty if the value of the gift does not exceed $100. Gifts for more than one person can be consolidated into one package. To be eligible for this waiver, each recipient's name must be clearly marked on the package. Non-gift purchases mailed to the United States will pass duty-free if their value does not exceed $200. The outer wrapping must be marked with the fair retail value of the contents; a description of the contents (e.g., shirts, belts, watch, figurines, etc.); and whether the package is a gift ($100 exemption) or for personal use ($200 exemption).

So again; I'm not sure how this purchase would be treated if found and scrutinized. The value of the set from amazon.ca is about 50 dollars CAD where as MSRP for the same set in the US appears to be north of 250 USD. Maybe NAFTA covers it; but I'm not 100% convinced.

Amazing deal. I paid the extra 80 cents to get expedited shipping. Probably won't get to me any faster, but assuming this is a price mistake, I was hoping to get mine shipped out ASAP before they cancel the order.
