looking for sources for region 2 dvd's

I just purchased a region free player and would like to purchase some region 2 british sitcom DVD's- But I can't find any that will send to the USA. Can any one refer me to some internet sites that sell region 2 british sitcoms that will ship to the USA?- Thnx

excellent!- thanx Rypro
I now can get Black Books and One foot in the grave.

One more thing- Does anyone know a source that would carry region 2 or region 3 on a Burns and Allen collection?
I know I am probably asking for a needle in a haystack- but figured I would give it a shot

I have had really good service with Amazon.co.uk, and they drop VAT before they ship to the US.

Are you talking about a Ken Burns documentary set? You can find those in region 1. And the alien quadillogy comes out in november.

Thnx for the feedback guys- appreciate it
No I was looking for the classics of classics- George Burns and Gracie Allen-
TV Land keeps airing the same 15 or so episodes- Would love to get more episodes.

I've had the best luck pricewise with ebay. I got The Thin Blue Line and Coupling 2 for $20 each including shipping, and Angel season 1 in region 4 for around $55 (a year ago--it was 80+ dollars at Australian retailers that I could find). It's a bigger risk but I think it's worth it.

I've gotten some things from amazon.uk. Be sure to see what your price is at checkout--I've gotten discounts that didn't show up until the final page and at least they don't charge any tax to foreign orders.
