Heat

The two Spanish forums are down, as well as the second one under Argentina.

zoossh

for the korean section, just like to add www.sayodvd.com is out of action for sometime and had no news of coming back in the recent future.

vforvendetta

Despite being accessible and taking orders, krdvd.com doesn't seem to ship anything. After placing an order in August and cancelling last month, I still haven't received a refund or a response to multiple e-mails sent to multiple addresses.

David Luc (tristan on eBay) is to be avoided.

zoossh

i suggest there be a big notice somewhere to warn forumers not to buy from krdvd. it had been like a black hole absorbing a lot of orders but not responding to them for more than half a year and many had to resort to a dispute over paypal.

Sifu

Take a look at their feedback on eBay. It speaks volumes. What is even more telling is the feedback they leave for people who are not pleased with their service. HKFlix actually waits to leave feedback until the buyer has left feedback. If they are left neutral or negative feedback, they retaliate by leaving the same feedback and many times will even insult the buyer.

The danish store www.dvdpusheren.dk is closed.
They're bankrupt

I found a website that is in English and the prices seem pretty fair. Shipping looks to be costly. Here is what it says on the website:

International Standard Shipping
Our standard method of shipping is Express Mail Service (EMS) for all shipments to destinations outside of Thailand. For international EMS shipment, the delivery time is around five business days.

The site is: http://www.movieseer.com/dvdIndex.asp?Channel=2

I was able to find the Ransom DTS / 16:9 edition there. Of course, site descriptions are just that. No one really knows what dvd is what until it is in your hands.

mrwilson

Did you order Bill? The Korean DTS version is letterboxed.

digitalfreaknyc

But it's not 16:9.

I found a new site for new zealand that ships internationally.
http://www.gpstore.co.nz/ (R4 DVD's)
reasonably priced, I picked up farscape season 3 from them. took about 12 days to arrive

Atomsk

http://store.fivestarlaser.com/ or http://www.motionandsound.com or http://www.fivestarlaser.com/

This store sells bootlegs. At least when it concerns anime dvd's. There's no way there can be legal DVD's of a recent series like Naruto with both chinese and english (engrish more likely :P) subtitles.

For all the time that I have known him, AutumnNights has been surfing from a library i.e. no regular home access.

The above post should prove a useful reference for his next edit, the last of which was a couple of months ago.

Bill Geiger

Just for whenever the thread is updated, www.dvdheaven.com can be added for a very inexpensive Korean site.

Gunde

For Denmark you might want to add www.axelmusic.com - free shipping, english interface, ships from canada.

Prices are great, but when I went to checkout I got $13.91 for the CHEAPEST shipping option (3 dvds). Sorry,but no go for me.

hectoralejandro

Hello.

We would like to invite the spanish speaking visitors to our new forums

http://foro.contactodvd.com

Located in Mexico. (Region 4).

Thanks!

northshore

Another Korean retailer with international shipping & English Interface.

www.dvdfromkorea.com

I've ordered several times from them.. and had no problem.

Sifu

All kinds of imports - mostly Asian titles, good prices, based in USA.

theDVDetective.com

chente

Their website is extremely user friendly and well laid out. What are their shipping rates like? Do they ship from the US?

theflyingdutch

www.dvdfromkorea.com keeps taking me to worldpay, but netscape and explorer don't show a secure webpage. Anyone else have that problem?

candyrocket786

Just ordered from these guys for the first time. WOW!!!!! Excellent experience. I received my dvds in less than 6 days after shipping.

They are also pretty quick to responding to e-mail inquiries

Sorry, I doubted them before.

candyrocket786

Haven't tried worldpay yet. I paid using Paypal.

hectoralejandro

Great list.

FYI: Both of the Mexico forums have been down for some time.

However, these two are online:
