Free World Shipping!
 
apparently http://dvdimport.com offers free shipping if you choose Canada post.
Has anyone dealt with these guys yet?

I wonder how long that would take to get to Europe (Britain)?

They may offer "free" shipping but their prices are fairly steep.

Take a look at a&b sound for a better deal.

andy-j-h 02-10-02 04:34 PM

Yes AB S and NADvd are my usual bunch, but this looks a good bargain, if you factor in free shipping

but what's Canada post like?

Daren 02-13-02 07:20 AM

This site does have some bargains but they actually charge your card when you order and the discs from Canada to England take around 3 weeks.

DVDBOXOFFICE are more reliable.

A & B Sound may have cheap prices but at $11.00 interntational postage to England for 1 DVD, it works out expensive.

If you order more than 1, postage is still the same but you will get screwed with import duty.

I'm not so happy with DVD Box office. I ordered items from them on Dec 20th and still haven't received them. Two emails; no reply. Sucks.

Daren 02-13-02 10:03 AM

I've only had 1 go missing out of over 20 DVD's. That was very recent. So have had no experience of their customer service.

I like that they come from France and therefore no Customs Duty is due.

All the other DVD's have arrived within 5-6 days of their release date.

actually they charge CAD$6 postage for one DVD, CAD$11 for three, CAD$21 for 7 and so on, and as the exchange rate for the Canadian $ is so excellent at the moment together with their generally very good pieces and shipping of 5-7 days, I nearly always end up there.

DVD BOX OFFICE have let me down two different times in the past year, I will only go there again if I'm really really stuck

Daren 02-14-02 02:50 AM

Incorrect, it depends on the wieght of the DVD, A typical 2 disc, ie Harry Potter weighs 500grammes, therefore the charge for international postage is $11.00 for one DVD. Ghost World however would cost $6.00 because it weighs 130grammes.

Some discs may work out cheaper than DVDBOXOFFICE and I will use this site in my comparisons when finding the cheapest place to buy a DVD.

I however only order one DVD in a package as recently have been screwed by Customs and Excise for anything up to £14 for 2 DVD's.

So for single disc DVD's they may be cheaper but for Mulitple Disc DVD's they most certainly are not.

andy-j-h 02-14-02 02:05 PM

JUST got a reply from DVD import, they say international shipping should take about 7 days.

What do you think?

Daren 02-15-02 01:55 AM

They're talking out of their A**e.

3 weeks is the earliest I've got a DVD in.

They are so slow.

Robbert 02-16-02 11:01 AM

Sorry to correct you Daren: I ordered 2 dvd's from them:
Jeepers Creepers arrived in Amsterdam in 7 days, Hearts in Atlantis in 5 days!
Not bad at all and much faster than DVDBoxoffice which I have used on and off in the last 2 years.
Also their prices are fairly low.

BrianH 02-16-02 03:12 PM

I wouldn't give dvdimport my custom.
They charge your card immediately not when they ship.
They may have cheap prices but their service is very poor.

Daren 02-17-02 03:43 AM

Robert, sorry to correct me. What are you on about

How could you correct me, all my DVD's from DVDIMPORT have taken over 3 weeks or more. So there is nothing to correct, as thats the way it is.


Every disc except for one from DVDBOXOFFICE has arrived in less than a week. Thats 20 DVD's that arrived in less tahn 7 days.

You saying DVDIMPORT are good because you received 2 DVD's in time, not a very good measure of someone's service. Only 2 Disc's.

Robbert 02-22-02 09:41 AM

DVDImport shipped my copy of the Five Heartbeats feb.18, received it today in Amsterdam feb.22!
I will keep ordering from them.
Of course there are other opinions......

andy-j-h 03-10-02 06:59 PM

I decided to bite the but bullet and go ahead and order from DVD Import after all, to check them out.
I ordered HEIST last Monday, 5 days later (and 3 days before its release date) it arrived to my door.

Free world shipping!
Very fast!
Overall great price of this DVD !.

I think I'll be going there again...

MOZZ 03-11-02 06:07 PM
