Online Foreign DVD Shops

Are there any shops online that sell all regions of DVD's. I dont mean just Region 2 or whatever. I know of Poker Industries and HKflix, but they seem to only sell DVDs that originate from the Asian countries. Im talking a website that sells French, Russian, UK, Japanese, etc DVDs. Any suggestions?

So you're looking for bootlegs?

No, he's looking for foreign DVDs from other regions/countries besides Asia. I believe by 'all regions of DVDs' he doesn't mean all region (r0) DVD's but DVDs from all regions.

Amazon's a good place to start. They have UK, French, Japanese, and German sites. Links to all of them can be found at the bottom of the page on www.amazon.com

And don't forget this thread on DVDTalk:

It's a long list of DVD retailers outside of the US. Many of the sites are in their native language and pricing is in their native currency.

Thanx Renaldow, thats exactly what I meant. I was afraid people might misunderstand that. I know of the thread but it looks a bit in depth and feel like I might get lost looking through it. I merely was wondering if there isnt a site thats in the vein of Hkflix, that's in english, and is american based (i.e. American currency prices), but sells DVD's from other countries besides the Asian type.

Ahh - I get it now... You really ought to look through that thread. It has everything you need and is actually pretty easy to navigate. Perhaps if you were more specific about what DVDs you're looking for we could help with more specific sites.

I guess you are looking for a place in the US that carries R1 and R2 and R3 and R4 ... I am afraid I don't know a shop with such a wide variety (apart from places that carry e.g. Asian movies from all sorts of regions).
BTW, even if some dealers might bill you in non-US currencies, what's the problem? Your CC company will take care of that ... it works just fine.

Im afraid of being charged some kind of currency converter fee. But thanx to everyone for the suggestions. I just recently got a region free DVD player and am beginning to look at the wonderful world of Region Free-dom.

Just check with your credit card company and see if they do that. Most don't, and you usually end up with a fairly good conversion rate.
