you make me nervous.....I placed an order with Benson's a few days ago.....so far nothing........

don't worry pb...it usually takes a week or so to get to the states..

the things they messed up on were:

• I ordered multiple copies of one DVD [3, to be exact]. They shipped ONE.
  
• I ordered the Street Fighter II anime flick since their website listing said it had the Japanese language track..It didn't.

'sides that, they've been pretty good. i'm still waiting on a reply from an email I sent them on Tuesday..

Koreandvds.com is a pretty good R2/R3 store and as a registered user you get up to 10% of your order credited toward your next purchase on top of thier discounted prices. Unless you buy in bulk(3+) the shipping charge can be a problem though.

I may be wrong but as far as i'm aware they stock only titles from R3 which may happen to be encoded for all regions....i don't think they sell purely R2 titles but as i said i could be wrong.

I find you can't go much wrong with Amazon.co.uk or CD Wow.

CD Wow have fantastic customer service and often cheap prices compared to others as well as offering titles from R3 & R4..my only criticism is that quite often they don't stock the title you may be looking for as i find their catalogue to be slightly limited which is why i would use Amazon most of the time.

In fact i would actually use Play.com before Amazon for my R2 but unfortunately they don't ship R2 titles outside of the UK so not going to be of much help for the majority of you.

Blackstar and amazon.uk

I have never had a problem with Benson's...always been reliable and accountable....I've been using them for about 3 years...and have probably had a 100 orders over the pond...

The question (or a variant thereof) has been asked before. I've merged yours with one of the earlier instances.

The UK isn't the only R2 country, guys. There are numerous DVDs from France, Germany, Italy, etc that are superior (and usually less expensive) than their UK counterparts.

Personally, I always look to the UK as a last resort because of the horrible exchange rate against the quid.

Where do you personally look first? We still have no answer here... do you have a link to offer or just wanted to mention the poor exchange rate?

maybe u like to check out HMV UK. also deduct VAT for oversea customers.

I agree with you!...there are a vast number superior to the UK versions available in France & Germany etc. however,i would advise some research into the relevant desired titles before purchasing from other european suppliers as lack of subtitles and indeed forced subtitles quite often prevent them from being viable options.

Like THIS one..

I almost always order from XploitedCinema.com - but they are limited, if you are not into horror / explotation films.

Amazon UK has always done right by me with shipping time and prices.

I like CDWOW..decent prices and free shipping to the USnot only is it free its fast shipping as well

If you're not averse to receiving email newsletters, this French retailer sometimes has good sale prices on DVDs (and CDs for that matter):
