Cheapest shipping from Australia?
There are 4 or 5 dvd's I want to get from Australia and had my basket all ready to go at ezydvd.com but found out shipping would be over $20 for 5 dvds! This seems pretty steep to me compared to what I pay for shipping coming from China or Europe. Anyone familiar with a dvd retailer in Australia that has reasonable shipping prices or any helpful coupons? or is $20 the best I can hope for? and I should stop being a cheap-ass....

Not to upset you but for the reliability and excellent service Ezy provides...20$ for 5 dvds is an excellent option. I suppose you don't buy too many DVDs from Europe do you?
With this said...you could check atlanticdvd.com.au...but I would still consider Ezy.

You could always try CDwow (search for a $2 OFF link) as they also have R4 discs. You might find what you are looking for.
As far as the cost of shipping from Australia, the costs of some of the discs is worth the shipping.

I just purchased a couple titles from hmv.com.au and shipping was just au$7. ($4.65 US)
Their help section indicates that 1-4 dvds costs au$7 and 5-10 costs au$12 shipped internationally.
I can't speak for their customer service or shipping time, but my order was shipped within 48 hours. I was planning on buying from Ezydvd but their prices were on average a bit higher and the shipping was a bit more than I wanted to spend.

Thanks, bwcgrx. I checked out hmv.com.au and they had the dvd's I was looking for at about the same price as ezy with shipping about $15 dollars cheaper. I just cut my order from 5 dvds to 4. Shipping and customer service remains to be seen however. Thanks for all the suggestions, everybody.

Just to post an update.
I received my dvds from hmv.com.au in great condition packed in a padded shipping envelope.
They Arrived in about 7 working days. Fast shipping I'd say.
