I haven't ordered online from them but they are a major bricks & mortar retailer here in Australia. They always have large stocks instore and their customer service is pretty decent. Hope that helps.

I haven't ordered online but, as stated previously, they are a major B&M presence here in Australia so should support their on-line store accordingly. They currently have a great b1g1f sale on TV box sets; The Shield AUD$16 per series, The Wire, Mash, Tudors, 30 Rock, Weeds & Dead Zone $AUD20, Sarah Connor, Sopranos , Supernatural & L word $AUD33


They're also good for games and Cds

Cheers

Martin

I've ordered from them in the past. While they don't remove GST/VAT (whatever Australia calls it) their overseas shipping rates seem to be the lowest of all the Australian retailers I've checked out. Ordered something like two dozen discs in various boxed sets (ITC TV series -- Man in a Suitcase, The Saint) and they undercut shipping charges on everyone else.

Re: Anyone order from JB Hi-Fi (Australia)?

I never placed a order from them before.But with their B2G1 free,I think I'll pick up Mad Max(big fan of this movie) and few other that are not dubbed.

Anyone have any suggestions for some good Australian Films?

I'll post my order latter.(including shipping cost to Oregon,USA)

So far
1-Mad Max
2-Candy(Australia:116 min ) 8 extra minutes over the US version.Thumbs up.
3-LANTANA

Wanted almost $20 for shipping 6 DVD's,kind of killed the deal for me.
I'm just a cheap ass movie buyer though.:-))

I ordered from them around Christmas last year. No problems, at all. I found "The Year My Voice Broke" cheaper there than anywhere else, and it also was a signed copy, as per the listing.

It's been a while, but I believe they shipped in a bubble wrap envelope. Shipping time is tougher, but to the best of my knowledge it was about 2 weeks to Canada.
