Right this was added to the normal dvd forum following on from the 3 for 1 deal they have at present:
-------------------

Format Title You Save Price
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DVD Antz $34.98 $0.00
DVD Galaxy Quest $4.00 $22.99
DVD Truman Show $29.99 $0.00

Tax $0.00
Shipping $52.25
TOTAL $75.24
So close, think i will give it a miss
thats FW.com and there excessive international delivery charges for yah!

------
DHL - International $23.00 + $9.75 for each item $52.25

They don’t care. I’ve had a couple of run-ins with these losers from as far back as November. For some reason at that time their site was letting you check out at $4.25 for shipping to the UK. Bet you can guess what’s coming next! Yep, still haven’t seen the DVD despite numerous promises, assurances and e-mail and snail mail (from me to them I should hasten to add - they have only once sent me unsolicited mail). I have a bunch of correspondence with them that I’ll sort through and post here later, in particular my last mail to them which is a doozy, I was soooo pissed at them.

FWIW IMO, these people make CDUniverse look like the e-tailer of the year. NEVER, EVER give them your business.

jonathan.e, you may be right about international orders, but I live in the States and have taken advantage of the 3 for 1 and the 1 free. Not bad.

otv, if you're interested in having them shipped to me, I'll forward them to you - for a small fee

LMK Drop me an email if interested.

Heh, I tried the same trick with the cheap shipping and the $15 first time customer. Naturually my order never saw the light of day despite hassling them with a few emails. I also tried the $30 + free shipping user specific coupon that got posted a while back but I didn't really expect it to work. I gather they only sent them out to users who got screwed over during pre-Xmas, but in which case then where was mine FW??
