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
------

sod it.

right ive just mailed them about their shipping charges seeming as they use the same shipper as reel. DHL International.

lets now wait for their response.

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??
