As I feel that this thread should probably include stores anywhere on the planet that ship overseas (and not just those that deal in Region 1 titles or offer coupons etc), then how about we add the following for starters (regardless of reputation):

<u>For R2 and R3:</u>
Sazuma
CD Japan

<u>For R4:</u>
Chaos Music

Maybe you should include shipping rates, methods of packaging, classification of items for customs check etc.

There was a time where my dvd was retained by customs because the dvdexpress logo was pasted on the package itself, thus exposing the contents. Anyone know which sites provide the best way to avoid the customs.
Thanks

simonbrew 05-01-00 07:25 AM

Moving this up - has anyone got more to add?

Paul.B 05-01-00 08:16 AM

DVD Empire is another to add.
shipping rates to u.k $5 +$2.25 per item, if i remember right.

TheyCallHimJim 05-01-00 09:26 AM

Maybe you could add some sort of comment on how reliable all these places are, and how much (broadly speaking) delivery charges are? Just because a store ships overseas doesn't mean they're any f***ing good at it...

And maybe someone could post how to get your postage costs reimbursed, and then also how to cash your refund cheques (or checks).

Shipping charges can be reimbursed by using a company like Brands For Less (www.brandsforless.com).

As to the cashing point I did a little bit of following up on something that has been mentioned on DVDTalk before, namely cashing of BrandsForLess and ****** refund cheques in the UK :

Halifax £4 per cheque;
Abbey National £7.50 per cheque;
Royal Bank of Scotland £14 per cheque;
Barclays Bank FREE if amount is less than £50, £4 if amount is £50-£100, or £9 if amount is £100-£2,000, with a 0.25% charge if the amount is above £2,000 (now that is a lot of DVD postage).
BUT you have to have a Barclays account to pay it into.
HOWEVER, you can open an "Instant Saver" for just £1.00 (but get no interest unless you've got >£100 in it), which you can pay the cheques into.

So, thanks to all the people on DVDTalk who recommended this - I opened one today, with £10, and then promptly paid around $140 of BFL cheques into it. The lady on the FOREX counter was v.helpful, so she split the amounts payable into 2, so I didn't even have to pay the £4!

I *know* that this has type of info has been posted before, although I haven't seen it for a little while. Anyway, I thought it would help the "recently DVDd".

Update: DVD Jam now ship overseas, but they only use FedEx, which is something like $25 and then $2.50 per item.

Yikes.

Kumar J 07-12-00 01:34 AM

There is one more store in Canada www.dvdthunder.com that ships overseas.The shipping are quite resonable. www.moviesource.com also ship's to overseas and thier rates are cheaper
Now for shipping prices
CD Universe for Asia 6.80 each item 2.95
moviesource is 4.99 per shipment $1.99 / Item

Firstly, this is a great thread, and I'm sure all us International DVD freaks ( http://talk.dvdtalk.com/ubb/wink.gif ) appreciate it, but how about adding the basic shipping rate for those above?

Just a suggestion, although admittedly it will be a lot more work.

Great post. I do agree on the basic shipping rates. Something like (Europe):

Store Per shipment Per item
Amazon $6.00 $1.95
Express $6.00 $1.95
CDUniverse $5.99 $1.50
DVDBox office $0 $0

Issue:
How about international friends outside Europe (Canada, Australia, Asia)?

(simonbrew: you can use the above numbers!)

Mark Bennett 07-12-00 03:57 PM

How about adding www.ezydvd.com.au to the list of R4 retailers?
Fantastic service.
4 days to the UK, shipping 16 hours a day, rapid email responses to queries, even a little bit of bubble-wrap in the case to stop the DVD coming loose.

Highly recommended.

FastShow 07-12-00 04:40 PM

www.entertainme.com are also shipping internationally too.

GSyren 07-12-00 10:28 PM

R1: Digital Eyes ships overseas. http://www.digitaleyes.net

Overseas shipping $3 per shipment + $2 per DVD
