Skip most of the season and only watch the last three episodes.

Saves a lot of time, and the recaps give you anything pertinent that you need to know. Good advice

movietyme will be the best,customs risk free price for this i reckon.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 18 Jun 2006, 02:30

Why are Movietyme customs risk free? It says they post from the USA.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 18 Jun 2006, 08:33

Gasteropod, thanks

Its £29.99 from Play USA also.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 18 Jun 2006, 16:00

yes but playusa will hit you with customs,movietyme won't.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 18 Jun 2006, 16:28

Why is that?

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 18 Jun 2006, 19:12

because playusa don't prepay your customs movietyme do. they reship from uk after the item has been customs cleared. i've used them for years off & on.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 18 Jun 2006, 19:23

Is that right? Wow, I'll have to do that then, cheers.

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 28 Jun 2006, 12:44

It's £38.99 at CD Wow, which is obviously customs safe. But if Movietyme are definitely customs safe then that appears the place to get it from.

Does anyone know if Amazon.com are customs safe? I've e-mailed Movietyme to confirm if they are, as I don't want to take any chances

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 Jun 2006, 13:05

Amazon.com definitely aren't customs safe, they weren't the last time I bought from them

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 28 Jun 2006, 13:21

Ah right, thanks Grim.

Not customs safe:

Play
Amazon

It turns out that Movietyme isn't customs safe either. I finally got a reply from them, after waiting 9 days...

'Hi Mr. Constable,

Thank you for your mail.

Unfortunately we have no control over Customs ourselves. We would not
want to say that you wouldn't incur any additonal charges and this to be
untrue. All items over the £18 value are subject to custom charges.
Custom charges must be bourne by our customers if they become
applicable.'

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 07 Jul 2006, 14:28

been using them for 6 years never had a custom charge from them yet

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 07 Jul 2006, 14:49

But have you been purchasing box sets that have a value over £18? Customs checks are pretty random anyway, so you've just been lucky. I don't want to risk it after what happened to me last time. I reckon I'll be getting it from CD Wow.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 07 Jul 2006, 16:05

entirely up to you gasteropod,i know where i'll be getting it from,anyway here's an answer from craig, movietyme's main man 8)

then add postage and customs and its not cheap

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 19 Aug 2006, 14:50

i've paid £30.99 at movietyme no customs

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 19 Aug 2006, 15:19

I was going for Movietyme but it was 1 pound cheaper at one time

I am not sure I can order it anyway as we are moving house, maybe have to wait

Yeah but its unlikely you will get charged customs because customs charge on the basis of the value of the GOODS, no? Ignore the postage.
I'll compare them but DVD Pacifics annoying shipping cost calculation annoys me, weren't you once saying Amazon were the place to buy Kingdom of Heaven DC R1 from?

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 19 Aug 2006, 16:46

and customs wil make it more than other places

it will be maybe 9 quid for that package.

Yes I got Kingdoam of Heaven from amazon, becuase it was under customs limit LOST isnt even close, its way over 18 quid. Will end up costing over 30 quid for me as customs always get my things.

My copy of season 2 arrived from Movietyme this morning no customs £30.99 8) great service
