I'm not sure if that jumps up further if certain weight limits are breached - you can play around adding/removing titles from your cart and re-calculate your shipping on their site though. They ship priority mail (meaning you generally get your package in just under a week) and they mark down the contents below the customs threshold. For larger packages I think they even mark it something like 'used/damaged media' to alleviate any further suspicion/mail theft.

Ok cool so would this method be better than Shipito who I've heard are supposed to be pretty good?

Diabolik certainly works out cheaper when you order a few. Do you have to tell diabolik to put under the customs threshold? Or do they do this for you?

I've never used shipito myself, but they're generally used for places which won't ship out of the US - The Code Red Bigcartel site for instance - and are basically a forwarding service where you're essentially paying for the postage twice (domestic US postage from point of origin to shipito, then international postage from shipito to your home address having filled out the relevant customs forms and chosen the desired postage method). I think it generally works out slightly more expensive using a forwarding agent, but cheaper than possibly incurring customs/handling fees and of course it's pretty much your only option if you're wanting to buy from places which won't ship internationally.

Plenty more on there I want, they have cut throats nine for example, but the DVD from code red has Fred Williamsons Joshua as a double bill so backed off for now as I could not afford everything I wanted from Diabolik so had to prioritize. Kind of regretting it as a friend of mine commented on Code reds site that it was a shame he didn't ship to the UK direct only for Bill to PM him calling him a dick!

Diabolik have pre-orders up for Family Honour and Headhunter if they float yer boat!

[bizarre_eye@Cult Labs]

New title that was up on the Big Cartel but has since been removed...



Apparently it's the original 1972 R-rated cut.

Pumped that Family Honor will finally be released! Looking forward to it.

Ok, I used Shipito for the first time to grab Nightfall and Acapculco Gold before I realized Diabolik were getting them also but was surprised at the postage costs which makes Diabolik look positively cheap in comparison!

I had about 10 options but 3 that applied really. the cheapest was $5.50 - no insurance and up to 40 days to deliver.
Next up was $25 - no insurance again, delivery in about 7-10 days
Then $43 - insured and delivery in 5-7 days.
It went up from there!

I went for the $25 option and they arrived in about a week. So $40 plus $7 USA shipping plus $25 Shipito shipping and a $2 handling fee equals $74 for two discs. Diabolik is $40 plus $15 shipping and they are insured.

I used the cheapest option.Had no problems so far and delivered in around two weeks.

So i used Shipito for the first time to buy some bits from the Code Red website. I picked up Girly ($24) and The Beach Girls ($33) and had to pay $2 to shipito and opted for the Airmail which was the cheapest. I waited for just under two weeks when yesterday i had the dreaded note from Royal Fail saying i had to pay £14.95. These two discs have proved very expensive and to make matters worse i recieved two copies of Girly. I filled in my own customs form and noticed Tax I.D, does anyone know if i have to fill this in? I marked as gift and also labelled at $15 too which should have saved me a customs payment. This is the first time i've done this so any help would be appreciated
