I'm not getting burned again like that. Even if it doesn't happen very often.

Fair enough. I didn't know they could combine postage on marketplace items to post one package. I've always had pay postage on each item that got posted seperately.

As for getting collared by customs as has been said it is hit and miss. When dvds first took off and a decent exchange rate I got loads direct from usa/canada and never got stopped for years. Then all of a sudden every package went through customs even though they were value below the treshold adding upto a 2 week delay in me getting my stuff.

Thanks for the update. Guess I got lucky on the last couple I ordered direct. Although most of my stuff goes through amazon and so far nothing has been charged (knock on wood)

Has anyone got any experience with moviemail.com?

Not personally but I seem to remember reading elsewhere that if your items are lost in the post on more than one occasion they refuse to honour any other sales you may make! I've only ever had one item go missing and that was from Zaavi.

Damn! Out of stock and now gone up to £9.24

That sounds a bit crap. They've got The Burbs steelbook at £13.99 currently, tempted to give them a try.

A great purchase for those who haven't picked it up.

Titles include:

A whole bunch of Arrow titles (Foxy Brown (Steelbook), The Long Goodbye, Ashes & Diamonds, The Tin Drum, Baron Blood, Knightriders etc.)
Halloween 35th Anniversary
A great selection of Steelbooks (Vanishing Point, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid etc.)

And many more.

Also the Alain Robbe-Grillet Box is available for less than 33 and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 digi for less than 10 £.

(So proud that I finally know the keyboard combination for £.)

Does anyone think the Arrow titles or the Alain Robbe-Grillet set will be cheaper on Black Friday/Cyber Monday? Did anyone even do sales on Arrow, Masters Of Cinema or BFI titles last year?
