Where to Buy Anime in the UK (was Anime Online Retailers)

How to use Amazon Locker, the free and convenient way to pick up parcels securely outside of your home
Many lockers just work by entering a 6 digit pincode you'll get via email once the parcel is in the locker. Others require you to have the app installed...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ulp
There are also Pickup Locations with free delivery. However it seems that both, Locker & Pickup Locations might only be available for "in stock & ready to ship" items, not pre-orders. Also restrictions on large items, but they are likely over 35 GBP anyway.

Yeah, you get an email when it’s ready to collect with a six digit code. You type that into the screen and it’ll open the hatch where it’s been left. I think you have three days to pick it up once it’s ready before it gets sent back to Amazon.
 
Apologies if this isn't the right place to ask but does anyone know if Danime dot co dot uk are still in business? I found a Blu-ray on their site that I have been looking for but after checking their social media etc it seems that they haven't been active on there for a few months. I also couldn't find any sort of reviews of them online.
 
Probably not the right thread for this but now that VizMedia is re-releasing RWBY I wonder where to get the UK/Europe releases of that show since VIZMedia's releases are A-region only whereas the blu-ray releases by Rooster Teeth were region free. Which UK distributor is most likely to pick up RWBY?
 
Unless I'm missing something, it looks like Amazon US might not be shipping blu-rays to the UK from their US storefront anymore. Some Amazon US items can still be imported by ordering on the UK storefront, but which items are listed there has always been patchy.

I've tried looking up blu-rays from various distributors (Discotek, Crunchyroll, Media Blasters, and then Disney to see if mainstream titles were affected too), and only third-party marketplace sellers are listed as shipping to the UK.
 
I brought this up in another thread, but it really looks like Anime Limited is no longer going to carry new Crunchyroll blu-rays. Their pre-order page is still showing the April titles and nothing beyond. They did get the April titles in a timely manner, as I had preordered some of them and received them promptly, so it's also strange that they're still being listed as pre-orders. As it is now three weeks into June, quite a few things have come out that aren't available there. I asked them about this a good while ago via the website contact form, but never received a reply. :(

They're a bit behind on MVM too, with Riding Bean, released June 2 looking to be the latest thing listed but that's better than April.

Had a look through Amazon and couldnt really spot anything obvious.

The sets that dont have Amazon listed for international such as Frozen / Frozen 2 / Brave. Dont have Amazon available for US shipping either (or at least not Chicago)

While Bocchi, Nanoha, Tangled, Bang Dream are available Domestic/International
 
I assume Zavvi relies on their overseas business.
Increasing freight rates & the new 3 € tariff for EU countries might affect their business.

Others like Rarewaves decided to add the 3 € tariff on each item to keep the shipping fees down - which hurts, as it should be just once per item category one would usually end up overpaying.
 
Wasn't sure of the best place to put this, but it looks like Zavvi has ceased trading and will not be fulfilling any outstanding orders or pre-orders:

Chris Skey and Kerry Bailey of BDO LLP were appointed as Joint Administrators of ZavviGroup Ltd (the “Company”), which trades as Zavvi, on 12 October 2026.

The affairs, business and property of the Company are being managed by the Joint Administrators.

Administration is a formal insolvency process. As a result of the Company’s financial position, the Company has ceased trading with immediate effect.

The Company is unable to fulfil any outstanding orders or pre-orders. Customers should not place any new orders through the Company’s website.

Please also note that we are unable to accept any returns for items of any kind.

We appreciate that customers who have paid for goods that have not been received will be concerned about their orders and payments.

Customers should contact their bank, card issuer or payment provider promptly to establish whether they may be entitled to recover their payment. Depending on the payment method and the circumstances of the transaction, customers may be able to make a claim under section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974, request a chargeback, or use another buyer-protection process.

The Joint Administrators have established a dedicated customer enquiries inbox:

Zavvigroupltd@bdo.co.uk

Customers who email this address will receive an automated response containing a detailed Frequently Asked Questions document and information about submitting a claim in the administration.

Due to the significant number of affected customers, the Joint Administrators will not ordinarily be able to provide individual responses to questions addressed in the Frequently Asked Questions. Customers should therefore read the automated response carefully before sending any further correspondence.

Further updates will be published on this website when available.
