Too bad as I already own both seasons on Region 1 DVD (S1 is the limited edition).

I always presumed ordering from the US site would run the risk of customs, otherwise why would anyone buy from the UK store at higher prices?w00d09 said:Haven't ordered from them yet, but I ask them recently by email about this and got the following answer -Just Passing Through said:Has anyone tried ordering from UP1USA?
You know the UP1's US mirror that you get directed to when you click the (is this item cheaper on our US website?) link. Do you get charged customs, is the item posted from the US or the UK? Stuff like that...
"Goods are shipped and handled by "United Publications" from USA to UK and then from UK warehouse to you. We cover all customs and shipping charges in price quoted on web site."
Tind said:There are no customs/tax charges for items under $60 arriving from outside the EU in Hungary. But the limit maybe $100, I'm not sure about the exact number. Ordered under $60 several times from Amazon, but my first RightStuf order will be $94 (Shana II pack), so will find out if that gets any custom charges.
Then I rephrase my question: Does anyone know another reliable US shop (besides Amazon and RightStuf) who has good prices and ships internationally?
http://www.movietyme.com has been good at times in the past, but I am not sure of the consistency of their anime selection these days, nor how they compare in price. They are, at the very least, reliable.Tind said:Then I rephrase my question: Does anyone know another reliable US shop (besides Amazon and RightStuf) who has good prices and ships internationally?

I hope they pay royalties to MVM for the idea.
They've instituted a loyalty scheme, spend a pound, save a penny. What you save can be spent on future purchases.
Accumulating points gives you more to spend obviously, and you can use them in part payment as well complete (should you accumulate enough)
You have to spend at least once every 180 days at Play to keep your tally of points active, otherwise they'll be deleted.

You earn rewardz points every time you spend with zavvi. For every £1 you spend with zavvi, you earn 1 zavvi reward point. Each point is worth a penny, so if you spend £100 on your order, you would earn 100 Rewardz points which converts to £1 off a future purchase. The points really do add up - we know because we see how much customers save when they spend them! Watch out for special zavvi Rewardz points promotions from time to time for the chance to earn extra Rewardz points.
I guess all the supermarkets owe a lot of money to MVM too then?Just Passing Through said:Play institute a loyalty points scheme.

I'm fairly sure that's the case. Your CC company will likely screw you hard on foreign currency transactions. Most will charge a 'foreign transaction fee' (up to about 3%) on-top of a crap exchange rate and some of them also start charging interest instantly on such transactions. So it'll rarely workout any cheaper.FourthLion said:As far as I'm aware:
Pros: It's ususally *technically* cheaper
Cons: Your bank/credit card company might charge you a fee/%age/crappy exchange rate so it doesn't end up any cheaper after all...
Other than that I believe the stock comes from the same place in the same timely fashion.
