So with Wow HD becoming a go to place for anime and other imported titles I thought I'd create a dedicated thread where people can post bargains they've found on the site, talk about experiences they've had with shipping+packaging and generally discuss the site and it's available titles and pre-orders.
Some useful info on the site:
Q: Are they customs friendly?
A: They are indeed customs friendly for most people. They're a US based company with bases in various locations around the world including the U.K. They re-ship from said bases so you'll never be charged for customs. However, that being said, they only have bases in specific countries. Here is a list:
If you live in one of these countries then you're safe, but orders from countries not on the list are not reshipped locally, but are instead shipped directly from the US to the customer, so the risk of customs is high.
Q: How do they package their items?
A: Orders of three-four Blu Rays and below are sent in cardboard mailers, the mailers are usually fine and do their job but if you want to ensure pristine condition then ordering more at once ensures they send it in a box, or so I've read on other forums (I'll test this for myself and present my findings when I make a big order). Larger boxsets are obviously sent in boxes, with paper as protection.
Q: Are their prices reasonable?
A: Factoring in free shipping and no customs their prices are usually worth the investment, and they often have a bargain or two. It's worth checking the site daily or weekly to see if items you're interested in reduce in price or not.
Q: Do they offer discount codes?
A: Recently they added an option to add a discount code during checkout. Any codes available will be added to this thread ASAP!
Happy posting!
