    Destination country: Ireland
    Quantity of discs: 1
    Subtotal: 3 USD

    Shiping weight: 0.046 kg
    Shipping cost: 20.32 USD

    Total: 23.32 USD
    Total in currency: 19.61 EUR

    The trick is to order in bulk.
    You can get 10 dvds for the $20.32.

    Destination country: Ireland
    Quantity of discs: 10
    Subtotal: 30 USD

    Shiping weight: 0.460 kg
    Shipping cost: 20.32 USD

    Total: 50.32 USD
    Total in currency: 42.53 EUR


    Never used them though. Considering they come from China I'd reckon they're all bootlegs for that price.

    I know someone who ordered a load of them (well, 15).
    They play fine and are only missing the extra features.

    Guy at work just ordered from them. Firstly, you don't get the actual box with the DVD - instead it's in a plastic envelope with the DVD cover. Secondly, one of the DVDs that he got was Van Helsing. Legitimate company? I think not...

    My sister bought some similar DVDs for me on her travels (no box or extras, just a plastic envelope and cd) it was hilarious, they had subtitled the films in english, but whoever did it wasnt entirely sure what the characters were saying. Example, Gandalf riding out from Minas Tirth, and someone proclaims "The white rider" becomes "The white tiger" !:D :D:D
