From my experiences.

1. Not sure from where, mine are always post marked Sweden on them (perhaps they are routed from Hong Kong through there).
2. Yes
3. No longer than 7-10 business days.

2. Do not be surprised if you find the cover to be partly in a local language

It will probably also be a 'shrunk' DVD.

You should be fine with Region 3 Hollywood titles. I do not see Superman Returns on CD-WOW as a Region 3. Click is there and it is a good price.

That its not a DVD but a Video CD.

I have never bought a Region 3 DVD from CD-WOW that was not a DVD so I very much doubt it will be a 'shrunk' one (certainly not from CD-WOW)

I t says the dvds encoding is NTSC.I dont think my tv is compatible with NTSC.So you think the cover may be chinnesse?Also is it definitly posted from europe?Thanks for all the help

I got dawn of the dead region 3 recently and it was posted from Hong Kong, it was a dvd and not a vcd. It was in ntsc format too. It will get through cutoms no prblem unless its dear

All R3 DVDs are NTSC. Every R3 I have got from CDWOW has been NTSC (I think all video in HK is NTSC).

Click and Superman are Sony and Warner DVDs and again in my experience these are always full English packaging and the menus begin with a language option to choose the main menu language. The only disks I have seen with Chinese or Chinese/English packaging are from Chinese companies (eg. Deltamac release alot of 20th Century Fox stuff there and their covers contain a tiny bit of Chinese, but otherwise identical to anything you'd buy here).

I have never received a VCD from CDWOW and I doubt very much that they sell them on their site.

If you TV can't handle NTSC (I would be surprised if it doesn't, unless its very old), check you DVD setup options. There may be a switch on the back to change output to "PAL60", which will allow your TV to display the NTSC signal. Otherwise, check through the setup menus and look for something similar.

do a search for the DVD name on www.dvdcompare.net

that lists specifications for the different region releases of nearly all films.
