    This is the website of a Dutch brick and mortar shop.
    Last week i found out that they also deliver outside Holland and accept credit cards for payment.
    So i decided to try them and got myself 14 dvd's for €56 including P&P (was about 6 for the lot) ordered on Sunday, got confirmation the package was sent last Tuesday and found them on my doorstep yesterday afternoon.

    The url is: www.freerecordshop.com (english) or for the more adventurous amongst you www.freerecordshop.nl
    Why try the dutch version? Because there is this special promotion 5 dvd's for € 10 that seems to be missing on the .com version of the website.

    Good tip, thanks.

    (Just to add my 2c, freerecordshop are a large Dutch chain, it is a legit site)

    [edit]
    Actually, I think you can get the 5 for 10 through the .com website as follows:
    - In the top menu, click on Movies > Movies Homepage
    - In the menu section on the right, click More... then 2810110000071

    I added 5 movies @ 2.99 each and it comes to 14.95, then 4.95 is discounted.
    there's 1.95 P+P though, so total is 11.95 delivered. Still a great deal, some good films in there.

    You should definitely add this to the sticky at the top for DVD/Music sources.

    I guess i could have given a bit more infor on the shop indeed.
    Compare them to what HMV is here, just cheaper....

    Actually, it's not such a good deal :(

    When I got through to where I pay, the delivery charge jumped to €15

    On the plus side, that does seem to remain constant no matter how many you order, so you could get 10 DVDs for 35, or 15 for 45.
    But 5 for 25 isn't as good.

    Did you order via the .NL or the .COM?
    I ordered, last week, via .NL and paid €5,99 (for 14 dvd's) for delivery to Ireland.
    Would check it out if there is a difference between the 2 but here at work the .NL is blocked.
    Will try later from home.

    Ordered from .com - maybe that's the difference so.

    prob a stupid question but if i order off the .nl website will the movies/tv series be in dutch or english?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 28,128 ✭✭✭✭Mossy Monk


    English with the option of Dutch language or Dutch subtitles. Even a lot of Dutch tv is English language with Dutch subtitles.

    I really can not assure you for 100% but i never bought a dvd there where the original sound was replaced by Dutch. We dont do sound dubbing in Holland, we subtitle foreign language movies.
    With the exception maybe for stuff for kids who are at an age that they can not read yet.
    I think i have 1 dvd out of the about 40 i bough there over the years where i can not switch off the Dutch subs.

    The cover of the boxes might be in Dutch in some cases though.
