    Has anyone any experience with Zavvi.com. It's well stocked, with free delivery to Ireland, but what's the catch?

    I could be wrong but dont the DVD's come from Jersey and as a result you can get caught by customs.

    Thanks. I'm gonna give it go. There's a 2 for €15 section there. That's End of Watch and Aguirre, Wrath of God steelbooks for €7.50 each. That's ridiculously good value.

    Bought my items on Friday. Arrived today. Very impressed with their service considering the price.

    Note to all, I've been caught on customs from zavvi on more than one occasion.

    By coincidence, this week I've also had to return American Horror Story S1-3 as they sent me the DVD instead of the Blu Ray. Now you'll really love this part - Zavvi's policy on reimbursing you for returning items is that they'll only cover to a max of 15% of the cost of the item. Guess how much my good friends in an post charged me to post the triple pack (it's a bit heavier than you'd expect but not a tonne or anything)? €9.20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that's regular, not even registered post! I've sent them a REALLY snotty email about this but I won't hold my breath. Defeats the purpose of buying online really.

    In general I've found them ok. Sometimes items can take forever to arrive however so be warned!

    So the 2 Blurays for €15 includes free delivery to Ireland? And if customs were to stop them, how much would they charge?

    Yeah it was €15 including postage. I don't know anything about customs.

    I've bought from that deal countless times over the last few years and never had any customs trouble

    Zavvi is class. Have bought (and still buy) countless stuff from them over the years.

    Never had any issues with customs.

    Nothing, the cut-off point is 22 euro for customs.
