    Cheers Basquille !
    Just ordered it there, am I right in assuming the DVD will erach me before the series finale on RTE ?

    Also I recieved the Simpsons season 6 over a week earlier than expected so it may be here in the next week or so.

    Happy Days !

    No.. you won't be taxed on PlayUSA.com as they operate inside the EU. They just specialise in Region 1 DVD's - hence the USA bit! :D

    actually thats not true, they ship all their dvd's straight from the u.s. even if tthey are actually based in the e.u. there was a big disclaimer about it when they first opened it, that you can and will be charged customs

    im ordering mine from dvdpacific, with airmail it comes to Euro40 exactly, so i'll see how it goes

    News to me! :confused:

    Don't think that's true as they operate under the same policy CD WOW! do with regards to Region 1 DVD's.. they hike up the price on the imported DVD's so you've no real chance of saving money by ordering it outside the EU.

    Does anyone know if dvdempire.com is any good? reliability? delivery on time?

    they have the lost boxset for $42(about €35), but you have to pay delivery aswell, which comes to about €15 for 2 - 5 days, or €8 for 1 - 4 weeks.

    just looking at all the options :)

    I think it's a discount from the referrer in the link... ie the link sends you to some site (www.points.com?) and that redirects you to CDWow which discounts your order because rsites have paid CDWow in exchange for the advertising they get (doesn't really work for htem though when someone links to it externally, like in this thread :))

    I could be completely wrong here though...

    Yep, released today but CDWOW seem to be taking their time shipping mine (see below)!

    Expect it to pop in your door 5 - 7 days after recieving an e-mail from CDWOW! saying it's been shipped!

    Same problem here... very annoying. They should have known what their demand was as all they had were pre-orders.

    Got that as well, they are normally very quick in getting extra stock in, and always add a few days to cover themselves.

    Remember pre-ordering a product, and got an email saying it would take another week due to high interest, got it a few days later.

    How do they lie? Do they say it's a gift on the package and therefore you don't have to pay tax if it's less than €45?

    Is the tax relief limit €22 if it's not a gift?
