|
|
You know that credit's crunching when PlayUSA are the cheapest for importing region 1 anime. But they are offering Ah My Goddess Season 2, and Welcome to the NHK for the same price as DVD Pacific, but with free P&P.
So I'd save about four quid on a package.
But... I haven't been stung by customs yet on DVD Pacific, so I might go with that if PlayUSA have a more than 50% hitrate by Her Majesty's government.
Anyone have any experience with them? _________________ "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."

| Not used Play USA before, but doesn't the minimum customs charge on imported DVDs go up to over £100 quid pretty soon? |

Customs yes, not VAT though, that stays at £17.99 and will be payable on everything that gets caught by Mount Pleasant. _________________ "I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes."
