What website do you use for international purchases? - Blu-ray Forum

I don't usually buy off Amazon because of the high shipping prices to Australia and the total once its been converted from USD to AUD can be quite steep. I generally favour Deep Discount but recently discovered Pacific DVD, which seem to be affiliated with Deep Discount but offer marginally lower prices. Has anyone else had experience with them? I ordered a set of Blu's from them a few weeks ago and they arrived promptly. I'm pretty happy with them thus far!

DVDPacific is the same company as Blowitoutahere, so if DeepDiscount is too, then they got all three lol

Deep Discount =

Australia $4.99 per order + $1.99 per unit;
5 to 12 Days

Amazon =

CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray, Music Cassettes, Vinyl $4.99 per order + $1.99* per unit.

I buy where I get the BEST PRICE / DEAL at the time, as well as whether a title will be released locally or not.

Amazon shipping costs aren't that bad providing you buy enough at a time. They're better than DVDPacific's anyway.

Amazon for me. I usually do large orders so the postage is cheaper.

I also find DaaVeeDee a really good site for titles from all over the world including Australian discs that I can't track down with Australia.

YesAsia for my Asian titles are very reliable and currently do not charge for shipping, though the prices a somewhat higher. Some wonderful Korean titles on Blu Ray, usually Region Free and with English subtitles.
