Default Taiwan (Region A) BD Shop?

apart from yesasia, i'm having trouble finding a stockist of taiwan BD's that has an english-language store. there's JSDVD, but there selection is surprisingly limited - and they're not answering emails - so wondering if anyone knows of a retailer that has an english-language site version or has the function to ship to countries outside taiwan?

i usually find that buying a disc from country of origin has a better chance of proving to be a realistic price.

specifically looking for 'shonen merikensack' on BD - with english subtitles - as they're discs seem to be about £10 / $15 each, and their choices are asia-centric, in that they issue some films from other asian countries that aren't released elsewhere with subs, and there prices are clearly decent too.

JS DVD : http://dvd.jsdvd.com/index.php?language=us
(few BD choices relative to other sites)

shonen merikensack (TW BD) but doesn't ship worldwide, it seems:

I had no problem buying from JSDVD, although most of their stuff are HK import which you can get cheaper somewhere else

JD is the only one I know, but their selection is pretty much what is available in Taiwan. Not much. I heard there were some problems in the beginning with licenses for manufacturing or something. Taiwan is off to a late start.

Anyway, I'm in Taiwan. And I get most of my discs from Amazon.com. A surprising amount have Complex Mandarin subtitles, which my wife wants.

The biggest manufacturer of Blus in Taiwan is DeltaMac, check out their website www.deltamac.com.tw less than 450 discs.

Some of the others I haven't tried, except whoever makes Defiance (no special features) And I rented Taken which is put out by Yam/VieView. The quality seemed genuine but no pip special feature just the documentary.

Some of the ones that are out like The Others and they are only 350NTD I haven't tried.

TW BDs from Americas amazon.com?

JSDVD frustrating me: apparently the concern and interest in international business, but patchy coverage of titles issued in TW with English subtitles. some Japanese films there not issued in any other country... that's a missed opportunity, clearly.

appreciate info so far, but still need a solution to sourcing wide choice of TW discs from an English-speaking international customer perspective. anyone else?
