Best place to order Warner Archive titles? - Blu-ray Forum

Where is the best place to order this in Europe? 🤔
In the past I have orderd from WB in the US directly, but suffered customs. Amazon UK also used to get the titles, but that doesn't seem to be the case any longer.

WowHD.

Not a frequent WowHD user but have seen many from my wish list at better price than Amz many times. WB's EU releases provides an alternative but not every WAC title is getting released in EU and also artwork will not be in Eng .On Amz, they are $17.99 all through the year.

Kristoffer, like the other members have said. Go with WOWHD. Great prices, free international shipping and best of all (so far) no customs charges incurred. I used them all the time back in the UK and I've used them a few times since I moved to Germany and everything has turned up perfect. Can take up to 2 weeks to turn up but in my opinion worth it for the savings.

Thanks everyone! I just ordered “Gun Crazy “ of them. They don’t seem to have “Dark Of The Sun” yet though.

That one has not long since been announced, and isn’t released until the end of May. The pre-order will turn up on WowHD soon, I’m sure.

Yup, I always use Wow these days. I used to buy from Amazon UK Marketplace, but that was usually from All Your Music, which it seems is the same company as Wow. I suppose you could order from Amazon US, but with their very high p&p for international orders it's always going to be very expensive.

You could always wait 5 years for it to appear in the 'Premium' collection

Indeed. But it might be a good idea to punt form with them a bit, since prices vary quite substantially on a distinctly cyclic basis not related to exchange-rate fluctuations. Up until about three weeks ago, virtually all WA titles on Wow were £10: they're now c.£13.50 (except, oddly enough, the musicals - of which Archive has a ton - which have stuck at £10.90 or so). If you're happy to pay the higher price, fine: but wait a month or so, and they'll be back on offer, with more titles included, I suspect, such as the Newman Harper films for which I'm waiting for the price to drop (tightwad).

Absolutely. Wow’s pricing policy can be frustrating, and, if you’re prepared to wait a couple of months, you can certainly save a few quid. The Warner Archive stuff doesn’t vary as much as the Criterions, though, so the cyclical pricing doesn’t stick in my craw in the same way.

I'd also add ImportCds to this conversation.

Gun Crazy is $15 with them, which works out as £11

Shipping begins at $6.98 to the UK, and goes up very marginally with each extra disc.

So yeah, it is a little bit more expensive, but I've never been stung for customs, and parcels take between 7 to 10 days to arrive once shipped.

They also tend to ship pre-orders on the Thurs / Fri before release day, so you can often wind up receiving a new release only three or four days after its official American release day.

Same company as WowHD with normally similar prices but sometimes one will be cheaper than the other so best to look at both and order from the cheapest.

Same with Deep Discount, worth checking when they have voucher codes as can sometimes end up cheaper (same company as allyourmusic/Wow/Importcds).

I had never heard of WowHD until now. Tried to order something; there was free shipping to Brazil. Couldn't believe my eyes. Is there a catch? There must be a catch!

No catch.

The only catch is you’ll keep coming back for more and then find yourself promoting them for free
