Where did you order it from? I ordered from JB Hi-Fi before and it took forever.

Umbrella. First time I had used them instead of JB Hi-Fi and I was rather impressed that they got it to me much more quickly. I paid $16 shipped.

Got to let us know if it holds up. After watching ladyhawk last year I stopped messing with some of my childhood holdouts in the genre.

It holds up as '80s fantasy cheese.

Cool! I paid $18 to ship 2 BDs to Taiwan.

I'll try Umbrella. I want The Punisher set.

Indeed, JB Hifi is painfully slow. In general though, I've had the worst experiences ordering internationally over the last couple of months. In addition to several items that took a solid month to get here, I've had 2 items never arrive at all:

Ordered the Hammer box-set (17 discs) from JB Hifi New Zealand on 12/31 -- allegedly shipped 1/1 -- never got it.

Ordered "Judgment Night" from Grooves (Germany), shipped 12/10, never got it. Had other orders from Grooves get here in the interim, but that one never materialized and apparently they are going to refund me...but made me wait until today to report it.

JB Hifi's packages always take forever to get to the US, and their customer service isn't very good. I emailed about the Hammer set 5 days ago, no reply. Guess I'll have to file a Paypal claim to get them to respond. With Umbrella and Madman offering their own sales at times and more reliable shipping (plus Deepdiscount selling Madman and other Australian imports at reasonable prices), I'm pretty sure I've placed my last order from JBHifi.

No, that's the DVD. For some reason it says this product is not available for the BD. Maybe they are just out of stock.

I heard that. It took me a month to get Quiz Show.

If only Schock Entertainment, who also have their own webstore, shipped to the US. As a result, I'll probably be purchasing Day of the Jackal, which is getting released on 3 March, from JBHifi. Have any US folks purchased from Sanity or Ezydvd?

The customer service was terrible. Filling out the form online and being asked for the store's Postal Code took some googling. Just put in a random store. Eventually heard back one order.

Amazon.com, third party sellers, has some Aussie BDs. Ordered The Punisher, Enemy Mine, and Alien Nation.
