Where to buy French Blu-Rays

Rakuten is a Japanese company who run online marketplaces. So think eBay or Amazon Marketplace. You are therefore at the whims of the various traders on there.

In the UK they bought Play.com at the time the second largest online entertainment trader behind Amazon who sold items on their own account. However made a mess by converting to their marketplace model. Obviously sales crashed and they closed it within a few years. Now their website in the UK only exists as a cashback site for online shopping.

As I recommended earlier have been impressed with FNAC in my few purchases from them. Has only been a few of their limited editions as they get retailer exclusives similar to the big US stores. Postage though is much more than Amazon.fr which is why I tend to stick to them.

Sure, but a lot of the vendors are reputable businesses and not regular people. I tend to stick to those. They won't cause any fuss at all if you dispute, which I've had to do a few times (not that many times though compared to the amount of orders) and I've always gotten my money back. I buy most non-boutique Blu-rays there to avoid the age warning on the cover, which the French don't put. Most of my films are French as well so I like the titles being in French too But yes, I agree, Fnac is amazing. For international orders in Europe they have next day shipping for 5 €. Bargain.
