Overseas Steelbook purchases and customs charges question?

[crashkelly]

Hi all,

I am just looking for a bit of advice/information from a few of the seasoned steelbook collectors on the site.

I live in Canada and I am looking at ordering a couple of titles from places like amazon.de, amazon.fr, hmv.com, play.com, ..... but I have no idea how badly I will get stung, if at all, by customs and the like for ordering from places like that.

I ordered a couple of Wanted Blu-Ray Steelbooks from hmv.com yesterday as they were on for a decent price and I am hopeful the extra charges will not be too bad.

Ordering from amazon.de worries me a little as I cannot speak German and they ship internationally via DHL.

Any info greatly appreciated
Cheers and thanks
