I know them well, many a bulk order placed as their codes change regularly.

They have same owner as WoWHD and like them reshipped in U.K. so avoiding a customs declaration and customs charges for customers. However no idea how long current situation will continue. If customs have stopped direct to u the owner selling as allyourmusic on U.K. based trading platforms like eBay.co.uk they may raid at any point their reshipping operation to stop the potential tax avoidance given the assumption for the close down of their U.K. based sales operations was they weren’t correctly paying VAT.

Yes, they cover the customs fees so you don't have to.

The allyourmusic ebay store is now only showing one listing, a £46 DVD boxset. But if you have any saved bookmarks like this for "Secretary", it's flagged as;

This seller is currently away, and isn't processing orders at this time. You can add this item to your Watch list to keep track of it.

Doubtful it will be back for UK buyers, I guess you'll have to use the WowHD arm of the company from now on, if they can avoid the HMRC banhammer.

Be careful with Amazon's currency conversion, something like Coco is $19.99, which is £14.04 by HM Revenue & Customs exchange rate, but £15.50 with Amazon's. It won't matter if they're customs friendly, but every 50p (and 20p with shipping) helps!

They definitely use the same fulfilment centre, as stock arrives from the same location as wow, etc, and in the same packaging. Items are obviously second-hand, but I've had the odd sealed item slip in too.

I just order in GBP, I get charged a currency conversion by my bank anyway. And I would've got Coco if I hadn't already got someone in the US to pick me up a copy to go with a few other discs I wanted.

i think amazon still charges in $ even if you place the order in £.

HMC&E have a web page somewhere that tells you the exchange rate they're using month by month - doesn't differ day to day.

May's £15 limit is about $21.35 and CDN $26.89.

don't know what you're using to calculate that, but i was thinking of this :

https://www.gov.uk/government/public...r-2018-monthly

which is what's actually applied by HMRC, rather than any exchange used by a site like XE, or amazon USA, or even your CC's one.

I always use the HM Revenue & Customs rates, as it's the only one that matters if your item gets stopped at the border.

No, they actually charge in £ if you select their currency converter. You can't use their converter more than a month out from something being released though so it doesn't work on pre-orders a lot of the time.

Doesn't bother me about the $$ exchange rate for customs purposes, it's roughly 1.33:1 to the £ and has been for a while so anything under $20 is my yardstick. Haven't even checked the HMR&C rates in a while, and when I did it was for Canuck dollars and not US ones.

I got The Post 4K in the post today, also 8 days from dispatch. Fastest turnaround I've had from them in quite some time.

What's Deep Discount like for new releases, and how much is postage?

They usually ship 5-6 days before release & take roughly 8-10 days to arrive.

Shipping to the UK is $6 and then goes up $2 for every extra title added to your order.
