German Blu-rays available at Grooves-Inc

[McCrutchy]

Hi all,

I just wanted to let people know that I found a cheaper alternative to Amazon.de for those in the USA (and possibly elsewhere) for purchasing German Blu-ray Discs:

http://www.grooves-inc.com/

What's interesting about these guys is that they offer US $2.70 shipping, and free shipping to the USA on orders over US $27.02. This means that they effectively beat Amazon.de, who charges at least EUR 14,00 shipping for one BD or DVD to the USA. They also accept PayPal.

I placed an order with them on 10 December (Friday) for Edge of Darkness (US $20.44) and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (US $24.39) for a total of US $44.83. The former item shipped on 14 December and arrived on 20 December. The latter item was shipped on 16 December and arrived on 24 December. Both items were dispatched from Switzerland and came in bright red padded envelopes with the company name on them via Deutsche Post.

For comparison, purchasing these same items on Amazon.de today would have cost EUR 43,40 shipped, or US $59.14 (according to Amazon.de currency conversion), with standard (8-12 business days) shipping.
