That is what I'm thinking. Expedited only cost me an extra $4-5 so it's so bad for Boxsets and limited edition sets

Oh, well that makes sense, thanks C!

(I'm assuming the Amazon UK stuff comes by air? Or do ships from the UK come directly, but those from North America come via Vladivostok or Yokohama or somewhere? I think I'd had it in my head that all these shipments go by air, for some reason.)

Has anyone got any insight on this?

I believe they still ship them via steam boat

It take between a week and two weeks for Amazon UK to get my parcels to USA

I wish Amazon.com had free shipping.. quite a few titles I want to get, but they want something like 30+ for 6 titles.. the box ain't that bloody big.

$30 for 6 titles.? That's crazy. It costs me $15 for three big Boxsets which would equal more than 6 titles...

I went to purchase 15 titles (out of the 45 I'm tracking) yesterday from Amazon.com but decided to wait until the end of the week (if I remember correctly they dropped the price on all ready discounted movies even further last year towards the end of BF sales), and the postage only come to about $16.

Yeah sorry, I forgot it changed it to NZ currency... still, us titles are half the size of the UK cases.
