Thanks again for sharing your insight on this! I did end up placing an order yesterday for Jeannie (plus a few other titles) and contacted customer service right afterwards to ask about a GST refund. Already this morning, I've had a very friendly response confirming that their customer service team can absolutely help me with that, but they need the tax invoice to be generated first, which won't happen until the package ships out, so they said they'd follow up with me when that happens. I have no idea how much the refund will be yet, but I'm happy to wait for it.

I reckon the issue is when there's an item that's not available for international shipping, the shipping price goes to zero because it's not actually an order that will go through. If you were to go further through the checkout process it would presumably advise you that the order couldn't be placed.

You very well could be right!

Thanks y'all for letting us late to the party know about JB Hi-Fi's sale, I was able to get the set for cheaper than I excepted. Had to pay for shipping, but the overall price was still less than I was expecting to pay.

Well, after a couple of weeks of back and forth via e-mail with Via Vision my pre-order bundle finally arrived this morning.

Honestly everything exceeded expectations, each box was wrapped individually with a healthy amount of bubble wrap and some paper on top for added protection. The boxes were undamaged with no loose disks which is my biggest fear.

I haven’t gone through too much of them yet, but from what i’ve seen, the quality is excellent. Overall i’m very happy.

I bought this in the 20% off sale at http://www.jbhifi.com.au so ended up A$223.20. Without a discount https://www.ezydvd.com.au/ have it the cheapest at A$269.97.
Obviously US dollars would be much less after conversion.

And now the waiting starts.

Here has been my experiencing in ordering from Australia to the US

Phase 1: Order arrives in the US within 2-3 days. Wow! How did they do that?

Phase 2: Order meanders through the USPS system for 10-20 days until it eventually arrives on my porch. Whoa! Why did it take so long?

I haven't seen much about the release itself here yet, so here are my thoughts.

I didn't buy the Mill Creek release after I saw how bad it was and was very happy once Imprint announced their version. I received mine a week ago or so and am very happy with the quality. The picture is wonderful even though it appears that the prints used are the same as what were on the DVDs. It is true HD unlike the Mill Creek release.

I know some are disappointed at the Season 2 theme not being included and that the skip is still there in the music of the theme in Seasons 2-5. Also the few episodes with replaced music and effects are still present. Even so, it is still a great release and I am very happy with my purchase!! It's the best Jeannie release by far ever!!

I don’t think any, or very little of the Via Vision releases ever come with captions or subtitles. Really annoying as I was looking at the Baron complete series release but decided against for that reason.

My copies of IDOJ and Bewitched Bluray sets both have English subtitles.

I’m guessing you are talking about the Imprint sets and not just stuff from Via Vision? There is a difference and I had noticed a definite lack of captions or subtitles. There are some but very infrequent.

Ah, yes. I only buy Imprint titles. Even there, not everything has subtitles. TOA #4, for example, did not, which I found very disappointing.

I really would think at this point, subtitles would be a standard feature. Heck, even AI generated text would be better than nothing, imho. How expensive would that be? (Not saying that I prefer AI to human generated, only that if that was the only option...)

You can try Via Vision directly or JB Hi-Fi to see if they ship to Canada. Yes, they are region free.

Okay. Was wanting to buy Man In A Suitcase but found out it lacks subtitles so was a bit miffed but saved some money. I have this set due to arrive today. Little scared as I ordered it from Amazon. Diabolik and Orbitdvd run out so fast.
Hoping the fact I bought from a third party will help me getting one undamaged.
