Amazon UK has now dropped the four film set another £9 to £24.95 which makes it a steal for four films. I own this set and all are solid releases with great PQ and AQ so definitely worth the purchase!

There's a good deal in amazon UK. Get 2 blus for only 15 pounds that is around $22 dollars, and many are region free.

Can anyone confirm whether the set is region free? Amazon lists it as so but we all know how reliable they are.

I ordered the Godfather Trilogy earlier this week, it was 15 GBP for a few hours and I was able to pounce. I ordered Spiderman a few weeks ago for the same price. The prices on certain box sets seem to fluctuate so this thread should help everyone out. The Bourne Trilogy is awesome! I also got that for 15 GBP. So that is three solid box sets for $85 CDN which is amazing!

Try and break up your orders into smaller chunks. If you do you will rarely have to pay duty.

From my experience, the best is to do it in orders of 2, sometimes 3. Usually I'll rarely get duty on those.

Monster House £7.60
Across the Universe £7.17

Item Subtotal: £14.77
Shipping and handling: £4.07

Total: £18.84

Not too shabby

I find that if the order is less than £30 you won't get hit with duty.

Damn... I don't want to jinx myself, but I only got hit once on a large order. $20 is kind of low given its prob been that level for years and not accounted for inflation.

Great thread. Thanks. I just ordered the Bourne Collection. I wonder about extra features for these region free blu-rays. Do they usually work? When we were in France last year, I purchased Open Range on Blu-ray and while the movie played fine, the extras would not play. Perhaps those who have made a purchase from the UK. could indicate whether or not the extra features work.

[blurai]

i've ordered twice and got hit twice....but the price i got hit was basically taxes so im not worried...i prefer larger orders because shipping ends up being cheaper (keep in mind the first item is always the most expensive for shipping). In the end the price difference is still rather large so it ends up being a lot cheaper anyways....the only problem is the thicker than normal blu ray cases.

personally i wouldnt do it any other way than to order a bunch at a time...the only possible issue there is if they decide to break things up (which they have done for me...although it was 1-2 titles so i saved 'duties' on those)
