Will Amazon.co.uk ship to the U.S.? - Blu-ray Forum

vick vega · 12-23-2007, 03:58 PM

They have Kill Bill 1+2 and Pulp Fiction for pre-order on it, and amazon.com has neither. Does anyone know if they ship to the U.S., and if it will play on a PS3 from the states?

JJ · 12-23-2007, 04:01 PM

They do ship, it just costs a bit more, then there's customs and whatnot adding to the delay, and as far as playing on Region A players, might want to wait until that info is up on

http://bluray.liesinc.net/

before you make any sort of purchase.

vick vega · 12-23-2007, 04:16 PM

I don't know why they have it up when there's been no news anywhere about the release dates? I hope it looks awesome. Wonder why amazon.com doesn't have anything up about Pulp Fiction. They have Kill Bill 1+ 2 up to be notified when available on amazon.com

JJ · 12-23-2007, 04:18 PM

Well, keep in mind they also have that for Indiana Jones and Star Wars. And we all know THOSE aren't coming anytime soon.

Not coming any time soon, they've been pushed back like three times already and are now slated for March. Don't hold your breath.

I wouldn't pre-order any of those. I'd wait till you can get solid info, like it saying "in stock". As people have said, they keep getting bumped for release.

The USA does not tax entertainment items for import duty. When I lived there I bought maybe a 100 items from the UK to the USA and never once got hit for taxes.

In the USA you only get hit for taxes if buying inside your own state.

Kirsty_Mc · 12-24-2007, 01:08 AM

All of the above... PLUS

Don't hold your breath... These titles has been bumped more than a Dodgem Car!!! If they actually make it on their new release date I'll be amazed... but very happy indeed.

Apparently they are out in Australia (according to one website). On another website in Australia they are scheduled for release December 2008.

there not out here.

bhampton · 12-24-2007, 10:22 AM

Hey,

There's no reason to think they aren't coming out here in the US.

If you are looking at a film that's not a mainstream hit then maybe but those films will all be out here at some point.

Having to wait let you save up for um

Use sendit.com from UK, it's the best site, they have a GIFT option (option) and the package pass 'Blindly' to the custom with that option...

+ their shipping fee are way better..

meremortal · 09-09-2013, 02:26 PM

Sorry to bump an older thread, but it does address the very question I had. What is the current fad in 2013 for importing titles and not paying an arm and a leg for shipping? I want a few Euro titles myself but have never imported. Don't suppose my Prime membership would give any sort of .uk discount for Amazon. So is sendit still the one to go with or Amazon UK? Or another option(s).

No, US Prime doesn't work on amz uk, neither do Amazon US credit/GC's. Shipping isn't even that high on amazon UK so I almost always order there, or Zavvi.com (shipping is very cheap there).. Buying multiple items saves on shipping too.

Mansinthe · 09-09-2013, 02:45 PM

you will get the VAT removed. so it should be a good deal anyway for people from the US.

James Luckard · 09-09-2013, 07:28 PM

Amazon.co.uk is great. I order from them every couple of months. BDs are quite often cheaper than comparable US releases (especially once VAT is removed at checkout) and shipping to the US is comparable to US Amazon rates and usually takes less than a week, often only about 3-4 days to the West Coast.

Yeah, that VAT removal helps quite a bit and shipping is usually only around $4 for a package of several movies. The best part is that it gets across the Atlantic to my house in about 4-5 business days.

Atreyu · 09-09-2013, 07:55 PM

It's almost as fast as the free shipping option from Amazon here in the U.S.

I hated the free shipping with Amazon before I got Prime. It would always take at least 5-6 business days to get to my house and many times it was more like 7 or 8 and of course I never got anything on release day. Prime changed all that for me along with everything they offer on the Kindle for free.

meremortal · 09-09-2013, 10:24 PM

Sweet. I'll have to jump on Cube and a few others I've been wanting for a while, then.

remake · 05-01-2014, 01:44 PM

Anyone know how much it would cost to ship one blu-ray to the U.S.? does that shipping double when ordering 2?
