Best place for over £18 R1 boxsets?

Looking to get several boxsets- Futurama, Buffy S3, Family Guy, Simpsons S3... but all over £18 from Play.

Is there a reliable R1 supplier that will avoid getting caught?

Cheers

CD Wow - very cheap and they pay duty if get caught by customs but stock or R2 isn't as good as play.

Could try Future as they post from inside the UK

dvdsoon mark every item as $12 (less than £6) so you could order 3 box sets, not get stung, and get free delivery if the total order exceeds about £50 (>CAD $ 100)

Had a look on CD wow- missing a few boxsets- Family Guy, Futurama.

Do DVDsoon take 3 months to arrive? I've heard Splash are pretty bad as well.

I just got Space 1999 megaset for £77.89 inc. shipping (and the extra charge from my CC company), my orders are taking about 3-4 weeks to arrive on the cheapest (read free) delivery.

I only really looked at Disc Emp & Movietyme which both post form the UK so the price you see is the price you pay. (I'm a poet and I didn't even know it)

Ordered 24 Season One from Disc Emp had it within 2 - 3 days No complaints on my part.

re Buffy S3 - you might like R2 Buffy better. The R2 are dearer, but I prefer the R2 Buffys for some reason(s) I can't even remember now (oh dear). I think I've seen others posting much the same (tho with a better memory). If you have n't already, might be an idea to check around before getting R1.

Iam- I don't like Region 2 (I prefer R1). My DVD player is a pure R1.

And IMO the packaging for the R2 is terrible- brothers discs are scratched (no probs with my season 2 packaging)

R2 is £30 more- no thanks!
