New Region 1 Retailer - Smartz Place

Was browsing over at another forum and noticed http://www.smartzplace.com listed and someone had just tried them out with good results. Checked them out as knew nothing about them and they look ok. Seem to be a pretty much newer site from what I can tell.

Prices are ok and with some special shipping rates to the UK which was nice to see so appear they are targetting international customers as well as the U.S. Didn't place an order just yet but think I will give them a try very soon. Couldn't see anything about coupons or specials specifically but maybe they will be running some sales if they are new to attract customers. Would be nice!

Eh, had a look and it's nothing spectacular. Essentially $4 shipping per title, which is better than Amazon, however the prices (on Blu-rays at least) are higher so in the end Amazon is still cheaper for the most part.

Re: New Region 1 Retailer - Smartz Place

I sent them an e-mail about customs and came back "friendly". That's a bonus so I am placing an order and we will see.

Actually in comparison to most these guys do seem a little less expensive when factoring in price plus shipping. Yes it's $3.98 for a single title to ship by cheapest method and only 50 cents more for expedited which seems impressive but for my 4 title order I am currently looking at total shipping to be $9.95.

Clicked on your link and everytime I click on something, I just get the green circle going round and round & have to close the browser.

Not sure what that could be as I don't have any problems from my end.
