Buying from DVDWorldUSA - any good?

Has anyone got any experience of buying from DVDWorldUSA?

I've noticed that they've got over 200 HD-DVDs on display.

It says they've got an office in the UK but things are shipped from Florida.

I don't think I've ever bought anything from abroad - is the process complex e.g. customs?

No problems what so ever. Used them loads of times

They are shipped to uk office and then sent to you via royal mail post, so no customs charges. They do get new films earlier than release dates, so their prices may be twice what you can end up if you waited for the R2 versions. Delivery is 3-6 days.
