Amazon TV Boxset Deals inc heroes

Just browsing through amazona and noticed some cheap prices for boxsets

Desperate Housewifes Season 1 £14.98

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Desperate-Ho...tit_10_rdssss0

Without A Trace Seasons 2 and 3 £9.98 each

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Without-Trac...6890013&sr=1-2
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Without-Trac...6890013&sr=1-1

Heroes Season 1 Marketplace seller £17.72

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-lis...O/ref=dp_olp_2

I actually got this earlier this week. Seller is in OZ but its the official UK R2 release and a bargain at half the amazon price.

Re: Amazon TV Boxset Deals inc heroes

Balls, I just ordered Heroes and then realised that it's the standard DVD version.

Tried to cancel but can't see where, hard to believe they are packing it already, onl ordered 2 minutes ago.

Re: Amazon TV Boxset Deals inc heroes

As far as I'm aware you can't cancel a marketplace order once it's placed.

Might be worth contacting the seller and asking them if they would cancel the order?

Many Australian discs are dual coded R2 and R4. They are the same discs and often made in the same factory and just shipped to different parts of the world.

The eight disc set of recent Miss Marples (Geraldine McEwan version) is £12.99 (or £15 instore)

Sorry - complete rubbish. I meant HMV. Good deal though!

When you've got over 1000 dvds you kinda start to appreciate those single amarays that can hold 7 discs.

Personally, I can't wait for a cheap AU release of Smallville S6.

As far as I know you have a right to cancel the marketplace order. If the seller has posted it then you will incur return postage charges. Can't remember the time period that you have to cancel though.

Sorry, I didn't mean you couldn't cancel the order at all, but I'm sure that there's no cancel button in your order details for marketplace orders (unlike for Amazon orders) - if you want to cancel you have to contact the seller and then pay return postage (as you said) if they've already sent it.

it is most definatly region 2 uk release. UK classification. I also found it strange that the uk edition is being shipped from australia but can 100% confirm it IS region 2
