Region A Only Deal for UP

Amazon have a rather amazing offer on at the minute for Up. First off, it's only $19.99 which is a bargain itself, but if you go to this page:

Amazon.com: Blu-ray Offer

you can then add another title at ten dollars off, which includes getting titles such as Snow White, Cars and Pinochio for about $10 after the discount. Great stuff.

Re: Region A Only Deal for UP

shame as usual with amazon.com, that after adding postage (and customs charges) there's no real bargain to be had due to the exchange rate. Up on it's own plus postage works out as £16, add one of the cheaper titles for the discount and it works out to about £27 for the two, many of which you can get for a tenner or less in the UK anyway (you have to set it to ship the items seperately, which costs extra, otherwise you'll get stung for VAT as well)

Re: Region A Only Deal for UP

Even at £16 that's cheaper than Play (which will also get customs) and £7 cheaper than MT.

You can do another deal also where you buy Up and Monsters Inc together which gets you a $10 discount, you can then still add another title as per the promo so a deal of Up, Monsters Inc and (for example) Pinochio would cost in total $54.43 with shipping.

Re: Region A Only Deal for UP

I have just ordered it on its own. A bargain but I won't risk two BD's as Import VAT+Admin fee will be very likely.

Amazon shows the full price of the package not including any discounts.

Re: Region A Only Deal for UP

Actually, you can also throw in Monsters inc. and get a total of $20 off.

Just browse to the UP blu-ray and add UP+Monsters Inc. to your cart for $10 off. Then go to the page mentioned above and add another title of your choice from the list. Enter the promotion code at checkout and you'll get $20 off.

Still not super cheap, but at least cheaper

Re: Region A Only Deal for UP

What are shipping times like from Amazon.com?
It says standard shipping takes 18 days which seems a bit excessive. Can anybody confirm this?

Around 10-14 days if it is under the customs limit. If it gets caught by customs then it could be 3 or more weeks and a bill for the waiting.
