Best places to buy box-sets without customs charge?

[MI55ION]

Could I have some suggestions as to places where we could buy box-sets, that is, orders over the £18 threshold, without getting the wrath of customs (this excludes movietyme).

AxelMusic
DVDsLimited
DVDWorldUSA

I would generally favour Axelmusic, but all of those are customs safe

If they have stock then DVDsLimited will be quicker as they are UK based. When the Post Office is behaving normally, goods usually arrive the next day. Axel are very good, too, but shipping takes 4 or 5 days typically, and can be longer. I haven't used DVDWorldUSA so can't comment one way or the other on them.

AxelMusic
DVDsLimited
DVDWorldUSA

All the 3 above sites seem to be quite expensive to be honest, and some ridiculous prices for criterion dvds, about the same price in pounds as they are in dollars on most USA sites.

hd-dvdworld will mark items as a gift to avoid customs and if you enter the code HighDef you get free shipping (this applies to Uk also). But i have heard bad reports about them, and i had to ask them 1 question 3 times before they answered, plus shipping seems very slow, but if the dvd comes eventually and you get it at a decent price, it's okay in the end.
