DVD Pacific

I've noticed that DVD Pacific's prices seem much cheaper than movietyme's but I wanted to know what there service is like?

Do they add postage when shipping to the UK and are there custom charges?

Yes there e shipping charges, cheap though - about 1.50 for 10-14 day suface mail.

Yourun the risk of customs though if ordering over £18. Sinle DVDs will not incur any customs

cheers for the info. Think I'll stick with movietyme though as they can get stuff out in a day or two normally.

Think their cheapest shipping price has gone up to around £2 now

Still cheaper than MT though for most discs.

Course if you're in a hurry for discs then you won't mind paying the extra £1 or so that MT charge.

They charge £1 extra everytime you pay for an order with your credit/debit card. Stopped using them because I got sick of everything I ordered being held up at customs. When you add Price+delivery+£1 card charge it works out around the same as MT!

Never knew that.

Certainly didn't happen with the 2 orders I've placed recently

And has never happened on any of my orders

[domtheone]

Maybe fan73 works for MT

You'll probably find thats a charge imposed by your cc company for a foreign transaction. DVDPacific have no way of charging you that £1 on your orders. Their shipping rates have gone up by 50 cents recently though

I used them a few times now and found there service is very good. Dvd's take about 7days but that doesn't bother me as I still got dvd's that I've had for a month or so and still haven't watched.

I have never been charged any extra on my Credit Cardstatement than whats on my invoice. My only advice on that £1 charge is to change your credit card ???

I always got charged more on my card, I think some banks charge a set fee and some just use their own Exchange rate. Most HD I bought were about $24 which about £12.50 accoring to XE (before we had $2=£1!!) and I would be charged nearer £13.

[Indiana Jones]

I am with Nationwide who dont charge you any extra for buying in a different currency and all my orders have been within a few pence of what XE said when I ordered.

[domtheone]

Ditto

The CC company will usually lower the xchange rate by a few cents to what the real time rate is.

IE Purchase at DVD Pacific for $24 which at one time maybe £12 (say 2/1)

Card will be charged at say 1.97/1 exchange rate so the actual cost might be £12.20.

On DVD Pacific I always change the currancy to GBP British Pound before I start. I can't be bothered to try and work it out myself. So this is the price that is usual charged to my Credit Card give or take a few pence.
