Just got burned: if you're considering buying anything from DVD Pacific then make sure you read the small print.
The cost displayed on the screen where you click to submit your order is NOT necessarily the cost you will actually end up paying. Their website does not store what the shipping charge is going to be on a per-item basis. Instead it quotes the shipping charge for a single disc item ($6.98) and the total cost it displays uses that figure. If what you've actually ordered is (say) a Farscape boxed set which contains 11 discs then the shipping charge goes up to $16.88. There is a little footnote explaining that the price might be more than it says it is, but you have to go on to a separate page to find out how much more it might be, and of course you need to know exactly how many discs are in each boxed set.
Also www.dvdpricecheck.co.uk does not take this into account, so it will miscalculate the price and DVD Pacific is likely to come higher up the list than it should do.
