Just planning ahead a bit here Has anyone seen a cheaper pre-order price for the Starwars espisodes 4-6 boxset than approx £22 from DVDSoon? Even with a bit of import duty that's the cheapest I've seen.
With import duty you would end up paying nearer to £30 and Amazon.co.uk are doing it for £28.99 so those 2 sites are the best places to get it from but I would go for Amazon as they wont take your money until September where as DVDSoon would take it now.
On anything over £18 it will be 21% (3.5 duty 17.5% vat) so it will be
so for £30 it will be
£6.30 + £4 for the post office fee
So if you get it from DVDSoon at £22 and get caught by Customs they will add on £4.62 then the Post Office Fees will be an extra £4.00 giving you a grand total of £30.62
Another problem with importing a pre release could be the exchange rate at the time of delivery. Around the time of the US election, apparently the dollar will grow stronger, increasing the value of the set. Therefore increasing customs.
If you order from WHSmiths you can get it for £26.99 by using the local store website with 10% off (see the Alien Quadrilogy thread a few days ago). If you get it delivered to your local store its P&P free. But they have the RRP at £29.99 so I think its a price error.
So with the link that's £27.49 but as we know, they take the money now. What happens if you do pre order, say at this price and then they reduce the price, do they refund you the difference?
