Lost

[ScoobyZ]

Hi was hoping to get lost the TV series. Excuse the pun, but it appears that the R2 version is only have the series ! (so I have read) So am looing to get the R1 version. I see that amazon.com have it at a good price but have a question as it will work out about £22 will I get stung from amazon. I know the rule is about £18 but some companys the stuff gets through.

Alternatively does anyone recommend a place that has it for a good price as doing a search for LOST brings up loads of films.

PS. I had a look on ebay and can't believe the number of copied ones being sold. One guy has 40 for sale !!!!

Most people on here including me have got Lost Season 1 from Movietyme as its only £29.99 delivered and you dont have to worry about customs

 

[ScoobyZ]

Thanks been looking round and that looks the best deal.

Bit worried about customs though.

Some items if shipped to customers outside of the US may be subject to inspection and additional duties and taxes may become payable, these extra charges must be bourne by you the customer.
If you require any further information with regards to these charges please contact your contries Customs agency.

It is on next day delivery from Movietyme - it will be sent from within the UK and there is zero chance of a customs charge.

When does Season 2 come out on R1 DVD ?

i reckon it wont be until sometime next year. they are only on episode 6 this week of season 2.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Actually there is no more Lost for 3 weeks in the US so will be quite some time until Season 2 is on DVD, probaley next August/September.

i got mine from amazon marketplace. arrived within 2 weeks from america in superb condition, and cost only about £25 including postage. I asked the guy to mark it under £18 and he ended up putting it as $21. You will probably get caught if you buy it from Amazon proper though.

ScoobyZ, I ordered mine from Amazon for around the £22 mark, delivery is around 7-10 days but their was no customs charge

I ordered my R1 from amazon.com on 13th October with standard international shipping and it hasnt arraived yet. It's predicted delivery date is 14th November, is it really going to take this long? Wish I'd seen this thread before ordering as I would have done it through movietyme How likely is it for customs to get involved?

How likely is it for customs to get involved?

Very

 

[daver555]

Doh

Im after the region 1 version to, like the price of 29.99 from movieetyme but now Im worried about the customs charges. Worst case if I had to pay them what sort of price are we looking at, happy paying around £5 or is it likely to be much more than that?

 

[daver555]

Just received a Royal Mail note saying there's a £4.43 customs fee and £4 Royal Mail clearance fee. Oh well, at least I got my box set.

If there is a charge, MovieTyme will refund you - check the site.

 

[daver555]

Anything over £18 is subject to custom and excise tax/charges according to my packaging

 

[rb5201]

Well Ive oredered mine off movietyme, if I do get charged and they refund it then great, still better value than buying the rip off region 2 set.

Not from Movietyme. They either pre pay if sent from out side europe or send to their UK offices and resend on. Everything I have had from them has had a uk post code. No custom charges.

 

[Indiana Jones]

Yep, Movietyme either get stock inside the UK or send from the US to Europe and then re-post from there so no customs charges.

 

[chrislad]

I've never gotten charged customs fees from Movietyme. Then again, I've never gotten charged customs fees. Period.

 

[robyoung]

Yep, i can also vouch for Movietyme, was the first time i used them.

Ordered Lost Series 1 on the Wednesday and was at my door Thursday morning! Very impressed!!

Well considering Lost Season 1 is listed on their site under Same Day Dispatch there is no way you can get customs as it is already inside the UK.

Does anyone know when Episode 23 is on?

I normally watch each episode on E4 on a sunday a 9, but there seems to be all sorts of episodes and snippets on today.

Is normal service resumed at 9 tonight?

 

[jamesrr]

The last two are on Channel 4 tonight back to back.

 

[daKlone]

Not according to the Channel 4 website it's not, James - anyone know when it is on for real?

 

[jamesrr]

You have to be kidding me. That's what they said after the last episode shown on E4 last Wednesday. - "that was the last first chance episode of Lost on E4 as the finale will be shown as a two part special on Channel 4 next week" - or words to that effect.

Sorry if I've given bum information.

 

[themoid]

never trust channel 4

 

[jamesrr]

Looks like episode 23 is on channel 4 tonight and no sign of the final episode on either channel 4 or e4
