E: 30.4.05 10% off DVDSoon.Com Voucher

Options
See here for details - will give you 10% off any purchase, but I think you can only use it once per person.

Code=TIMESMA05

The site is canadian, but you can convert the currency using a exchange rate converter like this one.

Edit - forgot to mention, this seems to be open to all ;)

    Thanks Stumpy! I use these quite regularly and 10% off one of the boxsets I just ordered has taken it below the £18 for customs charges :)

    How much would the customs charge be? First time I've bought anything from Canada, and they look like having some good deals so may go back :D

    I've only had to pay customs once - once a DVD box set costing about £28 - had to pay around £9 I think. Was frustrating, but still saved loads of money as the Region 2 DVD box set in the UK was £60.

    Blimey - I'll have to make sure I avoid that then - I was expecting you to say a couple of quid. An additional 30% on top seems a bit excessive. :(

    Royal Mail's handling fee is £4 and customs on a £20 boxset was £3.50 so all in all if your boxset was £20 you would have to pay an additional £7.50 in charges.

    DVDSoon used to mark all their box sets etc. as being worth £18, even when they cost more than that, to bypass customs charges. I don't know whether they still do, though. You might be lucky!

    They mark all of their packages the proper price now (I think they got told off by customs! a while back). Depending on your postie and local customs you can still get lucky though.

    I used to but dvd's from the USA and got stung with charges until i noticed that you could get it gift wrapped for $2.00 and the invoice would have $0.00 next to everything thus it was classed as a Gift with no value :D it was a while ago but not sure if anywere still offers a service like that anymore.
