    A film called Carandiru is also available - I have never heard of it though....

    £15.99 amazon UK - £12.65 + £1.24 postage from Jersey.

    Shrek 2 is £10.65 + £1.24 postage from Jersey

    There are savings to be made, but they are not huge because super saver delivery does not apply - the limit for no vat on imported goods is £18 - wonder if that goes some way to the reason of £19 minimum for super saver...  ::)

    Love actually is £16.99 (inc postage) in jersey, £18.99 uk - but I have a feeling it may well be cheaper elsewhere

    If you purchase from jersey, you may be liable to pay VAT charges. I contacted customs & excise about something which I was anticipating getting from Jersey, they said only children's clothes are exempt from VAT, if purchased from Jersey.

    Goods valued at less than £18 are never charged VAT depending on the goods) mainly because it is not worth the time and effort of collection for the values involved.

    Most DVD's and CD's are under this value - this is how places like CD-WOW offer cheap prices.

    You will find that goods valued at less than £18 are not charged(or exempt from) customs/excise duty, there is a difference.
