having been a buyer from play for a few years now i was frustrated to get hammered by customs after ordering a R1 LOTR boxset from them. i know theres now a warning when ordering R1 stuff now, but having never been stung from therm before i was disappointed...

When you say 'hammered', what did you pay for the discs and what were the charges?

G'day Elephant,
Seriously, Customs don't hand the VAT, Import duty and handleing charges to Play. These monies go to the Chancelor. It's a consequence of paying more than £18. Try ordering from companies that ship from the UK, some do (I don't know why, Interdvd?).

Best wishes

ive never had problems with play over the many years ive bought from them. anyway it wasnt an astronomical amount i got charged, but £12 was still quite a lot.
