Bailey`s 1litre £8 a bottle
Instore at ASDA they are selling the Bailey`s Irish Cream for £8 a bottle. This is the 1 litre and not the 70cl. The 70cl is £9.98.
Morrisons started selling the 1 litre bottle for £10 this week, followed by Tesco at £9.99, and now ASDA have gone even cheaper.
I think the ASDA deals ends 2 December.

RE: Cheap DVD Imports - Pound Vs. Dollar
I use a visa debit card with no problems.
If you just ordered Without A Trace it would be well under the Customs limit which for December is $34.45.
Only if your total order (not including shipping charges) is more than $34.45 would you be liable for Customs charges.
Different banks charge differing amounts when you use it to purchase items in a different currency. You would have to ask for the exact figures.
A quick seacrh on Google came up with "Halifax, Lloyds TSB and NatWest debit cards charge for each transaction of between 75p and £1.50 plus a conversion fee of 2.75%.
So you would probably be looking at about £9 for the first season of Without A Trace including all shipping and charges from your bank.
The above is only an estimate so don`t take it as FACT!
If you think it is worth taking the risk at least you will find out how much your bank charges for purchasing from the U.S.A. for future reference.
RE: Cheap DVD Imports - Pound Vs. Dollar
The Nationwide debit card doesn`t charge any commission or currency conversion charges, but I believe most other card providers do. There is usually a small charge of around 2% or £1.50 - £2.00.
If you are importing into the U.K. don`t go over £18 (excluding shipping charges) which is $34.45 at HM Revenue & Customs December rate, or you will have to pay import tax (around 17.5%) and Royal Mail handling fee of £4.00.

RE: Cheap TV Season Box Sets eg Without A Trace Season 1 £4.42!
Now with the Dollar even weaker against the Pound these are even cheaper!
And they have reduced some of the titles even further eg. V the Series down from $19.99 to $11.99.
HM Revenue & Customs December rate £1 = $1.914 so maximum to avoid customs charges is $34.45.

HMV Sale (cough)
The HMV sale is online but the usual con!
Nearly all the tv series box sets have "Sorry... title no longer on special offer"
Since the sale has only just been online I doubt that these titles were ever in the sale!
RE: A message from hmv.co.uk
Also got the same email.
I am still waiting for the dvd I ordered in early November for a Christmas present.
First one they sent is supposed to have got lost in the postal system when they finally answered one of my emails. Since I ordered lots of items online this year it seems strange that only the HMV package got lost.
3 days left for it to arrive in time!
