Cheapest Alien Box Set?

James Clews (Competent) posted this on Tuesday, 20th March 2001, 09:18

I desperately want to buy the "Aliens" box set, but am seriously put off by the ridiculous prices in the high street £69.99 in HMV.

I have them on vid, in a box set that came out in 1998, so I need the cheapest possible.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

Once again our Antipodean cousins get the best bargains.

Those nice people at Ezy DVD will send it to you for Aus$123.47 including shipping :-

This works out at about £43.40 at current rates. The only concern here is that you might have to pay customs charges if it gets stopped.

My calculations put the cost after duty and VAT at £52.78, plus any Post Office handling fee.

So you can have it for £43.40 if you`re lucky and £52.78 if you`re unlucky.

If you`re not too bothered about getting the box, www.bensonsworld.co.uk is selling each of the Alien films for £12.00.

Delivery took about 2 weeks for Aliens, but 3 & 4 are supposed to be quicker.

EzyDVD to the rescue again!

It appears they only sell the first two separately, but they are £10.05 each including delivery if bought separately :-

http://www.ezydvd.com.au/cgi-bin/esh/page.cgi?id=056385&cfg=ezydvd&page=product01&prodno=1127&c=Details

Or you order them together and save about 18 pence, to bring them in at a cost of £19.92

This runs the customs risk though, so probably better to order separately for the sake of 18p!

Just goes to prove if you shop around you can get all the bargains.

Thanks again guys.

Only problem is that Aussie sites dont take Switch...do they?
