DV-Depot & Customs

On their website (http://www.dv-depot.com) it says that they have ways of getting around Customs on import to the UK.

Can I order the Sopranos boxset (~ $70) in complete confidence that it will arrive:
a) just arrive
b) arrive on time
c) arrive without being charged about £20?

Any other cos that are good for R1 boxsets (Play247.com don`t have the Sopranos on their site)?

Dan.

I ordered with them before (twice).
It WILL arrive.
takes about 10-14 days from the day they dispach.

my first order was 2 boxsets and a single.
I asked it to be send individually to avoid the custom but for some reason they didn`t (but when I e-mailed them about it, replied promptly and gave me an also very prompt refund of the postage difference). They anyway don`t send more than 3 disks / packet.
For the first order, the packets seemed to come from the UK.
the second (2 disks: $35) from France I think altough there was a US content declaration on it (but listed as commercial sample :-)

So although you can`t absolutely guarantee not to have to pay custom, I`d say it`s VERY unlikely.

Good shopping
