RE: CD-WOW: Customs charge loophole found?

But the terms and conditions still mentions that customs charges may apply. So, if you do get stiffed, they can`t be blamed for it.

RE: No customs charge...?

No, it`s still there in the T&C (Terms and Conditions), so I assume they only had to display it prominantly for a certain length of time. Now, it`s on the onus of the customer to fully aquaint themselves with the rules, like most things in life.

:(

RE: Back To The Future - Triology - Region 2 only £17.99 at cdwow

It`s now £18.99 (or £18.74 with the 192) and says Region 2. Doesn`t mention 4 at all anymore.

DVDSoon - Postage change

Hi,

Just to let everyone know that DVDSoon have changed the free international postage charge from C$150.00 to C$165.00

And the free international courier charge from C$200.00 to C$225.00

Still not a bad deal though.

RE: Welsh Subtitles

Well Anil, how about we don`t have the Hindi or Arabic subtitles either? Anyone living in Britain and buying a British R2 DVD should have to learn English only.

For someone who must have dealt with racial issues in the past, you don`t have a very enlightened view of tolerating a minority in Britain.

And no, there are quite a few Welsh people out there for whom English is totally foreign to them.

RE: DVD Soon:- GETTING REALLY P****D OFF WITH THEM

I ordered 4 discs from them coming to about £65.00 and customs didn`t have a look. The order came sooner than I expected. They shipped on a Wednesday and I got them on the Monday, faster than they advertise.

In this age of internet shopping, I`m sure that customs just don`t have the time or the resources to be as thorough as they once were. And hooray for that.

I`m now selling 3 of the discs on ebay and I should make enough profit to pay for the 1 disc that I`m keeping. Hooray for silly ebay buyers.

Welsh Subtitles

Has anyone ever seen any Welsh subtitles on UK R2 releases?

I`ve checked all mine and none have them.

Are there any Welsh speakers out there who would like to see Welsh subtitles put onto UK R2 releases?

Should we start a petition.

I`m not Welsh BTW, just fighting injustice.

RE: Play.com

Canada is a dual language country, not an English speaking one that has a few shouty French people in it. There are Canadians out there who do not speak any English at all. In Quebec City you will not see any English signs. Canada is a R1 country, but they have to take into consideration the needs of that country. Legally all packaging in Canada has to be in both French & English.

Try asking a Welsh person who speaks no English, how fair it is that everything on British R2 packaging is written in English and that generally there are no Welsh subtitles. In fact I just checked all my R2 British DVDs and there are no Welsh subtitles on any of them.

NB. I am neither Welsh, French or Canadian.

RE: Play.com and new region 1 customs clause

They are just covering their backs. They must have had a big fight with a customer who got charged and is trying to get recompense from Play for the customs charges.

It`s the usual corporate lawyer stuff, like having to write CAUTION: CONTENTS MAY BE HOT on the side of a hot cup of coffee from McDonalds.

But I`ve never had any problems with Play. They are one of the best.
