Alien Legacy

Boo hoo.

Snapped this up at £38 from EZYDVD, but alas; this morning I had to pay another £9.60 at the Post Office before I could get my hands on it.

I had asked EZY to put "gift" on the packaging, but instead they stuck on a great big insurance invoice giving the value as AUS$90, which was a bit of a giveaway.

Still a good £20 cheaper than the shops, but what a nuisance.

I know this is probably stating the obvious, but did you know about the recent sale at woolworths - Alien Legacy boxset could be picked up for £29.99

Is this always the case with EZYDVD? Does anyone else have any experience of this sort of thing happening? Was thinking of ordering a few titles from them, but won`t now if this is what is going to happen.

Never been hit by customs with packages from Ezy myself

Just bad luck, I think. Apparently any purchase worth more than £18 should incur VAT at Customs, but only a few ever get picked up. Mine was one.

I did know about the sale at Woolies, but I missed all the copies of Alien Legacy in my area.

Ordered it from EZYDVD again for a friend for Christmas - it now sits in a local Post Office with £9 tax to pay. I`ve been stung twice!

And to add insult to injury, it`s now going for £30 all over the place.
