$28.95 + $5.50(p&p) = $34.34 = £12.85

And that all depends on what rate your credit card gives you?

I know still proberbly cheaper, but pay £14.99 at CD Wow and you know what you are paying.

Total is £11.89 in fact! Yet to see any wild fluctuations in the exchange rate - at least none that would cost me an extra £3!!

Micoman - don`t forget we don`t pay the Government Surplus Tax (GST) which Ozzies have to pay :-)

Take 9% off the DVD Crave price, or alternatively, take the price there GBP £9.85, and just add on the $5.50 delivery !

I have ordered Region 1 DVD`s from Canada before and I have never been charged the price I thought it would be!

I ordered a box set from Canada (Absound) and the package had a big sticker on saying `Not to be delivered until charge is paid` put on by UK post office/customs. The charge was £14!!! Fortunately, it was delivered without me having to pay!

Is this something to watch out for or was this just an error?

Just a reminder when using your credit card for foreign purchases. Nearly all add a little bit on for buying in foreign money (2.5% upwards). One of the few that doesn`t is the Nationwide Credit card. That is why I`ve got one purely for these types of transactions. Usually find that the price charged to the card is what I was expecting and sometimes even less.
