Page 1 of Family Box Ofiice - has anyone used them???

its a region 4 site with some prices seemingly cheaper than ezydvd.

The prices do look good but the delivery charge is $16 dollars where it`s $10 or less with Chaos Music and Ezydvd. As this only came up later in the order process it put me off. You need to have calculator on the go to find the best deal. I think Chaos Music is the best for price and I`ve had a lot from them. After you spend $200 dollars you become a Chaos Music special agent and this entitles you to 10% off your order providing it`s not already a reduced price. Also if you ordered say three dvds and there was a delay in posting one of them the delivery charge doesn`t increase. You still only pay $10. At least I think I`m right in this. Family Box Office is a nice clear site though and they go into plenty of detail on the dvds even saying if they are region 2 & 4 or just region 4. Sorry to be so long-winded.

I e-mailed them last week pointing out that they`re losing lots of UK business because of their high p&p.

Got an e-mail back saying they have dropped their p&p to $5.50 to match the likes of Ezydvd, and if you`re registered as an "international" customer, the price quoted is after deduction of Australian GST.

I`ve checked their site, and they have!!.

Just ordering one now. Have they changed policy again??
It says:-
Sea Mail - No longer available.
Air Mail (Economy) - No longer available.
Air Mail (Express) - $9.00
Puts the price of the disc up by 33%..

EDIT..
Seen the postage charges through HELP..
Says $5.50 for 1 DVD, $9 for 2 DVD`s.
I`m not getting insurance but it is a 2 discer(?). Wouldn`t normally pay postage for 2 DVD`s would you?? Same size case.
