Anyone used Towerrecords for region1 imports. Quite a large collection but navigation is not what I would class as helpful http://uk.towerrecords.com/vcat.asp?label=sDVD

Not exactly cheap ($10 DELIVERY minimum order) but lots of stuff I wouldn't mind collecting. How do they get through customs?

i've used them to get CD's a couple of times, and got charged duty both times. they didn't put any customs notes on the boxes at all, which seemed to make them a likely target.

4 big orders, 2 got caught... Like russian roulette ordering from them. :(

I've ordered from them once before and got a hefty duty charge. My order came in a very big box that would have been more suitable for a DVD player and not a few DVDs!

Thanks for replies. Their catalog looks enticing bar the shipping cost and the possible customs hit. Some really obscure releases their that I haven't seen elsewhere. Pity!
