Why would you want to buy DVDs from overseas??? If you have a multi-region DVD player you are asking me a daft question!!! Firstly, nine times out of ten films are released in region 1 (USA/Canada) roughly 2 months before they are released in the UK. The other 1 time they are released simultaneously ... Read review

The best US based dvd retailer on the web
Review of dvdboxoffice.com by kano

Advantages: HUGE RANGE (good for hard to find editions), free worldwide delivery, titles packed seperately to avoid duties
Disadvantages: longer delivery time (same as most US based shops), navigation could be better, disc information could be alot better (maybe due to large range??)

Why would you want to buy DVDs from overseas??? If you have a multi-region DVD player you are asking me a daft question!!! Firstly, nine times out of ten films are released in region 1 (USA/Canada) roughly 2 months before they are released in the UK. The other 1 time they are released simultaneously here and USA. Secondly, DVDs from america have more extras on them!! They get more special editions, and generally just more titles are available on ...
...having said that, in my honest opinion you can purchase region 1 dvds from 2 sites. Play247.com or DVDboxoffice. Yes there are many others that are happy to take your money, but I have gotten consistent performance from both of these sites so can thoroughly recommend them to anyone. Why do I use 2 sites I hear you saying??? Play247 is good for mainstream and newly released DVDs. Where DVDboxoffice fills my void is in titles that are harder to find. ... Read review

The Best Place to Buy DVDs - Period.
Review of dvdboxoffice.com by Vistaway

Advantages: Free International Shipping, good selection, good service
Disadvantages: Weak Website Design

Firstly, anyone who is serious about DVDs has a multi-region player and is buying Region 1 discs - anyone who isn't needs to wake up. Assuming it's Region 1 you are after, DVD Box Office is simply the best place to buy discs. This Canadian upstart has been around a while now, and has a great reputation. Most notably, they offer FREE SHIPPING internationally. This makes a huge difference in the price for those used to paying shipping from DVD Express ...
...(although slightly smaller than the big boys) and the prices are in line with any other North American outfit, with discs ranging from $20-$30 US (£14-20), and considering it includes all shipping and extras, it is a great deal. Titles are available months before the UK, and shipping is quick, usually taking a week or so. The discs come packed in padded mailers, arriving in perfect condition but avoiding any duties or taxes at the border (since they ... Read review

Great Site!
Review of dvdboxoffice.com by Lukey

Advantages: Great Titles, Great Prices
Disadvantages: Long Delivery

This site offers free shipping worldwide, which makes a pleasant surprise. Of course because Boxoffice is based in the States you can get hold of films before they're available in the UK and they're much cheaper than over here. New Arrivals take centre stage on the opening page of the site and you're looking at prices between £15 and £20 for the latest movies. Impress your mates by getting hold of the latest movies before they hit UK shops with ... Read review

The best DVD shop - ever!
Review of dvdboxoffice.com by pgarbutt

Advantages: Free Delivery and fast with it
Disadvantages: None

After receiving the URL for this company from a friend, I took a look around to see what was on offer. I have a region-free PC setup and so was not restricted on which region I could watch DVDs from. DVD Box Office has an excellent selection and I found it hard to choose which DVD I wanted to buy first. The best thing about these guys is that delivery is free and is not always tagged onto the price of the DVD you wish to buy. The other good thing ...
...so that you do not incur additional costs that you may get by ordering from other companies. The delivery speed is excellent. I had to wait for some time to receive my merchandise from DVD Empire (over three weeks), but DVD Box Office sent my films inside one week. Not bad for a Canadian company delivering to the UK (and for free remember!) Try these guys out - you cannot go wrong! ... Read review
