Importing DVD Box Set to UK

[Ian J]

I'm wanting to buy the DVD box set of Corner Gas which is currently unreleased in the UK.

Anyone give me tips for best place to get it on-line and imported to the UK?

Corner Gas is an excellent series, which never appeared over here in the UK as far as I know. You can buy the DVDs from Amazon UK - [EDIT] Sorry, link is misbehaving!!! but obviously, as they are US imports they will be Region 1 discs and not playable with standard Region 2 DVD players.

Unfortunately it looks as though there is no cheap way to get the complete collection legitimately

You could always ask out American and Canadian friends here on the forum for help...

I have looked on Amazon and ebay and people are charging what appear to be inflated prices.

Yeah hopefully someone in the US / Canada can help.

You know you can buy from amazon US and have it shipped to the UK.

I have done the opposite before. Just takes a bit to find someone that will do the shipping

Just tried adding it to my basket and it's nearly £40 before shipping :-(

I suppose we're spoiled in the UK with box set prices.

I saw the full Breaking Bad on Blu-Ray for £25 the other week.

If that is an entire multi-season series, that is actually pretty damn good. I remember paying ~$50 a season for House M.D. a while back.

Yeah it was the full 5 seasons, most box sets in the UK are very reasonably priced when you see how many discs are in the box compared to individual movies.

Might have to add a watch to Amazon and wait for it to drop in price a bit.

Those prices have been there since I looked six months ago... They're not dropping any time soon. I still think they are pretty reasonable myself if you buy them individually. Those full sets are stupidly priced though.

Jane bought me this for Christmas and I'm a bit concerned it may be a bootleg due to the the packaging and video image quality.

Does anyone in the US / Canada have the boxset that can confirm a couple of things for me.
