Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut + Hardcover Graphic Novel [US]

Sourcing this from the WBShop and getting the person to mark the customs form down will work out to roughly the same price as it would ordering from Amazon.com using their standard postage, but because the customs form is marked down you won't get any custom fees
very good point. there's always the risk of them checking,but if you provide the value when shipping they have less reason to question it. and by marking the value down, i wont get slapped with an import fee. at $35 the set works out at about £22, which is only £7 above the £15 threshold, so claiming its worth a few pounds less aint so bad
any chance you know any american hi-def users who could help me out with this ?

Boba-just a quick note-I've shipped dozens of packages to friends in UK over the years and customs has started not caring about low value, gift wrapping, gift marking etc, because they know packages are getting rerouted to avoid fees. Just the other day I sent items to a friend, and since it was close to his birthday I wrapped it all in paper, with a birthday card. He was still assessed fees. Some may slip through unscathed, but from what all have said, customs is handling these more strict it seems. One way or the other I am sure you can get your set-just be careful to evaluate all possibilities
Agh I missed out ordering it, I hope the price drops again.
Simon, WBshop.com is still showing the lower price plus the coupon might still be active. $35 plus shipping and possible customs duty might be cheaper still

Thanks ash, I checked it out but the price is up to $45 and they won't ship to the U.K.
My Harold & Kumar came like that as well. They shipped a replacement in a box and told me to keep or sell the damaged one...so I sold it!
Someone asked the Paramount Film Club (on Facebook) if they had any plans to release the ultimate cut in the UK, to which they said they were looking into a UK release at some point. I later followed it up by asking if it would be anything like the upcoming US edition, and they've just replied saying they're unsure at the moment, but the release will more than likely be next year.

Thanks Noodles, that sounds hopeful.
