    US Blu-Rays are cheap but shipping is expensive and anything £18 or over must be customs declared resulting in 15% VAT + an £8 Royal Mail handling fee.

    Instead I buy from 3 different websites, all of which operate within the EU and sell US Blu-Rays to the UK without customs.

    AxelMusic.com - very fast though expensive (I paid £21 for My Bloody Valentine 3D but it came 5 days later). They sell region free and Region locked Blu-Rays. P&P is based on weight.

    BluBastard.com - they're based in London and are the cheapest of the three but delivery ranges from swift to slow (my Wolverine came the next day while my Transformers 2 came 10 days later - admittedly the postal strikes hindered it). However they're limited to only selling US Region Free Blu-Rays. P&P is free in the UK and EU.

    Movietyme.com - very expensive but efficient service. I've never used it but some of my friends have. They sell DVDs, Region free and region locked Blu-Rays and have the biggest selection of the three. P&P depends on the service you want (free for delivery that takes up to 28 days, a small cost (I think either 99p or £1.99) for fast delivery).

    I can address the "price" part. I paid $22.99 USA for Transformers 2 on release date. That's our retail price in the stores - $7.00 for opening day discount. If it was sold for less than that I would guess that it was a scam or possibly stolen.
