If you don't care I might jump in and do one. Just sold a lot of stuff that opened up my budget for some JP imports

Just include in the GB's opening post that an additional charge may apply (charge may be estimated depending on apsmith's import/duties invoice).

I'm looking for Japan's Trainspotting, Equilibrium and the Crow, among others. So, when do we start?

[Jester217300]

Wouldn't start until next week... I have a busy weekend.

I might be down for The Crow next time you do this. Somebody please PM me if I forget to check back.

Fedex charges $5 to process the package and the assessed the import duty which was like 2.something percent.

It ended up being about $1.40 a disc. Not a huge amount, but nevertheless disappointing to get a bill for - apparently this is a new thing for fedex - I don't think they use to charge a broker fee + duties.

It's really a bargain considering the purchase amount - whenever you deal with a broker, like IBC, it gets way more expensive than Fedex.
