hd dvd 5.99 EUR Select Imports-bol.com

Hi All,

This is not for those seeking $5 movies, but still a good deal, if you're looking to order a larger # of imports. Shipping is hefty, but again, there may be titles worth it for you. Some others are 9.99.

I've ordered twice and never had a problem, with 2 larger orders. Some have complained about flimsy packaging, so YMMV.

I am the OP, at a few sites, and thought I'd share it here as well.

Enjoy!

I Just ordered a bunch a few day's ago, It's my second order, Should be noted that unless your ordering alot of movie's they'll limit /Cancel your order if over 4 titles. I had around 7 and got cancelled, they told me 4 was the magic number, but I know that their's been a few group orders with high numbers 20+ titles in a shippment with no problem.

Anyway's just thought I'd chime in because they are good to deal with My movie's were packaged kinda flimsy but still in a Cardboard box, with not disc issue's....

There's also a few coupon code's on this site. One of them gave me $2 euro's off shipping, not much but better than nothing. http://www.retailmenot.com/view/bol.com

Thanks for posting your experience.

Are you located in the US? If so, what were the shipping costs? What titles did you buy? And what type of payment did you use?

I'm in Canada and the Site has a flat rate for shipping unfortunetly (17.35 eur = roughly $27?) I bought 4 movie's ,

Lord of war
Underworld
Flyboys
Fog

Worked out to $85 shipped on my CC, Last time I ordered there was no duty/ import charge. Bol.com takes around 2-4 day's to ship and then 9-14 to get them.

I have done 2 group buys from them and while they seem to have a penchant for shipping me partial orders and their packing is atrocious it has been a decent overall experience. If folks want to do another group buy I am willing to do it (I seem to have no problems getting them to accept orders from me for 20+ discs at the time)

There are some good discs to be had from Holland (I think I have them all that are exclusive at this point) but the fixed rate shipping is not for the person looking to pick up one disc.. Also it does take a while for them to ship and fr the discs to actually get here. I find it usually takes about a month turn around on the group buys

That's very helpful! Thank you very much for taking the time to provide such a detailed order summary.

I played around with babelfish to translate the website into English but that was not a perfect solution. I'll have to check out translate.google.com.

I'd definitely be in for a group buy.

Same here, mostly for Tristan and Isolde (and the Island if it wasn't so darn expensive!)...

Hello, I don't know why orders have been cancelled-I received 13 discs from them, with no problem-strange. Either way, happy deal hunting!

Update:

My order of 13 discs has not been canceled. I received an email that six of the titles are on some sort of backorder, but they're still showing on the bol.com website so I'm hopeful they'll arrive eventually. My CC has not been charged yet and I think they're holding the whole order until they either have everything or they know what they for sure can't get.

The total for 13 titles came to € 119.22 with shipping. That works out to a little under $200, so figure roughly $15 per disc. Not bad at all for imports such as Underworld, Rescue Dawn, The Graduate, etc. I'll be very pleased if this works out.
