I just paid for the 2nd and 3rd Dragon Box on Amazon. I could not afford wasting the chance of purchasing two DBoxes with shipping for the price of one.

$80.45, expected to arrive at the 3rd of August.

Wow.... If you live in the US you could have gotten the 2nd and 3rd Dragon Boxes for $22.99 Each, So the 2nd and 3rd Dragon box together would cost $45.89 = $46.00.

Unfortunately, due to not living in the US, I could not get the Super Free Shipping they were offering.

The boxes were $52.48 total, and the shipping was $27.97.

Woah! $27.97 for shipping? Wow, I'm lucky I live in the US; the shipping here would be about $3 - $5.

Damn that sucks, but at least you will have all three DBoxes by August.... I on the other hand plan on getting DBox 1 and 3..... I made the mistake of buying DBox 2 at FYE this month.... Grrrr, full retail. But hey, better than the original retail price of 80.00.....

Wow. Where were you shipping to? I ship to the UK and shipping was only about $8-10 when I ordered my Dragonboxes, though I ordered separately so I didn't have to pay import tax, etc.
Next to get; Leged of Saiyan figures and Freeza's force

If anyone has a cooler steelbook dvd that wants to sell it (prefer new but used is fine) when/if the dragon box movies comes out contact me :)

How much did you pay altogether when you bought the Dragon Box from Amazon? I want to order from them, but I don't want any custom charges. :lol:

Including shipping £24. something under 50p, but that was when they were $26.99 shipping was just over £4.50 don't know what it was in $. But the exchange rate on xe.com was in the 1.4s now it's in the 1.51 so they're even cheaper Now Dragon Box 3 works out under £22 including S&H and under £18 without S&H which is the limit so you have no chance of bieng hit by customs as long as you go with the longest shipping option. Took about 3 weeks for mine to arrive. Just order them all seperately.

I don't know why I always order then a few weeks later it's always cheaper, I order then they shoot back up to $50 and I'm like "Yes got in there while it was good" Then they drop & the exchange rate changes, now I'm like "Shoulda waited" That's why I'm reluctant to get my final 3 double features :(

Paradox the £18 doesn't include shipping it's your limit on the actual spend although when I've been slightly over they haven't charged.
Sshadow if it's not to late cancel and import using amazon.com the sellers on .co.uk still ship from the USA so it will still take the same amount of time just saves you £3 odd.

Sorry for the double post but Paradox shipping options also help, if you choose a quicker shipping option they're more likely to open your package, if you choose expedited then £30 odd packages can get through.

There's an "EDIT" button on the bottom right of your posts next to "QUOTE." Just edit your posts in the future and you won't have to worry about double-posting. :D

Awesome! So, how long would I have to wait for a package from Amazon.com? The same time as .co.uk?
