Just thought I'd mention that I was at Walmart last night and they had the COMPLETE box set of the Street Figher Alpha TV(?) series on DVD for only $19.95! I was surprised to find a whole anime series for that cheap.

I hope things work out for you on the shipping delimma.

And that's why my Tower Records/Video/Book store that's 500 feet from me is closing...

I thought that was due to some crazed lunatic streaking through the store
yelling "Eternal Love!" on almost a daily basis.

Oh, I don't have time everyday to do that anymore... Just on the weekends.

Oh and anime is 30% off and prices will keep dropping until they close in about 7 weeks

If a buyer pays for each item separately through PayPal, the seller ships everything together in one box, and the buyer then files "item not received" complaints for each item with PayPal, the seller will lose all but one dispute by default, since they will only be able to provide proof of shipping (i.e., a delivery confirmation number) for one item.

Not that I would recommend filing fraudulent PayPal claims, but it is a risk for the gouging seller.

I dont mind gouging a seller that gouges his/her customers. You reap what you sew.

In terms of 'Shipping & Handling' I've actually had a seller who was adamant on charging me for the time it took him to go to the post office and post the item, as well as the bus fare to get there...which I found was completely unreasonable considering he sold hundreds of items each day.

The term P&P (postage and packaging) is the term which covers...postage and packaging funnily enough...over here we don't get any packaging material for free. Still I've never charged for packaging because I always recycle posting material, in fact even if I have to buy it, I don't charge...just doesn't seem right, but I guess it is justifiable.

Glad to hear he knocked some off, even though it still is pretty expensive. But I guess that’s the kind of thing you mention when giving feedback.

So which DVDs did you buy? I’m intrigued now, as everyone knows how disturbing Asian Horror can be!
