Whey-hey...glad you were successful...mine was also refunded onto a gift card...I thought it was because I'd used their offer of a "free" $10 promotional credit with any purchase of gift cards of $50 or more...hence bought a $50 email gift card...emailed it to myself then applied it to my account...got the free $10 then used it and the gift card towards my order.

I'm going to post the following taken from Amazon.com but will apologise in advance as it is rather lengthy but hopefully it will go some way towards answering your question....not 100% sure on the "minimum" spend side of things as quite often it tends to be a case of wait and see when ordering from the US but Amazon takes the fees off you in advance so you can't avoid paying the Import Fees...

Following is taken from Amazon.com:

Those items for shipment to countries outside of the U.S. may be subject to taxes, customs duties and fees levied by the destination country ("Import Fees"). The recipient of the shipment is the importer of record in the destination country and is responsible for all Import Fees.

With respect to each item for which Import Fees have been calculated, you authorize Amazon Export or Merchant (as applicable) to designate a carrier ("Designated Carrier") to act as your agent with the relevant customs and tax authorities in the destination country, to clear your merchandise, process and remit your actual Import Fees for such item.

"Import Fees Deposit" represents an estimate of the Import Fees that will be levied on the items in your order for shipment to countries outside of the U.S. By placing your order, you agree to allow Amazon Export and/or Merchant (as applicable) to collect the Import Fees Deposit for the applicable items in your order. This deposit will be used, on your behalf, to reimburse the Designated Carriers for the import fees that they have paid on your behalf to the appropriate authorities of the destination country.

You further agree that the Designated Carriers may disclose to Amazon Export or Merchant (as applicable) the amount of actual Import Fees levied on the item you have purchased from Amazon Export and/or Merchant ("Actual Import Fees"). In the event that the Import Fees Deposit exceeds the Actual Import Fees, Amazon Export or Merchant (as applicable) will refund the difference to you.

In the case of gifts or other purchases made on behalf of another recipient, you also agree to grant the foregoing authorizations on behalf of the recipient designated in your order.

To obtain details regarding the Actual Import Fees, or to obtain documentation or receipts in connection with customs clearance, you may contact the Designated Carrier specified in your shipment confirmation.

These terms and conditions are in addition to the standard Conditions of Use of the Amazon website. Pursuant to those terms, title and risk of loss for the items transfer to the recipient upon delivery to the common carrier in the United States.

Please note that Merchants participating in the International Direct program may have policies that differ from Amazon Export's terms and conditions. For items you have purchased from a Merchant, please see the applicable Merchant's policies for any other terms and conditions that may apply to your purchase of such items.

Yup some of the "old" boxsets are at a good price...I must admit I bought 3 different sets...didn't post the 3rd set I bought as although it was a good price and it is a present for someone who specifically requested it I knew if I posted it the thread would end up descending into vitriolic comments and well tbh life's too short and I really couldn't be bothered to have to "justify" or "defend" a DVD purchase....

You are most welcome :innocent:

Don't know if it's any help but I paid using a Visa Debit card & they also accept the mastercard "debit" card...I don't have any credit cards and have had no problems paying with my debit cards.

Can get a French import of it but think it is quite pricey...will put link below so you can take a peek and possibly look out for it dropping price in the future...

You might be able to unlock it so it's multi-region by Googling the model number. :smiley:

​Is dvd regions still an issue in 2015?

This is the new Mill Creek version with the original Love and Marriage by Frank Sinatra theme tune :wink:

​I thought he would have change from newspaper to a tablet by now..!? :wink:

Don't think so as the PS4 DVD/Blu-Ray player isn't multi-region AFAIK so if it was bought in the UK it should only play Region 2 DVDs/Blu-Rays...I have a multi-region standalone DVD player.

My Dad used to record it for me and my sister to watch (much to my mum's disgust) as it was on past our bedtimes...lol...

Mmmm my favourite episode ever was the one where they couldn't work out what a particular light switch actually turned on and off and ended up destroying the house to try and find out...comedy at its best really.

You are most very welcome....even better apparently the original theme music has been restored on this release :wink:

Sadly I bought the complete set a few years ago and it's just not quite the same without old blue eyes singing the theme tune :disappointed:

Have bought this version of the set for my Dad for Christmas so will keep my paws crossed it arrives before then.

yeah

Must admit thanks to my Dad it is one of my guilty little pleasures....Go Bundy!!!
