Need a favor from the UK folks

[Jesterrace]

I assume that SVP is still your most cost effective media seller over there. I would like to see if someone could tell me what the total cost with shipping is (in GBP) for the following:

8x Unbranded Taiyo Yuden DVD-R 100 pack
10 pack of 8x D/L DVD+R (3 of them as I can get them in 30 packs over here)

Thanks

[Jesterrace]

Not one single response? I’m surprised.

[G_Ivan_Awfulitch]

It might help if you said what brand of 8X D/L +R you’re wanting.

Whoops, forgot to put Verbatim in the description. :o

Goes without saying I’d have thought, hehe…unless you’re ordering 'em for someone you no longer want to be friends with.

Shipping to where? Do you have someone over here to send them on from their address? Not sure if they ship to the US, come to think of it.

[Jesterrace]

I thought that shipping was pretty standard to anywhere within the British Isles. I am asking because I am considering starting up my media export business again and need to price the competition. No way on earth I would buy any media from the UK, when we can get it so much cheaper here in the states. Anyways could you give me a quote from SVP on the media listed above to your address.

[Arachne]

I think it can vary depending on whether you’re mainland UK or Northern Ireland, Channel Islands or whatever

Anyway. It seems my login info is no longer valid, so that puts paid to that until I can sort it out - perhaps in the meantime someone else can help out?

[Jesterrace]

Okay, how about for simplicity we quote it for mainland UK. Out of curiosity Arachne where are you getting your media from these days?

Hi
How is this.

[Arachne]

Nice one Zeb

@Jester - I usually use APRmedia these days - my account for them should still be active if you want me to check their rates when I’ve woken up properly

Hi
Woken up!
It is nearly bed time … again

The above makes SVP appear P&P free…

Hi
I left out that aprmedia do not appear to stock TY x8 SL media.

[Arachne]

Cheers Zeb, I’ve been sick so only been on the Internet for like 0.3 seconds in the last couple of days

[Jesterrace]

Thanks for all your help folks. I need to crunch some numbers and then see if it is time to start media exporting again.

I don’t rate SVP at all these days really. Their range of discs is nothing compared to what it used to be and they aren’t ‘cheap’ now either.

Have to agree, exactly the reasons why I’ve let my account info lapse…

[Jesterrace]

Fine by me. I just need to know my competition.

Yup, you said that earlier …what I was curious about was…worldwide? Or just certain countries?

EDIT: Guess I need more coffee. From the OP I guess the UK is one place…
