Fandom shopping question

[cheesycats]

Has anyone on my FList in the U.S. (or anywhere outside of the U.K.) ordered from Forbidden Planet International? Good experience? Bad? How are their overseas shipping fees? They don't list them on the site but say that they give them to you just before your item(s) ship. Are they reasonable?

I've used them.

From what I recall, they were okay enough and I didn't balk at the shipping fees or anything. (But then, Norway's not that far to ship from the UK.)

Thanks, that's good to know. Their prices are pretty reasonable and even better than what I've found on ebay for some things, but I was worried that the shipping prices would bite me in the ass. :P

If you're after something fairly reasonably priced, from the UK, I can look around and see if I can get it cheaper, buy it and then send it to you, in exchange for some cash? [I dunno, Forbidden Planet always seem to be quite expensve, but then sometimes you can only buy what you want from there, stupid niche market etc] ...Or I could order it and send it to you, if the shipping is extravagant (as it sometimes is! I get Glim to buy and send me DVDs from Americaland quite often for from there to here? Is expensive mostly!)
