For sure are Amazon UK.com and Sendit.com(Belfast). Eureka Video would and have free postage deals world-wide for their titles. Network who use Sony Distribution. Sony Distribution was razed to the ground after a break-in for videogames during the riots in London and Network is slowly getting going again after their stock were lost there and I did not get an order in in time I had planned. The trouble is that they charge 40 pounds air delivery for packages sent outside UK but like the others take VAT tax off(UK is now 20%). Thus that was the reason I had not placed the order as I was waiting to get enough titles for me and a friend to cover the excessive shipment costs over the units wanted. 

 

I have dealt with all the companies except Sony before and sometimes find Eureka a little slow but then they only service their own titles and many of these are the UK versions of titles available in other markets like USA. Amazon UK is my favorite but I started with Sendit(then called Blackstar) in 2001. I buy little currently as Amazon suits for delivery speed, free to my country postage at this time and good prices. 

 

By contrast it costs the earth to get packages shipped from Amazon.ca. Good luck. Oddly, you mention UK series, and I used to get many via Amazon US that were only released in Canada and years later in UK. I think the firm was BFsent or similar who issued these titles. But many do come out under license in USA thru Acorn Media, PBS etc. Some odd ones are only available in Holland(BBC Who Pays the Ferryman) & Amazon.de(Germany), How the West Was Won(TV series MGM/Warner Bros) from Norway/Denmark. And High Chapperal from Germany too(up to Series 2 now, I have the first two series). Many of these can be got from an importer in the New York area, DaveeDeeVee or similar who I have dealt with a few times. 

 

I forgot with Network that they have a lot of Exclusives that don't go to Amazon etc and must be got from them which is why I was using them. After the fire they were talking more Exclusives with a three month window and when stock gone then that is that. Don't like that idea at all. They also issue series that have not survived complete to this day.
