I want to buy from that sale but much of what they have wasn't showing and the pages for New Releases & Forthcoming came up blank. This company lost their stocks of most of their catalogue due to the riot fire at Sony DADC distribution warehouse in London but most planned items after event came out as the stocks were elsewhere. Many others used the fire to cull their catalogues but Network went a different route with items called 'Exclusives' coming out for a short time until stock exhaust which means no Amazon or whoever would get some titles and Amazon Marketplace get customers selling these titles at a high price and the added extra postage for going that route.
However, I had a good sized order to go when I had funds available the day before the fire and that was that & not all was for me. The UK40 pounds postage cost seems to be for any exported order that has to come from Sony DADC not Network themselves who forward orders to Sony, who you can also write to about the order or you could before the fire. But for export outside the EC the VAT of 20% inclusive in the price is removed.
I saw many titles I needed for me & a friend recently there having been reinstated since the fire but were not showing yesterday after I got the sale e-mail. I could save the postage with the discount and then some over. I have written to them and marked Urgent as there is a box for that. Let's hope they have then still and answer before Feb 2 their time. I don't want to miss again. Network do promise a lot of new stuff of interest to me in their e-mail and they issue all episodes complete with often ad caps. If episodes are missing or their is only part of an episode still existing in an early series they will include it for completeness and I think most collectors are happy with that. But I am against 'Exclusives' when there is so much postage to pay. Getting it elsewhere at the right price from the likes of Amazon in UK would be a better deal(Amazon have just finished their Free Delivery to certain countries like Australia, NZ, Fiji, SAfrica & India after nearly 12 months trial as they called. One had to spend UK25 pounds but that was easy to do and a falling exchange rate for the pound helps a lot currently with my country. We'll see if I can get value this time from them. I just need to hear from them positively in time.
