Amazon UK Boxing Day (Week) Lightning Deals for Sunday 12/28 (1 Viewer)

Sunday LD are showing up and again some nice repeat popular selections from BF . Amazon UK continues to kick the living daylights out of Amazon US as far as movie deals this holiday season. They've actually had deals since Friday, but I neglected to check many of them out before they were already in place. In general the prices seem pretty similar to the BF deals

I;ve tried to double check region free status and my start times, but double check me and correct something if I messed it up

Quick Payment primer for those who haven't used UK site:

1) You can use your regular Amazon account and all the information should be shared

2) You can't use Amazon US Gift Card or Amazon Credits on the UK site3) You can check out in GBP or USD, but it you allow Amazon to convert to USD for you they will use a padded exchange rate compared toletting your bank do it for you. The built in surcharge is usually around 4% compared to most US Credit Cards that will bump you 1 to 3% in Foreign Exchange Fee (Forex), If you have a CC that doesn't charge Forex fees then that it's significantly cheaper if you check out in GBP -- all Capital One cards are free, many Chase and Amex premium (annual fee) cards are as well, Discover is Forex free but Amazon doesn't accept. If can't see the option for GBP or USD then you likely need to change the setting for Amazon Currency Converter in the account settings.4) I don't know if UK will bundle items into a single package if you buy them all the same day like Amazon usually does. If they do, then that may save you shipping and make it even cheaper. Std UK shipping to US is around $5 for the first item and $1.60 for each added.Recently they have gone back to using Royal Mail for most shipping which has no tracking, but normal delivery time is around 5-10 business days. In the past, holiday traffic has been slower

5) Amazon Prime is only for domestic UK shipping so it won't be Free Shipping to the US

6) Unlike regular UK buys, for Lightning Deals the VAT is removed before they discount Deal price so you won;t get the extra saving, but the overall prices here are general about as good as or better than any previous prices at least on the items I've checked IF the VAT stills bothers you, you could try to chat/email them and see if they will remove the VAT after the fact since it is calculated differently. Some people say they've had some luck, others not so much.

Not sure there's anything I want, but thanks for the info, David.
