Most of the Warner archive titles are now available on the TCM website but the shipping costs are still really expensive.

Please excuse this intrusion Mister Crawford but you have to admit that they have no respect for the international customers as they delivered the following statment a few weeks ago : There will be a availability of product WORLDWIDE shortly through the Warner Archive Collection. SHORTLY. We...
I already posted their answer in this discussion:
Hi Daniel,
We're very sorry, but the Warner Archives DVDs and digital downloads are only available within the U.S. at this time due to legal licensing and distribution restrictions on these titles. We apologize to our international fans for...
The program is now completely inaccessible to those overseas because the Warner Archives DVDs are only available within the U.S since last Friday.
Are there any reasons or comments from Warner Bros ?
All the Warner Archives DVD's were only available worldwide last week.
And there are no...
Here is the answer I got from the WBshop.com customer service today :

As an international customer (I live in Europe), I tried to complete my order this morning and the message I get from the WB archive site is : The following items in your cart cannot be shipped or purchased internationally although the 4 titles were available worldwide a few days ago.
But please do not forget the answer of Warner Bros about the worldwide availability of the Warner Archive Collection :
1). There will be a availability of product WORLDWIDE shortly through the Warner Archive Collection. SHORTLY. We just don't have a date yet...it could be only a few days...
Another vote too for a second Esther Williams set as long as it includes a remastered version of "Milllion Dollar Mermaid". I hope Fox will also release a second Betty Grable set. Also a new "Classic musicals from the Dream Factory" (vol. 4) including "Lovely to look at" and "Yolanda & the...
Thank you for this great review but I think I will wait until the blu-ray disc is available. Come on Paramount, it's about time to give us such classics as "Funny Face", "The Ten Commandments" and a decent copy of "White Christmas" (and many others) on blu-ray, thank you.
Does the german blu-ray includes French audio and French subtitles ? This title along with "An American in Paris" and "Gigi" will be available on 26th november 2008 in France. Daniel.
According to Digital Bits: Paramount has also set 'Paramount Centennial Collection' DVD re-issues of Sabrina (1954), Sunset Boulevard and Roman Holiday for release on 11/11. We're not sure yet if any new extras will be included, but we'll let you know as soon as we can find out.
Hello, Although it is not a favourite of mine, I would like to know if the musical "The girl can't help it" includes a real stereo track or a fake one. I heard a few years ago that the stereophonic track was lost, so I am not sure it is included in the DVD released in 2006. Thank you...
Don't worry about the color quality of "Something for the boys", "Greenwich Village" and especially "The Gang's All Here". 20th Century Fox gave a first class treatment on these wonderful musicals. The isolated score on "If I'm lucky" and "Doll Face" was a wonderful surprise, it seems that the...
Not a word yet about Vincente Minnelli's Yolanda and the thief coming to DVD, maybe next year in "the classic musicals from the dream factory", volume 4, who knows ? I also hope they will release in the same box set "Lovely to look at", a favourite of mine as it includes great songs and the...
Another masterpiece from Warner Bros: The early years dvd's do not even include a chapters menu selection. One thing is sure, this is the last box set I buy from them, I am really really disappointed, I can't forget the poor picture's quality of "the Pirate" last year, the "Browncolor" not...
Let's not forget the Marge & Gower Champion musicals. They supported spots in "Show Boat" and "Lovely to look at" but they also did "Give a girl a break" and "Everything I have is yours". A brilliant married dance team during the fifties and I think their films were enjoyable entertainment.
I only hope Fox will release some good Miss Grable's musicals this time, "My Blue Heaven" was a terrible one; I would like to see the following titles in the volume 2 : "Springtime in the Rockies", "Coney Island", "Sweet Rosie O'Grady", "Diamond Horseshoe" and "Mother Wore Tights" (maybe "Call...
I agree with you Mister Harris, this box set is a must for any musical lovers, Warner Bros did a great job this time. I am already waiting for the volume 4 and maybe an Esther Williams, volume 2 including "Million Dollar Mermaid".
It seems that a special edition of An American in Paris will be available this year on DVD and blu-ray. Another great MGM musical, "Gigi" will see the light of the day also on both systems.
"Five Graves to Cairo" is already available in France along with "The Major and the Minor" in a stunning video transfer. English and french audio tracks with optional subtitles are available.
I really hope they will include "The best things in life are free" in their next wave of musicals. I enjoyed "With a Song in my heart" very much but I was disappointed that Fox didn't include the isolated musical score as promised.
