I decided to buy The Day Of The Triffids Blu-ray, before it went OOP. It's a definite upgrade from the DVD and I'm glad I bought it. Even more of an upgrade is the Edge Of Darkness Blu-ray although it has the advantage of being from a newer all 16mm source, highly recommended.

For those that are curious, the BBC 2008 The Day Of The Triffids two episode series is available to stream free from Tubi, enjoy!

I received the Day Of The Triffids PAL DVD from Ebay and the picture quality is good enough not to detract enjoyment of this excellent TV series. Interestingly, my Seiki all region player was set to 2K, upscaling to 4K gave a small but useful improvement on my LG OLED TV. When or if...

David, have you tried asking a relative in another state to check charges? I've reported high UK to US shipping costs to Amazon three times. During my recent chats I've asked them to escalate the issue, which they did and I have emails as proof and; asked if my account is flagged for higher...

Thanks, everyone. This has become too complicated and too risky for me. In the meantime, I've ordered the Day Of The Triffids PAL DVD via Ebay ($10+ inc shipping) that will tide me over until things return to normal and I can order the Blu-ray. I've just received an order from Go Peachy in...

I chatted with Amazon, they offered to refund the shipping charges, after the order is received by me, that sounds dodgy. Could the reason for the shipping cost difference be, that I'm being assessed estimated US customs import charges and others are not? I tried my wife's Amazon UK account...

Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm trying to order plain Blu-rays/DVDs, sent to a residential single family address. These higher shipping rates have existed since late March. One of the four was from a marketplace seller (my bad), when I deleted it, the shipping fell to 22pounds on a 30pound...

Thanks, I've just price checked Amazon UK vs Rarewaves for four items (plus shipping) and they are within a couple of dollars of one another. Amazon shipping and price guarantee was a whopping $26+ on a $42 order! We've had it good at Amazon UK for many years, pity it had to end. In early...

I've always used Amazon UK but are there any other reliable international media retailers that subtract VAT and offer lower shipping costs?

I put together an Amazon UK order for five regular Blu-rays a couple months ago and again a couple of weeks ago and the shipping charges were 28 pounds, half the order cost, so I didn't order, is that the new normal? In the past it would have certainly been <10 pounds.

I just chatted with Amazon UK asking them to send out an email when shipping costs to US return to normal. I received a confirmation email from the agent promising to escalate the issue. I suggest you and your friends do the same for Prime benefits, make sure you get confirmation, they may...

Thanks for the Roobarb link, that site did not appear in any of my searches. It's a pity the best video restoration team was not used for this project, I assume the best team was busy on another project. I doubt it will ever be re-released on Blu-ray in better condition. I know nothing about...

I'm glad this generated so much interest and thanks for your replies. I will wait for a positive review of picture quality before buying. Amazon shipping rates are horrendous at the moment, that is stopping me from placing an order for this and others. If the Blu-ray (15pounds) gets negative...

I watched the original BBC broadcast and streamed in SD from Amazon Prime (since deleted) a couple of years ago. Has anyone bought this new UK Blu-ray release and can comment on picture quality? The are a mix of positive and negative reviews at Amazon UK. I assume because the video footage has...
