ARROW VIDEO "Easter Carnage Sale" through ? April 13, 2021 (1 Viewer)

[David Norman]

For those that wait for these big ArrowUK Sales to load up of cheaper title -- it's started a bit early. Presumed end date is around April 13

Starting as low as £5 and including over 500 Blurays. Many of these titles are released in the US and UK, but usually are significantly cheaper from UK than
most US sales.

ArrowUK EASTER CARNAGE SALE 3/30 - 4/13

Caveats -- a lot of ArrowUK titles are Region A friendly, but only around half. Arrow lists region status in their descriptions, but it's only fairly accurate (if it says A+B you're probably safe), but many items they list REGION B are either Region Free or at least Region A+B

GoogleDoc Summary of ARROW UK known Region Compatibility
This is a pretty good start on know status mostly pulled from Bluray.com database.
Page 1 by Region Status (A friendly at the top -- possible in the middle -- B Locked at the bottom)
Page 2 -- item by release date
Page 3 - titles alphabetically

Shipping was increased a couple years ago so small order are quite expensive relatively and increase by weight rather than titles
Ballpark shipping costs to the US

Arrow shipping is based on weight, not items so it you have 2 disc sets or boxsets the numbers will change.
A single disc, basic Item seems to run around 100gm

Royal International Tracked -- not sure of the turnaround speed for this service.
up to 300gm 1-3 titles £8.
up to 500gm 4-5 £10.
up to 1000gm 6-10 items £12
up to 1500 11-15 £15
up to 2000 16-20 £18

US TNT Tracked -- this used to be DHL Express at 2-3 days so an extra benefit. Not sure of TNT speed, but they seem to be FedEx which I've had some Priority packages from them show up is 3-4 days too
2-5kg £25 21-50 items


Grindhouse Video is one of the retailers that sell ARROW US disc and is having a simultaneous sale.
SHipping is flat rate $5 or $10 depending on your order.
They have approx 200 items on sale including several that are US Exclusive and a couple that are sold out or not on sale in the UK
A bit of a warning -- this is essentially a one many shop and he only has a handful of disc on hand. As I understand, he orders discs from his ARROW Supplier as needed then ships them which the order in complete. This means it can take a while to get your order. I think he only accepts PAYPAL for payment though I could be wrong.

At looks as though they accept Venmo as well.

Could be. I don't do VENMO so didn't cross my eyeballs, but it appears you can't do a std Credit Card/Debit type purchase.
I guess I also tend to lump Venmo, Paypal, etc into the same bucket of payment style

It's what the kids are using

Venmo - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

It seems to come up a lot in TV court show cases as the payment the young uns use to the point that it 's now a verb: "I Venmoed her $50.00 to have her do my hair and then she ghosted me when it came time to make an appointment."

Honestly my kids do use it and I get offers on a couple my banks to set it up, but no reason to mess with it.

One online PP type is enough. Venmo, ApplePay, GooglePay, SamsungPay, UGonnaPay, OrElsePay all are just another BurgerKing ad to my brain - in the left, out the right and no stopping in the middle

Kind of like Debit Cards -- I just don't get the appeal and would never use one though I do know they exist.
Why take the best of CC, actually throw it away, keep the worst of the CC, increase the risk to your bank acct and then sell it as a product. I'd just as soon write a check in a 30 deep line at the Grocery Store (then forget to use my coupons and ask if they can re-ring the basket) the day before an oncoming Cat 5 Hurricane than use a Debit Card -- can't you just see the Monty Python routine writing itself ("crackle, crackle -- Manager to Checkout 5, Manager to Checkout 5 for an override -- skkkksts!")

ArrowUK has announced an extension of their sale until April 19 (probably around Noon BST).

Grindhouse has said they don't plan to extend and have literally been overwhelmed with orders and their store is overflowing.

I haven't read anything about Zavvi planning to extend, but it isn't uncommon for them to follow the Parent Company Sale

Just for those who haven't read the news -- Zavvi's parent company (The Hut) has apparently contracted to buy majority ownership in Arrow from the family who has run it for decades.
