Same here, DVDPacific delivery is often 3-4 weeks plus. I like their
selection & prices well enough & now that I know they're a tad slower, I'm
happy to adjust my expectations.

I vaguely suspect DVDPacific might be saving postage costs by using one
of those bulk re-mailing services, where a whack of parcels accumulate
then get shipped en-masse via a third party.
I admit I only say this because standard transatlantic delivery is
definitely
much faster than Pacific's lengthy shipping period. (Witness caiman
for example)

Ditto...and often Play work out as good value once you take free
shipping & speedy supply into account.
