I must say I'm mystified by the length of time your orders are taking, once
they've been despatched.... I'm in Inner London, and the only DVDPacific
orders that I can remember taking longer than a week or so have been the few
that've exceeded the �18 limit for VAT - then they've hung around Mount
Pleasant for a while. I've also ordered some from caiman (Amazon seller
also based in Florida) and they've been equally quick.
