Friday the 13th: The Complete Collection [USA]
- Thread starter cooey
- Start date
I ordered 1 off of amazon, and if you select the 2nd fastest shipping method amazon provide a customs charge estimate which they charge you on dispatch and if the actual customs value is more, they pay the difference, but if it is less, they refund you the difference.
I think including shipping to the UK and customs fees it was around $120 which is about £78...
Hear is a breakdown of the costs from my orders page:
That price seems ok considering the amount of content, 12 films plus the extras isn't too bad at just under £80 shipped!
Standard shipping is no different to the one i chose, the only difference is that your package will get delayed at customs and you will have to pay the customes values for them to be able to release it...
Either way is good, but for a $3 difference in price between the two shipping methods, it is just a little less trouble if you ask me
These aren't region free are they?
Warner Bros are always region free, and i'm pretty sure Paramount are as well but i can't confirm about Paramount... these are Paramount and Warner so i would guess they are region free but i'm not certain
Not sure about the DVD tho

They should be, it's being released by Warner Brothers!
Well, this isn't a limited release or nothing is it? Cause then I'll just wait to see what the ninjas say when they receive the set.Warner Bros are always region free, and i'm pretty sure Paramount are as well but i can't confirm about Paramount... these are Paramount and Warner so i would guess they are region free but i'm not certain

I'm currently on a Friday The 13th marathon (1 movie each day so far) and when I'm done I'll consider if I even want this set or not. I love Jason as a character a lot though, I just don't think there's been a film yet that really shows him justice.

Yeh, the Friday 13th brand is considered priceless, but the films...?
IMO the first one is great, but then they just get worse and worse as they go on, but i'm going to have to buy them just because of how important it is as a franchise to the genre (i'm a little weird like that
)...I can't see this being a limited release, WB and Paramount both know how long fans have been waiting for this set and won't pass off an opportunity to milk as much money out of them as they possibly can, by limiting it they are just limiting their profit margin as well. I think we can expect to see this worldwide, or another similar one with the same contents just maybe not in a tin or with different art etc.
The strange thing is, when i was watching them all, i was compelled to watch the next on, and the next one etc. even though they were imo getting worse
Yeah there's something about them which is quite fascinating, even though they are campy, cheasy and generally plain bad.Yeh, the Friday 13th brand is considered priceless, but the films...?

hahaI actually thought the first one was surprisingly bad. Not awful, but no way near other Part One's of other horror franchises (Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Scream etc.)

The standard shipping was $6.49. The next shipping was $9.98 plus an additional $20.10 to cover the custom fees.
I've never used the method where you pay the customs fees, so this will be my first time. Like you say it'll save money and hassle I guess in the long run
I don't know why i've always liked Jason Takes Manhattan
The one with Teleporting Jason:eek:

No, it's the one where he joined Metallica.
Yeh, neither are bad methods, its just you can either pay the $20.10 customs fees when the item is dispatched along with the order total etc. and then your item will pass customs with no dalays, or you could choose the $6.49 shipping method and then pay customs fees when it gets stopped at customs... In short, the $9.98 shipping method is costing an extra $3.49 to stop customs delays...
Anyway, hope you get it either way, i think this is not one to miss
but if you tick the hide my prices you dont get charged customs and if by some horrible fate you do just email amazon.com and they will refund you the cost of customs
