Was just about to place an order with Nehaflix for some DVDs I can't find anywhere else, and when I came to check out, the priority shipping to the UK came to $54!! Normal postal mail was $22...............I'm sure I've ordered from them before, and I'm sure the shipping costs weren't this outrageous - have they changed their shipping costs recently?!?

If you are in the USA then it works like this

for USA Standard Mail
Processing & Handling charges is $3.00 Per Order

Then is $1.00 per DVD

For Priority Mail
Processing & Handling charges is $5.00 per order

[b]Then $1 per DVD[/b]

for USA Over Night Mail
Processing & Handling charges is $24.00 per order
Then $2.00 per DVD

For UK/ EU
For Priority Mail
Processing & Handling charges is $38.00 per order

Then $2 per DVD


for UK/EU Standard Mail
Processing & Handling charges is $8.00 Per Order

Then $2 Per DVD

I dont think it has changed

Thanks for the copy and paste - I had looked at this before I posted. As I said in my original post, I've ordered from them before, and am pretty sure I didn't pay that much for shipping.

I think that they have changed - however when I order from them I use the standard shipping and handling and the goods are normally despatched on the same day. The only other option is looking at Amazon.com and seeing if their affliates have any of the DVDs that you want.

Cheers for the advice Muz - do Amazon's affiliates have rarer Bollywood DVDs as well? Never used them before.

Some of them do - but they are normally more expensive than Nehaflix. You can do a search on Amazon.com to see if the titles you require show up. I have ordered from both Amazon and Nehaflix - Nehaflix have been quicker for me (the same when I was in the UK).

Their shipping was pricey before - but it is really expensive now!

yeh, shipping prices went up because USPS raised their prices. It's almost double now, but if they use flat box than you can easily have 15-20 dvds for little low cost than that.

I found the shipping costs to be quite reasonable, paid $6.50 for 3 dvds using the cheaper shipping option and everything arrived in 4 days...even though the option indicated that average shipping time is 9 - 21 days! Very fast, speedy service!

Comparably, Indiaweekly took 3 weeks to ship my order!

Though their cost per dvd may be a bit more, I would highly recommend NehaFlix for the speedy delivery and quality of the merchandise.

Have you tried www.induna.com they are pretty good and ships from India via DHL which takes less than a week to the USA.UK might be subject to Customs

They make a fortune on shipping and handling.
because dvds are considered media mail--Costs less than 4.00 to mail 10 to 12 dvds anywhere in the USA and they charge 12 plus 3 = 15.00
