Flat shipping rate may be a good idea if you order more than a few dvds, but I would be very surprised indeed if the average buyer here ordered anywhere remotely close to 100, Mathew Malay. The only way this is a deal is if you do buy about three or four dvds at one time. And the only way that is a deal is if you're buying it from an independent dealer like this one. Even from sellers who market their product on used stores like eBay and Amazon, one generally only pays a few bucks for shipping. Actually, the Inuyasha Perfect Collection Vol. 2 which some of us were discussing in another thread, was listed on eBay with free shipping. (Of course, this seller also charged $10 more than I'm expecting it to sell here, but regardless.)
Maybe some might charge lower shipping rates for one DVD title on eBay and other places. However, it's almost a guarantee that the prices they charge for the titles themselves are higher than the ones you pay here. You either pay MORE for the titles or MORE for shipping. Either way, you pay MORE.
I am sure most would agree with me that when we purchase anime DVDs, we almost always purchase more than one title. For most ppl here, I am sure it averages around 3-4 titles per order. If you are only looking to purchase one title at a time, then perhaps this is not the best place for you. For the rest of us, however, IA is just perfect!
Cheers!
