There are taxes, think 15%, it might have gone up, for international packages marked 'merchandise' valued $200++. I don't think eg. Rightstuf, DDD etc would mark the dvds as gift.
Anime is getting popular. There is so much pirated dvd9 rips of R1 anime movies cost USD$1-2. HKDVD cost USD$10 per dvd,so the obvious preference for HKDVDs. Censorship is another big problem. I mean 'Platoon' is banned here 'cause of the ganja scenes. This has recently been relaxed, allowing more titles to be available.For info. sake, Where's a good place to get R1 dvds?
You are suffering from analitis. Please do not adjust your screen. This condition occurs when the nerves leading to your eyes and anus short circuit and are then fused together. Thus giving one a shitty outlook in life.
