Blank DVD's
Blank DVD's
Any ideas where I can buy a cake of blank DVD's like so:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Verbatim-43549- ... 742&sr=8-2
For a reasonable price (either in Finland or that delivers here).
The prices here are a joke (as usual) and none of the UK sites seem to deliver here.
I can get them delivered from the US it seems but the postage then makes it not worthwhile.

Or at least that’s what most people used to use a few years ago. I haven’t been keeping up with the current situation.

I also / still do buy all dvd's from nierle.de - decent enough price with delivery here.

Check verkkokauppa.com pages (shipping directly from Estonia to avoid the blank media tax)

Re: Blank DVD's
There's an extra media tax on them (http://www.teosto.fi/en/index_en.html). Same goes for blank CDsirnbru wrote: The prices here are a joke (as usual) and none of the UK sites seem to deliver here.
I once ordered some cheapo DVDs from nierle - never managed to get them to work. Though they did include some free brandtwein with the order. After that I've used verkkokauppa, which sends from Estonia, which probably makes the postage cheaper that from germany.
(Incidentally, I notice that verkkokauppa will now sell you stuff that's sent from Ahvenanmaa (Åland) to skip some other taxes)

Re: Blank DVD's
have you tried ebay? we used to get them from there in england and some will still deliver to here you might just have to ask if they dont say already. Postage might be lots though
Re: Blank DVD's
As you said, postage will easily kill the benefit. Organisations like Nierle tend to be much cheaper due to lower or absent postage and lower taxes.
(which is why I have started ordering my books from bookdepository after seeing someone mention it in this forum)

I order my Verbatim DVD+R DL from ebay.de... I have not found any cheaper place that from there. Once you add the shipping costs and all that together. I buy 30 at a time and the end cost including shipping comes to be about 1.90€ per DVD.

You're math is slightly off but it's still cheaper than my source...Mook wrote:http://www.verkkokauppa.com/popups/prod ... p?id=29412jas_rho wrote:I order my Verbatim DVD+R DL from ebay.de...

69.60 / 50 = 1.392 Euros a disk (went mailed)
62.90 / 50 = 1.258 Euros a disk (when picked up)
But anyway, it's been so long since I compared prices to verkkokauppa and when I did, my source was cheaper. 30 dvds has lasted me quite a long time... I still have some actually. If I order 50 I think I have to split it with a buddy. The only bad thing from the spindle that you showed me is "Saatavuus: arvio: 2-4 vkoa"
My experience when ordering from verkkokauppa when they have that availability estimate is bad. The item never really came and I ended up canceling my order and getting it from somewhere else.
But thanks for the heads up, next time I order I'll try these guys if I can get a buddy to order with me. 50 dvds would last me a couple years I think

Re: Blank DVD's
As said, the "media tax" on blanks + VAT makes Finnish prices high.

Whats the point if people like me just buy them from abroad? (like I just did thanks) then they are making sweet FA.Pursuivant wrote:As said, the "media tax" on blanks + VAT makes Finnish prices high.
The Finnish economy is screwed if they don't start competing. I would love to buy everything from here but the prices just make it impossible.
Re: Blank DVD's
It's rare you can actually buy anything from Verkkokauppa, I gave up long ago.jas_rho wrote:"Saatavuus: arvio: 2-4 vkoa"
