Buying from Outside the EU with PLAY

The modern history of Europe leaves some small islands off the coast of France as members of the UK, but not members of the EU. The major islands being Jersey and Guernsey.

These have been used for years as financial offshore havens, but thanks to the power of the internet some enterprising companies such as Play and BlahDVD (and now you can even add Tesco and Amazon Jersey to this list) have based themselves there to sell their wares online.

The major reason being that there are no sales taxes on these islands.

Sounds great that we can buy from these places, and indeed it is. The only catch being a limit of £15 or 22 euros. Denmark also tries to push that limit down to 80 krone for CDs, but I've yet to see the evidence.

The other great thing is that both of these stores do FREE POSTAGE to anywhere in the EU.

Play especially is highly recommended since in addition to CDs and DVDs, they have a huge range of ENGLISH BOOKS.

But the key tip is, if you can, keep the limit per order below the £15/22euros mark. Even if you end placing multiple orders per day!

Check out Play and BlahDVD today.
