No differences in the Australian Blu-ray, so no reason why the 4K would be any different.
Don't order them together. You'll get hit with 20% VAT and Royal Mail £8 handling fee.That’s great thanks guys. I can get this and Ant Man for £25 delivered so I’m going to order now I think.
Damn I’ve already ordered and paid via PayPal. I’ll try and cancel and reorder.Don't order them together. You'll get hit with 20% VAT and Royal Mail £8 handling fee.
I'd recommend ordering individually.
At the moment they are taking ages to actually post out stuff. I ordered Ant Man on Friday and it's still not shipped so I wouldn't worry about being able to catch it in time.Damn I’ve already ordered and paid via PayPal. I’ll try and cancel and reorder.
I've seen it mentioned previously that even if you do 2 separate orders, sometimes JBHiFi will still ship them together in one package. You'll probably need to order one first and let it dispatch, then order the 2nd one afterwards, just to make sure they are sent separately and you don't incur the extra charges.Don't order them together.

I’ll remember that when I come to reorder, thanks. I’ll wait for confirmation of my cancellation first.I've seen it mentioned previously that even if you do 2 separate orders, sometimes JBHiFi will still ship them together in one package.

Item has to be under £15 (excluding P&P).What’s the threshold for VAT and handling etc? How do I figure out if it’s worth it to buy together or individually?
Great thanks.Item has to be under £15 (excluding P&P).
If item is over £15 then you are charged on the total price (including P&P) and almost certainly the courier admin fee.
As Hippo above, You don't need to worry about anything below £15.What’s the threshold for VAT and handling etc? How do I figure out if it’s worth it to buy together or individually?
Jeez what a rip off. I wonder if this will apply to the EU after Brexit? Thanks for the info.As Hippo above, You don't need to worry about anything below £15.
£15-£135 you will get charged 20% VAT + a handling fee from your courier.
Anything over £135 (unlikely in the case of blu-rays admittedly) you have 10% Duty to be paid on the item+shipping cost then your 20% VAT is added on top before your courier twists the knife again.
The exchange rate used for these calculations is updated on a monthly basis by HMRC here and applies when the order reaches the UK. So if you order something in Jan and it arrives in March, its March's rate that applies.
Very probably as the UK will be outside the customs union. But on the plus side EU VAT will be able to be reclaimed AFAIK from amazon. So if ordering <£15 discs they will be cheaper without the 19% to 23% VAT that has been included up to now.Jeez what a rip off. I wonder if this will apply to the EU after Brexit? Thanks for the info.
Wounded. I’ll have to think on before ordering from Europe again.Very probably as the UK will be outside the customs union. But on the plus side EU VAT will be able to be reclaimed AFAIK from amazon. So if ordering <£15 discs they will be cheaper without the 19% to 23% VAT that has been included up to now.
Orders over £15 where the biggest savings were to be made like 3 or 4 for offers at amazon.it will be hit by the 20% UK VAT and £8 RM fee which the savings on Spanish/Italian etc VAT refunds wil not be enough to cover. So get those multiple disc orders in while you can...
Most likelyJeez what a rip off. I wonder if this will apply to the EU after Brexit? Thanks for the info.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you mate,Most likely
On the plus side, for larger purchases I think the 10% duty will no longer apply. As someone wanting to import a car from japan later this year I can only hope
Damn just as I ordered from JB Hi Fi. I decided to wait for these so cancelled my order as it hadn’t shipped yet.Zavvi have announced the steels (see steelbook section) for this and Ant-Man, release date end of March so got to assume regular versions won't be too far away. Of course everyone will have already imported them by then if they haven't already!
I wonder if it has anything to do with Brexit? Maybe by waiting they’re avoiding some tax or something?I got the German GOTG and Ant-man discs a couple of weeks ago. I said then that knowing my luck they would be both be announced for the UK the following week, I was only a week out.
End of March release? That's a full 6 months after north America and 4-6 months after the rest of western Europe. The Exec in charge of Disney's Home Entertainment release schedule still doesn't understand the UK market do they? Releasing them on disc less than a week after the launch of Disney+ seems a strange decision too.
At least they are coming out though, I was 75% certain they wouldn't be released in the UK at all.
It could get even worse. Anyone who really wanted these discs will have already imported them so now that they're finally being released in the UK sales will be lower, causing the studios to underestimate the demand!End of March release?
