Could someone please tell where is a good place to buy Japanese DVDs online,
and also where is a good place to buy Hong Kong DVDs? Prefferably the
cheapest place that has all or most new releases, not just some of popular
ones. Cheers.

www.dddhouse.com has a lot of HK ones, and a few select Japanese ones.
Good prices, expensive shipping. The prices more than make up for it
though.

I DONT reccommend www.hkflix.com as they take forever to fill an order and
never reply to emails. I ordered a DVD on 9 October and haven't heard back
from them apart from an order confirmationn email. At least they haven't
charged my card.

If you do a search on groups.google.com you'll see similar posts.

You could try

www.CDJapan.co.jp

I'm not sure if they're the cheapest.. I'm thinking of ordering a $600
20 CD set from a Japanese store, and someone said they're reliable..

They also sell DVDs too.

I have found YesAsia (http://www.yesasia.com) to be quick and reliable.

Cheers,
sorry I just re-subscribed to aus.dvd before starting this thread and just
got a whole heap of posts now for some reason that didn't download to me
earlier even though I was still making posts, so I didn't get your post
before my last one at 1:00am (incase my last post sounds like I ignored
you).
But anyway,
thanks to everyone for the quick replies,
YesAsia looks pretty good to me - quick, reliable, & a wide range at cheap
prices.
thanks again.

Cheers - I had been considering them, so thanks for the warning. I'll stay
away I think.

No problem Tim. As a matter of fact, I just received another order from
them this afternoon (yeah, our postman comes rather late). Was shipped
by YesAsia the 21st. So 4 working days with free shipping (my order was
over a specific amount, which gives you free shipping), not bad at all
:-)
