I can't seem to find any information on delivery to the UK except they only deliver DVDs and not CDs to the UK.
Do playUSA deliver free to England?
Anyone used the site? I've never used the American version and if it's free delivery I would like to order some blu-rays off it.

They've not listed any preorder releases for several weeks and it's been reported they are winding down due to the drop in the market.
It's not surprising.
11 years ago when I started buying from Play in the days before they sold R2 dvd's , the lower prices , earlier release dates and uncensored films meant that virtually all my buying was of US product .
Since then those reasons for buying from the US have been greatly diminished .
Play have never been good at discounting old US releases so its easy to pick those up very cheaply from many other places .
The only 2 reasons to go for US product now are for titles that simply don't come out here or if there is a superior version .
Mainstream Hollywood product is rarely worth buying unless you want to pay quite a bit extra to get a title a couple of weeks early .
But yes- Playusa do ship to the UK except for music dvd's.
Beware of ordering anything over £17.99 as it is liable to a possible customs charge (you will be warned of this before completing the purchase).
Many years ago with the advent of region free DVD players, I used Playusa quite a bit, and they had good prices. Not any more.
£18 for The Karate Kid on Blu-ray from Playusa? No thanks.
Yes I know.
Playusa are/were quite good with prices but over the last couple of years with the poor exchange rate the prices for imported discs has gone through the roof compared to what they once were.
You would have been lucky to find a new release US disc cheaper than from Playusa but now it's usually cheaper to buy the UK release instead and with almost simultaneous releases there is little point in buying from the US for most titles.
Worth noting that Playusa actually sell Canadian discs anyway so sometimes you will receive a disc where the cover has dual languages on it.
Play.com are not as competitive as they once were but for new releases their prices are usually on par with Amazon , but catalogue titles have become a joke and if they persist Play.com themselves might end up down the tubes too.
