    depends on what type of thing are are looking for? and who for?

    Derry has new additions to the Foyle shopping centre - debenhams and a *new* Virgin megastore (they closed the small store).. and i think there is a sale on in debenhams at the minute.

    Or you could just go to play and get each of the first 6 series for only £18 - which is effectively £3 per DVD. Even series 7,8 & 9 are excellently priced at just approx £6 per DVD when you get each of them for £32 per series.

    Smart companies set up in Jersey, where everybody knows your name, and there is no tax on imports or exports, or corportation tax i believe.

    I'm not really understanding that post. Are you saying smart companies as in another company or is this reference to play.com?

    Either way, if you post through play.ie or something like that, any website local to yourself, then you shouldn't have to pay any stamp duties, as effectively it is going through the company you oredred from (UK or ireland) and not directly to yourself from america or whatever. If they do charge you for customer etc on top of what the website advertises, then that is false advertising and you don't have to pay - you can send it back and claim the duty you were charged.

    So as I said, I don't know what you're saying here, but ordering from play.com is cheap, easy, quick (quick enough) and i've never had any problems.
