What Shipping Method Should I Use To Get My DVDs? Confused....?

Question

Someone is selling some DVDs, CDs, etc on eBay at a really good price... they are items I've been wanting for a while so I am quite determined to get them (I haven't bid for them yet).

They are from United States and I asked for the shipping price to Australia. He said it will be $42 USD with Priority Flat Rate cost.
I asked if it is possible to make it cheaper with slower shipping and he said, "We could do it First-Class, but the time for mailing services says "varies".... and the cost is still pretty high.... $34.00".

Are there any problems with choosing First-Class? Would that be okay to go for? Or is the $42 method a lot better?

Sorry, I don't know anything about shipping...

Thanks

Answer 1

I'd pay the extra $8 so I'd get them sometime in this lifetime.

A bigger issue - there are different formats of DVD's - be sure the US format will work in your Australian DVD player.
