@BuffaloBill :
Recently I ordered the first 2 DVD's from Pebber and they were shipped internationally (to Belgium, Europe), so that answers one of your questions.
The reason I ordered these 2 DVD's in 2 separate orders is customs-regulation : over here some scheme exists which states that under a certain "estimated" value, no VAT is to be payed by the receiver (=me) and no custom taxes are to be payed by the receiver. As from a certain value, VAT is to be paid but not yet custom taxes, and from still another (higher) value we also have to pay custom taxes.
(These can become really substantial compared with the actual price of the goods you're buying)
Worst thing is that it's usually unpredictable... Sometimes I think it even might depend on whether it looks like a real "package" or whether it's just a big brown enveloppe.
That is the main reason why I would SO MUCH PREFER a downloadable instance, to avoid this whole customs-hassle !
By the way, I didn't have any problem with the region codes of the DVD's (but to be honest, I've only used them on my laptop until now, not an a stand-alone DVD player)
