Tips on buying original dvds on Amazon from Nigeria

Ever had a problem with your VCD plate such that it scratches or the picture quality depreciates over a small period of time? Well that's why DVDs are better than VCDs - They hardly get scratched and picture quality remains fairly the same.

DVDs are quite different from VCDs or the sub-standard DVDs that are mostly available in the Nigerian market. I don't think Nigeria for now produces original DVDs and those stores that do have them actually import them from countries like the USA or UK. Another issue is that even the few original DVDs available in Nigeria are not really for new movies and some of them are even used DVDs and yet being sold at high prices.

For the latest movies too, they are not readily available in Nigeria except for pirated copies. Why not get the original DVDs when you want it and the specific ones you want too? This could probably save you the money you spend on watching the same movies over and over again at the cinemas.

If you are interested in getting a wide range of videos on DVD, one of the coolest places to get it is from the Amazon.com online store. It is practically the largest online retail store in the world and has it's headquarters in the USA.

The price of original DVDs in Nigeria range from N500 to N1500 depending on how old or new the content is or whether it is used or brand new.

If you want to buy DVDs directly from the Amazon US store, you can choose what kind of movies to buy and what price range you are interested in. You should know that most new movies tend to cost as much as $10 while the old ones tend to go for under $5.

One of the things that add to the cost of getting an original DVDs to Nigeria is the shipping cost and not the product cost so there are ways you can use to reduce your overall cost in order to make it worthwhile importing such movies.
