There is a free shipping option for orders of any size, and I would assume taxes would only be an issue in Illinois, since that's where it's based. I know I don't have to pay tax on what I buy from there.

They don't have everything, but they do have a nice selection.

I haven't known the shipping charges from TRSI (TheRightStuf International) to be bad even when you have to pay shipping (usually I order enough from them at a time that I get free shipping). And I could swear that when I bought the first Rurouni Kenshin box from them when it was on sale, I had free shipping and yet the total was only $43 basically. Are you sure the minimum isn't $39 instead of $49?
But anyway, I recommend TRSI anyway because they ship very quickly, their customer service is good from my experience, they have a ton of anime/manga stuff to choose from, and their sale prices are unbeatable, especially if you have a Got Anime membership (it's a yearly payment of $12 I believe. It's well worth it, especially if you buy enough stuff. It gives you an extra 10% off of most orders, and you can use a special coupon on their site (it changes every once in a while. Usually it's a "$7 of an order of $77 or more", type of thing). And if you are patient enough to wait for them to put the stuff you want on sale, you can make a raid since most are 40% off on all DVDs for that company (Viz, Funimation, Media Blasters, you name it), and if you have a Got Anime membership, it's half off! I personally think it's more than worth it.
It's also good to check out their weekly specials and bargain bin items, you can make some great pick-ups that way too.

No it's 49 dollars, in your case it probably because of the discount you recieved. The free shipping is for 50 dollars of merchandise regardless if it is discounted. That happened to me when I bought some bandai stuff during that sale my total was like 40 something but I still recieved free shipping.

You know what I like about Rightstuf is that they don't charge you for shipping if you have mulitiple items being shipped at different times. Although you do have wait until like saturday for the partial shipment, but it's still a great day.
Till next time,

It's pretty reliable that pretty much any time ADV puts out a thinpack of something, Rightstuf will eventually have the singles for around $7 and the V1+ box for $10--it's a grerat way to get the singles with all the extras for a real cheap price Smile Other companies and boxes are questionable--Viz has released a Saikano boxed set, but the singles still go for $26.98 Rolling Eyes

Actually, it's not quite half- the 10% for Got Anime comes off the discounted price, not the full price. By my math, it's actually about 46% off. Very Happy

Yeah I originally thought the same that I could get 50% off my purchase but still the saving I got on my first purchase more then paid for the card. In fact my saving were nearly double the price, so it's worth it to me. Hell if you order more then two things a year it's worth it.
