Default Ordering manga

Hi . I want to make myself a huge christmas present so I thought of ordering some manga via the net . The titles I want are Grenadier , Mai-Hime and Jojo's Bizarre adventure . Oh and the two volumes of Trigun. The thing is I live in Greece(in Europe that is ) and I can't find which place has the best prices and transport your goods internationally at a low cost except than amazon . So any suggestions from fellow Europeans as to which anime store they prefer and why will be gladly received .
Thanks.

Well, first, I'm assuming you want English language? Or Japanese (I'm assuming you don't want French or German, the other two 'large' options)? If you want English, I would say Amazon. I don't know any of the British companies, but if you're looking at American, I can't imagine a cheaper company in terms of shipping. However, Amazon only offers reduced prices on Del Rey, not other publishers. TRSI offers reduced prices on most companies. Give DeepDiscount a look too. I don't know if they would ship to Greece, but they're cheap too. Actually the cheapest would be to find an American friend, have them buy it with free shipping, and then they ship it out ground to you (yes, I know there's water, but that's what they called it when I shipped to Australia so bug the postal service for that).

I know nothing about shipping because I always aim for free shipping. However, I would assume it's about the same (in the states, outside I don't know). And I've never had to return a damaged item from either. Considering I buy EVERYTHING online, that's a good track record for both since I buy a lot from them. However, they do accept replacements on damaged items.

I am from the Netherlands and I always order at archonia.com. Its located in belgium and it had loads of stuff for cheap prices.

www.play.com is also worth a try. Its not specialised in manga but has a good amount of it. And free shipping.
