Despite being accessible and taking orders, krdvd.com doesn't seem to ship anything. After placing an order in August and cancelling last month, I still haven't received a refund or a response to multiple e-mails sent to multiple addresses.
David Luc (tristan on eBay) is to be avoided.

I would just like to comment on HKFlix.
I was looking for a copy of Battle Royale NTSC 5.1 Tartan and was having a difficult time find a retailer inside the US. I went to eBay (too much) and then Half.com where I found to people selling them. One was a person with no negative feedback (the one I eventually ordered from) and one was HKFlix. I noticed that HKFlix had two copies up on the site, so I questioned the seller as to whether they actually had a copy of this onhand. When I looked at the feedback, I saw many many cancellations. I got an email today saying that it had "just gone out of print" and refered me to an auction.
I will never do business with these bait and switch bastards. Using Half.com as a front to hype an auction is not the way to run a business.

I found a website that is in English and the prices seem pretty fair. Shipping looks to be costly. Here is what it says on the website:
International Standard Shipping
Our standard method of shipping is Express Mail Service (EMS) for all shipments to destinations outside of Thailand. For international EMS shipment, the delivery time is around five business days.
The site is: http://www.movieseer.com/dvdIndex.asp?Channel=2
I was able to find the Ransom DTS / 16:9 edition there. Of course, site descriptions are just that. No one really knows what dvd is what until it is in your hands.

This store sells bootlegs. At least when it concerns anime dvd's. There's no way there can be legal DVD's of a recent series like Naruto with both chinese and english (engrish more likely :P) subtitles.

For all the time that I have known him, AutumnNights has been surfing from a library i.e. no regular home access.
The above post should prove a useful reference for his next edit, the last of which was a couple of months ago.

Just ordered from these guys for the first time. WOW!!!!! Excellent experience. I received my dvds in less than 6 days after shipping.
They are also pretty quick to responding to e-mail inquiries
Sorry, I doubted them before.

However, these two are online:
