Deft Aklin Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 I have a buddy that needs a little help getting the game in Europe for the US release. Does anyone know who will be shipping it there? Any help would be greatly appreciated on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benihana14 Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Not a clue, but if worse comes to worst, you could have him pay you...purchase a second game, and ship it to him yourself? Might be slower though, and a pain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be slower though, and a pain That was my next option. I was hoping some of the European members of this forum had already thought about this issue. Thanks for the advice though Beni.

Thew Rydur Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 What about Amazon? Theres a link on swgalaxies.net that will take you straight to the preorder screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorg Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Firstly I'd like to say 'Hi' to everyone. I'm very excited about the release of the game and I can't wait to play it, but I'm from a small europeian country that most of you havnt even heard of (Slovenia) and I doubt that when the game is released on the 15th of April that I will get it within a month. It will probably take more... I was just wondering as I saw another post with a similar issue... Is it worth it to preorder a game in America and have it sent overseas to my little backwater country... (if this is even possible...) If so... where (when) should I turn? I tried looking at ebay and amazon, but I didnt notice any similar options... anyone knows if they will become available when the game is closer to release? Anyway enough of my ranting and silly questions... I'll let you fine people continue your daily lives and not be troubled by little europeian countries and it's inhabitants....

setsuko Posted January 28, 2003 Share Posted January 28, 2003 Hell no! Us small European countries are what makes the world go round! Without us, there wouldn't be... middle east diplomatic solution, cheese with holes in, and... and... and Volvo cars! Seriously, most often there's little problem with ordering from oversees (unless if it is AC2). If I am not wrong, I saw the preorder on egames.com in september or something, it should still be there (even though they said they'll ship it in january!)

Gorg Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 I just looked at amazon.com again and found that they do sell SW Galaxies for $50... Maybe I should consider this and order it from there... it will only take a week or so for shipping... hmm... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000067FDY/qid=1043798383/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/104-8753201-8983124?v=glance&s=videogames&n=507846 is the exact adress for the game...

Juztyn Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 We have a number of pre-order links on the front page @ swgalaxies.net. I do believe most of them will ship internationally. I know there were problems with AC2 going international, but I wasn't following it very closely so I'm not sure what happened. Hopefully it'll work out for you.

(if this is even possible...) Well Gorg, that's cause I posted the question already for you....and since the admin seem to have lacked in their duties.... WELCOME TO THE SWGalaxies.net FORUMS!!!! Hopefully you can stay awhile and....make sure you avoid the Gnorts that I am sure Wraith 8 or Jan Gaarni will give you shortly. As a side note, if you think the MUSH guys know their SW, you should see some of the crud these gentleman can pull out of their arses. BTW, this is where the Dark Sovereignty PA forum is located.

Deft Aklin Posted January 29, 2003 Author Share Posted January 29, 2003 Wraith, why don't you add this to Gorg's post. I'm not greedy, he can get the points. But it does seem a waste to have two of the same threads. Thanks buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it'll work out for you. Well, simply put, if you were not from a selected four or so european countries, you could NOT log on to ANY server with your american copy, and the copy itself would prove useless when you eventually (this summer supposedly) should be able to get local servers. So, you got seriously screwed, and Microsoft said, with a straight face, that the never thought that anyone would order a copy from abroad! Thankfully, I was not one of the victíms of this scam.

Gorg Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 What does this mean? That I (if I happen to buy a copy off the amazon.com) wont be able to play on american servers because my IP wont be from the states or from the other (4 I think) europeian countries? Sounds like a silly way to do business... I will most likely be ordering the game before it's release and habving it shipped over to my country... I hope they wont swindle me ...

Wraith 8 Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 well first of all let me say HI... i already welcomed you in another thread. and i do know slovenia ... i myself come from a rather smaller country than i think all members here... unless there are people from luxenbourg or malta or something I pre ordered on EB... and it ships one day before release it says.. so im not realy worried. and i think Setsuko was talking about AC2.... not SWG..... dont worry c ya around -Wraith 8- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorg Posted January 29, 2003 Share Posted January 29, 2003 Thanks for the welcome guys! I'm sure I'll order the game from amazon.com... but first I have to con my parents into thinking that I really need the game... I'll have to wait for them to be in a good mood (which means I have to pass a few exams and tell them my request immediatly after Itell them that I passed an exam...

Gorg Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Hey guys! I tried ordering the game from amazon.com, but it said I cant ship any toys/games/electronics to anywhere outside the US (or Canada)... I also tried on ebay.com but they dont even have Star Wars Galaxies... there's a link on Swgalaxies.net that takes you to ebgames.com, but shippment to Slovenia is not an option there... I'm slowly running out of ideas on how to preorder the game and have it shipped to me... Is there any shippment company other than the ones I've mentioned that can supply me with the game as soon as it is available? Or will I have to find alternative means of transport...?

Deft Aklin Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 I will look into it. After all, the Dark Side will aid in my search. *moves his PC to properly channel the force* *Rapid typing and clicking* *Loud bang as he kicks his PC* "I wasn't looking for naked pics of Britney Spears Damn it! The force works in mysterious ways." Try this one: http://www.gpstore.co.nz/product.x?1456719 It's a New Zealand based company. It looks like they will be selling copies from the US release and they list Europe as a shipping location. Be careful, your bank may have a surcharge for currency conversion.

Gorg Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 No Dice... they dont ship to Slovenia... I guess we're a little backwater country that makes the world go around, but noone seems to notice us If anyone knows any other way (or of some other Europeians who have allready ordered through the net...) please tell me before I have a heart attack Anyways...

Ptepic Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Gorg Try http://www.cdromshop.com, I just checked their site and it looks like they ship to your country. I will almost certainly order through them (to the UK in my case)and just hope that you don't need a USA credit card billing address to play on an imported copy. Hope this is of some help.
