tabloidjunky Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I used DVD boxoffice.com to order my copy ofSWG, and i just wanted to know if any other UK/european gamers used this website, and if yes have they recieved their copy yet, i have not received mine yet and i orderd the game back in febuary......
Zenmetsu Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I'm not from the UK/Europe. i Live in the USA. You shouldn't buy stuff from a website without secure lock signs on bottom of screen or ones you don't know much about. DO some research, look for sasite that you have heard of from other people.
lex40k Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I ordered from them recently and never got any emails back, so i cancelled my order and got a copy from ebay for about $50.
GreenGoblin Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 likewise, ordered from ebay for £36.00 including deliverys so that wasn't too bad. Not sure if I'll have to pay import duties on the doorstep seeing as i brought off ebay instead of a shop.
tabloidjunky Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Well i email DVD box office about them not sending me the dam game yet, and they said they will send me the game when they have suficent stock and will email me the day of the games departure. So im gonna give then another week, and if they havent even sent it out by them, they can go straight to hell id illg et it off EBAY.....But the only reason i got it fromdvd boxofice is becasue there are no postage cost and no handlling charges. Ive heard many tales fromUK gamers who used other sites and had to pay exta cost such as COD charges and many others. butthis is not the case with DVD box office aparently.... TY all..............keep givin me info, i wanna talk 2 sum satisfied costumers..... -Tabloidjunky
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Well dude, i canceled yesterday. And ordered from Gamestop, i've been waiting for nearly 2 weeks from DVD box office. And i can say, you won't be getting it soon.
tabloidjunky Posted July 6, 2003 Author Posted July 6, 2003 Not trying to alarmy uo but jsut asking mate, aparently for gamestop, you got to pay a COD(cash on delivery) charge with game stop. Just saying if you didnt allready know, ive spoken to a few people and they said that with this charge which they were not told about the game ended up costing them £80......... -Tabloidjunky:deathii:
Ravenzclawz Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Try http://www.importmadness.com good price delivery to most areas and as far as i can see ( i did use a magnifying glass on the small print ) there is no extra charge when you get it delivered
Bishk99 Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Officially you should have to pay COD charges even if you order from DVD box office, its in their FAQ (Import Charges). It all depends how well the contents of the package are documented when it enters the UK. I imagine if you use the free shipping more often then not it gets away with no COD charges when it enters the country. I think Gamestop customers always get caught everytime because the package is shipped via UPS, which seem to have a rigorous import policy. When you track your UPS order you will see it enter an import scan phase. Zenmetsu, are you saying that DVDboxoffice isn't secure? I got a security padlock in my browser when i ordered from them and they displayed and linked to their Veri sign certificate. Lots of people suggested dvdboxoffice to me when I first ordered saying that they had used it in the past for DVD imports. Looks like they just couldn't handle the massive demand for SWG. Anyway, I ordered from dvdboxoffice, then cancelled cause it was taking too long and then ordered from gamestop which i got two days after ordering, although it was incredibly pricey (COD 'n all). tabloidjunky, Hope you work something out soon Bish
Zenmetsu Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 You should check to see if they are in stock bvefore you buy. Do you know if they are sold out everywhere in stores?
Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Where are you from Reaper? My CoD ended up being just under £20, and I'm from the UK...
dillinga Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Guys don't get it from a shop use Ebay I got mine for £36 inc shipping same as Greengoblin (Is that u matey??) I was looking at a £80 bill from Gamestop!!!
Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 £70 from gamestop here... was that the C.E version of the game you're talking about dillinga?
dillinga Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Yes m8 the CE was all they had left. Wouldn't normally buy from Ebay but £80 was just to much
Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Heh... I must be quite desperate then! I guess it was because of the sudden end of Beta that I realised how much I liked SWG... I HAD to get it! And the concept art book is fantastic... it looks like it would cost £15 at Waterstones!
dillinga Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Your not desperate I am for using Ebay and Paypal!!!!!
-=ReApEr=- Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 I live in england as well freind, and also guys. Im not a n00b i have preordered games before, i know where to check if they got any copys or not.

Neon Vampyre Posted July 6, 2003 Posted July 6, 2003 Ebays not that bad! I've got stuff from there before, and its always been reliable... *touch wood * *dances round* I made someone laugh? Woohoo!

Neon Vampyre Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 I'd have gone mad by now... simply wanting the game would kill me! Me? I'm glad I paid extra to have it now.
