Actually I would be interested to see how much Amazon will charge you to have it sent to the UK. Post the quotes here please.

Unfortunately Amazon won’t ship games outside the US. Gits.

I think I'm going to Boston for a week in March, so if I do, I'll take orders

Post Fri Feb 07, 2003 12:56 pm

Tell me about it! I know i'll regret it if i don't import... those 4-5 weeks will be hell. A few companies have been mentioned in the forum but I'm still not sure who's the best choice to import from... who are you going with?

play.com list it as 21/03/03 at 27.99 ukp delivered.

There is also dvdboxoffice.com, which don't seem to have freelancer yet, but
do free worldwide delivery from Canada.

SSJ-EX! (sorry Mustang for stealing your Idea) Yeah its true! I'll confirm the dates later but if you ask (or grovel) and I can save up enough money before I go then I'll take orders (dont get your hopes up though its depends on when I'm going)

@Kalneil...

yeah... i've been keeping an eye on dvdboxoffice, they're well cheap but they don't seem to deal with any PC games... just console. Do you know any different? i think i might email and see if i get a response.

Post Fri Feb 07, 2003 4:11 pm

Yes dvdboxoffive do PC games, they are just listed as 'computer games' on
the list rather than PC CD or anything. Confused me for a while, but maybe they are scaling down their PC operations.

[edit
Otherwise the already mentioned strategic-plus is a good bet - they are faster than dvdboxoffice by some way, but you pay for it.

With all imports to the UK there is always the risk of huge delay due to customs inspection, although this seems to have lessened these days, and it might be that games now fall below the margin for import duty (they didn't before).
