Not true. As long as you order Global Priority (most European Contries except Italy - there may be one or two more, but I don't think so.) and you order no more than 2 games, then there is no customs or taxes. This is because it fits in a special envelope that goes as docs no matter what is in it. This does not apply to our board games as they won't fit in the envelope, or to our Safe Box products if you order more than one. This is my understanding from our postal service.

But of course you can order from any one of our European distributors. We don't have on in Sweden -- yet. I think the closest to you are the UK distributor Richard mentioned and our France reseller (www.store4war.com).

A swedish reseller would be the best bu any reseller in EU are good inough, as long they can send it to sweden. Ordering it from US will add another 25% in tax + custom fee to the price, witch i want to avoid.

Thanks for the info Tim. I didt know about the envelope, have order from US before (5 games then) and was forced to pay tax. I shall check the swedish import rules about that special envelope.

I ordered it from here directly. Shipping was, IIRC, 9 US$. Anyway, shipping cost is displayed in the order screen. I think it was about 50€ in total. Considering the old days with a price of 89,90 DM it's quite acceptable.

I got Dominions 2 today with "Global Priority" in an envelope and indeed there were no taxes added.

Has anyone tried in tuxgames.com?
It seems that they still dont have the game in stock, and the site is poorly updated although it seems they have a lot of preorders of Dom2.
Im waiting for some feedback about this topic before purchasing the game there.
