Re: Buying SEIV from the UK?
I bought direct from Shrapnel as well.
Shipping is way too expansive, I would't mind waiting for couple weeks if shrapnel used cheaper service.

Re: Buying SEIV from the UK?
Chips and Bits offers cheaper shipping.
it has more to do with lost packages than with offering a cheaper service.

Re: Buying SEIV from the UK?
I reckon I could fly to the states, buy 100 copies and flog them back here for a small profit to cover my air fare

Re: Buying SEIV from the UK?
I can't see the UK shipping cost on the Shrapnel site. Could anyone please let me know what it is?
I have three friends interested in joining me in a game so I might be ordering four copies - is the shipping cost per order or per copy?
I know I can order from the UK distributor but as discussed, I am not paying 160 UK pounds for four copies!

Re: Buying SEIV from the UK?
Yeah, I would like to know this. Another question, has any Brit out there who has ordered SEIV classic or SEIV gold ever been sent a letter by FedEx wanting £10 in import duty - I bought SEIV Last year and it cost me close on £55 what with shipping and import duty
It is one of the reasons why I am being put off gold

Re: Buying SEIV from the UK?
I received my copy by Global Priority Mail -
it is USA Federal Mail service, completely unrelated to Federal Express. There were no duty on the shipping. Don't remember exact shipping cost, but it was around £10.

Re: Buying SEIV from the UK?
Oleg, how did you use that service?
I just checked on the Shrapnel website again and the only shipping option I can see is the $19 fedex one
