Did you use airmail or the courier shipping.

I just use the default option, which is free. I actually have never purchased from dvdboxoffice, its just I've got stuff from America before and figured it would be the same. How can you not pay vat? :)

I'm guessing you don't have to pay extra with Sharma's link?

Guess not, since its an English import site.

Now, sit down and pray that they ship to arrive on release day, instead of shipping on release day :)

Hope you queried that. VAT is 17.5%, so that means they estimated the game as worth £100.

I've ordered a lot from dvdboxoffice and cdromshop, and never been charged VAT on arrival. It's all down to whether customs decide to pick on you that day, guess I've just been lucky so far.

I would recommend them though, very quick shipping times for free (my last product was ordered on a Friday evening and was in my hand Tuesday morning).

Ordered from dvdboxoffice, after being told that their dhl shipping is two days :D

Won't be able to get any time off, unlike you lucky buggers, as I just went away last week.

Can anyone recommend another company that ships to the UK ?

Ordered one copy from dvdboxoffice
and will be ordering another from somewhere else, my brother wants to play so may as well order from a different source and hope one turns up quicker :)

Tried cdromshop but they dont seam to have it on their webpages yet.

My link is a UK site btw so you wouldnt have to worry about it not shipping to the UK.

After all, a UK service that doesnt ship to the UK sounds a bit daft doesn't it? Hmmm. :p
