Hello, this is me living in Germany, and I had ordered the game at ixsoft.de and have been waiting now a week just to get an email that the game is not in stock and I have to wait (how long, however, they kindly forgot to mention). It is not available at amazon, so anyone else know how a person living in Germany can aquire the game quickly and at a relatively reasonable price (please no 20 dollars shipping or such nonsense, the game is expensive enough).
Merci!

There's a French store called Store4war (www.store4war.com (http://www.store4war.com)) that, in this French gaming mag, advertises Dom2 at 49 Euros, with 8 Euros for shipping inside Europe.

I don't know if it's faster/cheaper than ordering elsewhere, but the Euro is significantly cheaper than the US$ at the moment.

Thanks Ill check them out. Having a bit of a problem with gamersmag because they want the billing address of the credit card to be the shipping address, and that is tough for me because I work full time and am never home to catch the mailman, want it shipped to my office. The German post is very unflexible too. OK thanks for the tips.

Don't they mailman in germany leave a message when you are not at home, like: you can collect the package at the local mailhouse(I think it's call that, not sure)?

thx- oksoft.de doesnt have dominions -- schade!

And yeah, not only is it tough getting to that post office with your package that is open, I live in an Altbauwohnung with no boxes downstairs, that means a mailman has to run up 5 flights of stairs with a note that I can pick it up later -- and it has happened that he just didnt want to do that and sent it back. I waited 6 weeks for contact lenses once only to find they were shipped back to the USA.

I bought it directly from Shrapnell, and it came within two weeks (not bad if you consider I ordered it the 20st december).

And if the Postbote doesnt want to climb up all those stairs you should use the adress of your grandparents, a friend or whatever.

Viel Spaß noch

have you tried www.okaysoft.de (http://www.okaysoft.de) ? sometimes they can import games that aren't on their usual list of games.
