Buying the Game - What's the difference in the opt

[Tals]

Hi

I'm planning to buy the game, I have two options on post (posting to uk)

USPS Airmail Parcel Post 9.35$
USPS Global Priority Mail 5$

What's the difference? Also anyone been hit by customs when it arrives here.

Lastly any ideas how long to arrive?

Many thanks

I guess the difference is in the speed. Cheaper is supposed to be slower.

As for customs - I'm not in the UK, but I'm in the EU (France), and didn't have any trouble with customs.

In the EU, customs apply if the item is worth man than 22.50 € i believe. Thats assuming somehow declares the exact value on the package.

Im in the UK and had absolutely no problems with my (pre)order.

You might ask someone like a local business and see if they have gotten both delivery types. They might have a preference

I would probably just go with the more expensive method, its only £2-£3 extra and should be faster.

I went with the cheaper option, and the game took less than a week to get here, I consider that fast enough.

Really appretiate all the replies - went for the more expensive option - i've held off far too long for this one as it is http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Merry Christmas all and look forward to gaming with some of you in the New Year

Heh, I ordered the game last week and am dying to get my hands on it, especially the manual. I have been playing it blind so far (never played Dom 1 or 2 either, but many other strategy games) and when I look over these forums I feel that I am sooo far behind everyone else... I hope i get my delivery soon, but with the holidays and all the mail is slow... darnit and after newyears my holiday ends http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Dominions can be a bit intimidating without the manual, especially Dom3. I learned Dom1 with just some instruction from a friend, Dom2 was just expanding on Dom1 with occasional rare references to the manual.

Dom3 has so far seen much more references to the manual for a couple of things, but that has been mostly because I want the DB to have no mistakes from the outset.
