Buying SEIV from the UK?

[Richard]

Chips and Bits offers cheaper shipping.

it has more to do with lost packages than with offering a cheaper service.

Shipping is way too expansive, I would't mind waiting for couple weeks if shrapnel used cheaper service.

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

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!

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

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.

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

[oleg]

I don't know - I just ordered in Shrapnel and
it came via Global Priority Mail.

I remember Richard mentioned that all shipping outside USA is made this way, and FedEx inside USA. May it was indeed $19 ( £15 ).
But I am asolutely sure there were no extra charges by customs.
