M4x18 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 It is indeed a very nice deal. I'm in Spain and thinking about hitting it. Yes, it is an even better deal than the one that Amazon.es has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 No worries, I deleted the other one. Was wondering why it was giving me errors trying to view it, didn't know the pound sign did it. Cheers for the heads up on the deal as well. Funny thing though, when I went to check out the price came through as 83.33 ! Needless to say I couldn't hit checkout fast enough Anyone else get that or does Amzon.co.UK just love me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grolim Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 You lucky dog! Yep, but shipping cost me 25 more, so 108 all up. What's the shipping to the US cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerWilco Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 I think it is because they include VAT in the listed price, but it gets subtracted at checkout if you are exempted from it. It had never occurred to me to buy from Amazon.uk before I found this site, but you can score some pretty good deals. So far the things I have received have hit my door in very good shape, too.

RogerWilco Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Shipping to the U.S. is only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Damn that is cheap shipping! I'm pretty used to the high shipping costs, they probably account for around 25% of my inventory cost across the board. Never though about the VAT, that's probably it. Which would mean the US gets that as well right? I've bought quite a bit from them recently and everything has come quite fast and in very good condition.

M4x18 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 They must have a deal with a carrier to perform US deliveries. I was tagged with 8 GBP in s&**** costs to Spain. Still a nice deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerWilco Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah, U.S. gets the VAT subtracted too. Ends up being about 17% or so extra off the listed price. I just grabbed the 4x4 and a Ghost Train, since I don't have one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks for these. Just ordered 5! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Regardless of investment potential, this is an awesome looking set that I would want to play with. Didn't hesitate at this price. Since my endless complaints to amazon.co.uk they have shipped better/cheaper the last few orders. Knock on wood that they keep it up!

Quacs Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 This deal is crazy good...just worried about box condition. My last two Amazon UK orders have had 1 of 2 sets damaged. Edit - just ordered two! With the IS not coming through, I have a hole in my portfolio that needs to be filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaylay Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 thanks for the heads up ... just ordered 2 for $134 each ... i just hope they acutally get to me!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lateral-G Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Wow.....just placed my order. I had been watching several on ebay recently but this blows them all away. Glad I waited. They say it should be here by July 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 thanks for the heads up ... just ordered 2 for $134 each ... i just hope they acutally get to me!! It's a long way from England to Hawaii! That's an amazingly cheap shipping cost ($5 each!) for such a long journey. What a deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth_Raichu Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thanks for the deal Even though I wanted 2, I just ordered 1. Shipping more than 1 of those in a box from UK to US is asking for problems. The size of the box that would be needed to ship more than 1 is asking for a check at US Custom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr2uboy Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Tempted but I'm holding out for the 41999. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Darth, when I ordered 2x The Mine from AmUK earlier this year, they shipped in two separate boxes on two separate orders. Perhaps that's how they got around the customs issue on my last order? Interestingly, my VC order even earlier this year came in one box. Fortunately, I didn't have an issue with customs either time (crossing my fingers now!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
