Hey international members!

I'm hosting a group buy for any of you people out there that are interested in the "metal box" wave from Best Buy.

-Commando
-Spaceballs
-M*A*S*H
-Patton
-Mad Max
-Tora! Tora! Tora!

Order cost is $9.99 per copy (or price as listed on best buy.com! you get the LOWEST PRICE)
Sales tax of 5.5% per copy

Any price drop from Best Buy will be honored. If it goes lower than the published pre-order price, then you get that price.

Due to the large amount of work for international group buys, including a few visits to the post office and packaging materials, the fee will be $3.00 for the first copy and $1.00 for each additional. but that TOTAL cost is DONATED TO HDN upkeep costs.

Paypal fees will be included in any invoice sent.

Limit of 4x copies per request.

Only mint / new copies will be passed on to members here.

Additionally - these steelbooks usually come wrapped in cardboard slips. I'll do my best to inspect them, but I cannot see underneath the cardboard.

Shipping options:
QUOTES are for 1 steelbook ONLY.

I will pack in the following manner - case will be bubble wrapped, in a heavier cardboard box.

Please note - with non-trackable shipping - you the buyer understand that I cannot verify it's delivery - as I leave the choice up to you, this is not my responsibility. Insurance can be purchased through a 3rd party if desired.

I will retain proof of shipping for each package.

All delivery times are ESTIMATES only. New quotes provided as necessary.

First Class International (Box) - with delivery confirm to most countries.

-delivery to most locations - 10 - 14 business days, but may take longer
France - $14.40
UK - $14.40
Canada -> $9.50 (have to requote, postage increase)

Insurance against loss or damage is $1.30 more up to $100 worth of coverage and is included in every invoice.

I ordered an extra one before the sale. You are welcome to it, and I will hold for shipping until Flash Gordon, but you would have to pay the $14.99 price. Still interested?



You got the last one I have in hand - it's currently unavailable for online orders at the moment

Andy, just a little update, there is a definite date for when BB expect Max back in stock - 26th June.
 
If you are eventually able to source additional copies of "Mad Max", I would like a further copy. This time, I'll pay extra for the optional insurance against loss or damage.

My previous copy arrived today. It's taken a battering in transit which even your sturdy packaging was unable to withstand, and looks like a banana.

No blame is attributed to anyone other than the postal authorities!

Thanks.

Will definitely keep you in mind!

Well good news is that your package was insured against loss or damage (I add this into your cost and always insure ALL packages now), so we can submit a claim and definitely get your cost back (including postage)!

If you want to proceed with that, please send me a private message and I'll start the process for you.

One package of Mad Max ended up as a frisbee (they are all crushed in the middle, lol), but I have enough good copies of Mad Max to go around.

Will be in contact this weekend with your invoice for payment and shipping.
 
1 copy of Spaceballs to the UK please? Is currently $9.99 at Best buy.com. How much would shipping be please? Thankd

Right, I have them at the 9.99 price right now. Other costs (including shipping - check the spoiler) as stated in the OP.

Please send the e-mail attached to your paypal via PM so I can get you an invoice.

Thanks
 
Andy, can I get 1 x Spaceballs to Finland? Shipped together with my current Sony steelbook GB request? Thanks! :)
