£9.95 for 4 items shipped to Republic of Ireland. How much it is for we guys in the UK?

That quote given was actually for 3 items to Ireland (or a Blu Box + 1) not 4.

Looks like it's going to be £10.79 now anyway (as per the new German quote)

Anybody looking to buy just one copy is at a disadvantage straight away as it costs the same to ship one as it does three copies?

No competitiveness in the pricing there. It just works in favour of resellers.... .

Bulk buyers outside EU will get the best deal as they get a straight 20% discount.

yeah, it's kind of bull that we don't get any sort of discount for Asian releases.

Our competitiveness should come once we have business rates after having an average parcel shipping quantity. Most couriers are now charging by volumetric weight and not actual weight. We have gone to the smallest box we feel can still offer the best protection. We have always shipped with roughly 1.5m of bubble wrap even for a single edition + loose foam pieces and sturdy box. This has resulted in 0 damages in hundreds of parcels sent. So yes, it does benefit multiple copies brought at once but after we understand the demand for our products we can be much more strict on limits. Combine strict limits with business rate shipping and it should offer a much more competitive price. We feel damaged goods would cause much more of an issue than our current shipping prices, especially if a product is sold out and no exchanges are possible.

Thanks for your comment,

EverythingBlu

Yeah, why exactly is it more expensive in Europe than for anywhere else?

Because VAT must be charged to European Members. We took the choice not to keep the same price for non members as they have higher shipping rates. We have said before that shipped products are actually all very close in price. We also thought a company clearly showing that we have avoided charging non EU countries with tax included simply to make more profit would be a positive thing.

Thanks,
EverythingBlu

@EverythingBlu Thank you for all of your responses on here, makes a huge difference to Asian premium sellers of whom we get drip-fed information and often no answers to a lot of questions. Hopefully the product is similar or better and if it is, I think I'll have a new favourite!

Pressure is on!

Are you saying that your happy to forego profits for some customers but decided to gain/keep the profits for other customers?

For example cos I'm in the uk (where you're based) you will keep the profits when selling to me but forego them for other customers?

Other companies don't give such concessions to customers, for example, when I buy collectables from amazon usa I would pay for the item, shipping and customs but if the a usa based customer bought the same item they would pay the same price as me for the item but pay a small shiping fee and no customs charges. Amazon usa don't forego their profits to get the same item shipped to me for roughly the same price as the would for a us customer.

I'm not very informed when it comes to vat etc so am I understanding your post correctly? knowing me, probably not but that's the way I read it.

Thanks

What he is saying is that buyers in the EU have to pay VAT while buyers outside the EU do not have to pay VAT. It is similar to what we have here in the US. EU purchasers shopping on Amazon are not subjected to state taxes American buyers pay on top of the listed price ( varies by state ). For me thats 6% above list price on all purchases. They pay just the list price. I guess the problem is that EU taxation is much more stringent than outside the EU. They are doing the same thing amazon does across the EU. VAT tax is not charged to customers outside the EU and is removed from the purchase price.

By law, VAT has to be charged to those in the UK and in Europe. It does not have to be charged to people from other places, say USA. In fact, if you go to the UK and buy things in actual stores and you're from the US, you can claim a refund for the VAT when you leave. Additionally, places like Amazon.co.uk will remove the VAT for items shipped to the US. So this is really no different than most websites do.

We have always shipped with roughly 1.5m of bubble wrap even for a single edition + loose foam pieces and sturdy box. This has resulted in 0 damages in hundreds of parcels sent.

If you are using 1.5m of bubble + foam pieces then you may want to rethink about the size of the box. 1.5m is way too much...

They not foregoing any profits Vat payment is to Tax revenue
Everything Blu do not get to keep the Vat payment

Everything Blu they receive Full Slip £21.66 both EU and Non EU orders
£25.99-£21.66 = £4.33
The Vat payment £4.33 goes to Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs

Hey @EverythingBlu, any chance you could maybe add a test item with a ridiculous price to the inventory, that way we could check the exact shipping costs for ourselves. For some of us it might make more sens to order for a few people together, but it all depends on how the shipping stacks up with multiple copies.

 

[paulboland]

I seriously hope there is a restriction on number of copies of the Blu Box a customer can order

These should be going to collectors fans of the film at cost price and not bulk amounts to resellers to sell at high prices on eBay etc

Please set a limit of 1 per customer for the Blu Box if not sold out by release date then remove the limit of 1 per customer
