The World's End (Blu-ray SteelBook) [UK]
- Thread starter Gamesgaryjp
- Start date
I never knew you had to pay customs On WOWHD?
And how much did you pay for it? I'm waiting on mine to arrive from them but it only cost me €20. No customs charge
They ship from china i think...somewhere in asia

Yes I know. But I thought because a lot of countries had their own site (WOWHD.IE, WOWHD.CO.UK etc...) that you didn't have to pay it? I've never had to pay customs on them.
I've just ordered this from wowhd uk for £21.99. Was going to wait but checked my local hmv haven't got any in stock and amazon etc sold out.
Mine came from wowhd. Stuck in royal mail at mo...customs charge!!!....only one im waiting for so i guess this is it.i had a wowhd film come from hongkong once
You should challenge WOESD as you bought from the UK site. They are yet to refund me on the damaged Fifth Element. Been pending for almost a month. They got my return 10 days back.

As it's sent from outside the EU and is more than £15 duty would be due.
The Shipping FAQ's (http://www.wowhd.co.uk/info/CustomerService/Shipping) say as much.
But they also say that VAT is included in all prices (http://www.wowhd.co.uk/info/TermsConditions ), if that is so there should be no customs charges as the duty has been collected by the retailer.
Isn't WOWHD the rebranding fo CDWOW who got dragged over the coals for not charging VAT a few years back.
Picked up the last one from my local HMV, was holding off for a price drop but it seems everywhere is selling out!
If VAT is included then they can only charge handling fees which I believe is ridiculous.
No more ordering from WOESD for me.
Is the gloss finish the reason this is sold out almost everywhere? I have a hard time wondering how a £20+ 2D release has pretty much disappeared a week after release given how reviews of the film were pretty lukewarm, and also taking into account the steels of the other films in the Cornetto trilogy took forever to sell out (if they even have).
Nice art and good film too. Theres not enough collectors out there to make a steelbook on this scale (safe to say not ultra limited) sell out just because of gloss. This appeals to the mainstream audience too.
Does it have a limited print run? Can't believe copies are becoming scare on the ground already.
Maybe it's just a supply issue? Universal usually print billions and whilst this is popular, it's not a huge blockbuster. I'm really hoping it isn't sold out as it is one I wanted, just not for more than £20.
The first two aren't exactly limited. That said the quality isn't as nice nor were they released at the time of the amaray release. This could be sold out
I say they learnt from the mistake with ET and a few other releases
This is limited release this time as its so far UK/Ireland Release only
Previous Universal Steelbook Titles were worldwide Releases with various design differences
Qty though not sure
They Should mention when its listed as Limited the exact Print Run for each Region which in this case was UK/Ireland
Amazon UK had there allocation
Zavvi had there allocation
HMV allocation looks was not very big
Other Stores/Online UK/Ireland ?
Problem is overall what was the print run is unknown
They should mention the Print Run as it will help sell a title if it is very limited and also let collectors know there chance of missing out
Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz were not limited releases and there is different steelbook artwork releases also worldwide
Also there is a large fan base worldwide
Be interested to know how many The World's End Steelbook were shipped from Amazon UK and Zavvi to overseas customers as this is the only Steelbook release at the moment

Na. It will be back. Mass produced. They havent said its limited and it is selling well. They'll make more and it will come back no doubt
Actually the J-Card says "Limited Edition Collector's Steelbook". Not sure how limited that is though!
They have mentioned its Limited
The World's End - Limited Edition Steelbook
It was not a Worldwide Steelbook Release
Saying that I still expect you will see a German release at some stage
I cant remember any previous Universal Limited Release were they mention the print run Qty
They should say the print run qty as this would help collectors know how limited it is
Good example of title with limited in listing was Skyfall (ok not a Universal Release )we did not know the print run and that also had other releases in other countries and sold fast yes was a big blockbuster
But The World's End Steelbook this is the only release so far so not really a surprise its sold well
Will they print more possibly yes unless they did decide on a max print run just would help collectors to know if its 4,000 5,000 10,000 50,000 etc

Selling out after release day isn't that limited. I don't know why people are saying it wouldn't be sold out.
I'm sorry but the word 'limited' without mentioning a specific number is meaningless when it comes to Steelbooks. Proof? See below. Before anyone says, it isn't just Zavvi that list it as limited edition, so do Amazon and Sainsbury's.
