Ordered it from HMV. Don't know if I cancel it to buy it from yesasia to avoid customs...

Do you think there is less chance of customs charging if its from Yesasia over HMV?

How do you avoid customs?

 

[trikidicky]

Don't know if perhaps I am interpreting this wrong but I just saw this is Yesasia's shipping information:
"YesAsia.com will pay VAT (Value Added Tax) and custom duties on orders shipped to the United Kingdom and Germany via our Standard Shipping method. When placing an order, please choose the Standard Shipping option to enjoy VAT-free shopping.

In the event that VAT or customs duties are incurred, you may contact our Customer Service Department to request a refund in YesAsia Credit. Please note that an official receipt from your local customs agent or post office is required to successfully claim a refund. Our customer service team will guide you through the procedure once we receive your refund request."

Like I said I could be reading that wrong but it sounds to me that if you live in the UK or Germany and you incur customs charges, Yesasia will refund you in Yesasia credit?
Not as good as a straight up refund but it sounds like a good halfway point if you get stung by customs

Hi there trikidicky,you are right with what you thought.they will refund in Yesasia credit,as long as you have proof.Just ordered this from them.think the artwork is well cool

 

[trikidicky]

Yeah I preordered it too. Love the artwork, hopefully I wont get stung by customs but if I do at least I can claim it off my next steelbook!

Region A locked, bollocks, it seems only US are region free for Warner Bros

If this artwork is final and the price is fair, I will definitely buy this and sell my Canada version. This looks uber-nice.

Why sell it?

In my opinion the canadian steel looks a lot nicer (maybe except for the spine).

I have to agree My Canadian release looks way better than this one this looks plain and the front artwork has a cheap look to it. It doesn't look like they used a High Resolution picture, 300 JP steel is the same way. Both canadian releases Win compared to these

The finish on the V for vendetta is based on the Korean Seven steelbook.

I have a feeling this can only get worse

 

[hayemaker]

The only way it could get worse is if they fail to obtain the item and then refund you in store credit.

I got the same email today. I'm beginning to become wary about ordering Japanese steels from YA after the Skyfall debacle. I really hope they do deliver otherwise I'll have to take the shipping hit from amazon.jp every time I need a Japanese steel.

Luckily I have another one bundled in with my Dredd order on Amazon.

 

[lgans316]

What bothers me is the inability to cancel the order. Listing says 2 things:

1. Cancellation which YA are hell bent on

2. Release date which YA doesn't seem to bother

 

[jitstark]

Hey trikidicky. Mine shipped today from YA. Hope you got the same good news.

 

[Scarface]
