I'll get to talking about how i'm finding the game at some point, but before that, on a credit crunch theme....

Tried to buy the two supplements and the brighter boards on the official site, but was alarmed by the heavy $40 charge for postage that got added! its a lot lot less for just the two supplements (about $7 i think). I know this is shipping to the UK, but is that really right? I'd like to get the boards (somehow i got the first printing - its not that much of an issue for me, but if the chance is there, I'll take it), but not at that cost.

I put the combo 'revenge' and boards in the cart, which i seem to recall reading was supposed to sort out an oddity in the postage costs, but this, im assuming isnt some kind of related issue?

Hi Dobey, I am a UK Munion and thought I'd pop a bit of advice on here.

The total for what you suggest, the revenge/boards combo, including shipping is about £21.60 ($33.35). This is over the £18 allowed figure by customs so you run the risk of being taxed on it.

I once ordered a Bowling Shirt from the US and ended up nearly paying the same again in tax and Post Offfice collection fees when it arrived.

You don't always get caught for the tax but if they check your box, you'll be liable and there is no way of not paying if you want the goods. I have order DVD boxsets from the US and sometimes I have paid tax and others it arrived "tax free".

You could break-up the order into two separate orders, one for the boards and one for "Revenge", this only adds on about £2 to the grand total including shipping and you wouldn't be liable for the tax etc.

My Partner Kath and I just did that for the "Revenge" and AToE "Madness" supplements to avoid tax. She ordered one and I ordered the other......and it wasn't just so we could get two autographed cards, honestly Soundgirl!! (If you are reading this) Zombie03

Good luck in whatever way you choose to do it, Dobey! Cheers!
