So in what universe does it cost $13 to ship a jewel case across the Atlantic?

coze · 29 November 2008, 09:58

? it's normal for airmail ? you never bought stuff from europe before ?

musashi5150 · 29 November 2008, 09:58

I'd ask some US eBay sellers the same when sending something similar to the UK

Plenty of times, but most of those times they give you other, saner choices besides arimail.

This kind of stuff isn't exactly urgently needed most of the time, I think I can wait for the damn boat in the interests of saving a buck or two.

maybe you can find cgx from softhut ?

It is nice that Germany is just about 125 miles away for me

I paid about 200DKR or 35USD the one time that I bought from Vesalia. But there was a LOT more than just a cd-case..

EAB seems to have a new troll - papa november

papa_november · 29 November 2008, 20:28

I really shouldn't complain, as SoftHut's price is mich higher even with the shipping.

I shouldn't make a big deal about the shipping either- Everyone does it, and it's probably the only way they make a buck on anything. Sorry about that.

thats cheap

13 US$ are 10 Euro
- 19% vat
= 8,40 Euro
- stamp 8 Euro
= 0,40 Euro for all other costs

Note that you are off-EU

I'd pay the same dough to ship to Switzerland. Hence most German sellers will not accept Swiss bidders. Some go moaning about "discrimination", but they live in a non-EU country, so if they want to complain they gotta emigrate eh

@andreas
Mostly I just buy beer from germany, you know us danes

Drive to Germany, fill your car with beer (mostly) and a little other stuff

papa_november · 21 December 2008, 10:24

I just noticed something - Vesalia's store software seems to use an old exchange rate when browsing and even calculating shipping, but it looks like it uses a more up-to-date rate when actually paying. Oops.

I just had a really crappy day, I guess. Won't happen again.

Dizzy · 21 December 2008, 17:56

Dont buy stuff from Vesalia. It's a crap company. I only got half my order, and when i tried to contact them they just ignored my, so that was a expensive amiga device I got...I will never use them again...

Very subjective post. Never had problems with Vesalia, plus they always answered my mails.

Yes, me too!

Bamiga2002 · 21 December 2008, 22:34

The ACard i ordered from them cost 53,9€ at the time, but when i had paid the order the price jumped to 85,9€! AFTER i had paid they send a sorry-email to me about the price:

(blabber)
"We have just noticed that we are selling those adapters below our own
price, which is certainly not a good idea." etc.

It's not MY fault they have a lower price in there and i've just paid it already. So i was a little pissed but will pay the extra amount to get that damn converter...

Is it too late to just cancel? You're basically paying CFPowerMonster prices for a run-of-the-mill ACard.

Bamiga2002 · 22 December 2008, 02:12

Thanks for the tip! I actually sent a cancellation message to Vesalia and used "buy-it-now" on Ebay. The amount 85,9€ is now reduced to roughly 31€ (incl. postage!) so i've saved a bunch of euros

Maybe i start hangin' around Fleabay more often...

Yes, I find a disturbance in the force. How they can justify an almost 50% increase in price is just daft... although if they can see a demand then greed has probably got the better of them
