Importing DS Games from US

Post by NEEMAN » Sat Jun 09, 2007 1:29 pm

Ok guys, I'm looking for some help. I've decided to import Pokemon Pearl as I've decided there's no way I'm going to wait for the ridiculous end of July European release any more. The thing is, I haven't actually imported a game since Lik-Sang closed, and they had been the people I always used.

Play-Asia won't ship the U.S. version to the EU, so I'm just wondering if anyone here can put me on to a good, reliable site who will ship it for me. All help would be appreciated. =)

Click me

Pearl for 20 quid delivered.
Hooray for Movietyme! That's my importing site of choice - most of my DS games have come from Movietyme.

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

Question: do they do free shipping? It's just I can get it from yesasia (I also asked on Edge forums, tee-hee) with free international shipping at basically the same price.

Never mind, I've just seen that it's fine, as it's free to UK & Ireland (where I live) rather than just UK.

Damn, I wish I'd spotted that! I paid £30+ for mine!

www.dvdboffice.com are ok for importing too, they are slow but the exchange rate for canadian dollars helps me be more patient than if I was ordering from a UK etailer.

Try and keep you orders below £17-18 to help avoid import tax and remember that the delivery qualifies for tax too so free delivery is important.

Already mentioned, but MovieTyme.com are superb. They can be slow sometimes (Planet Puzzle League was released on 6th June and my copy still hasn't shipped), but are very reliable. They shipped my copy of Pokemon Pearl asap (and was £17.99 at the time), and I received it 3 days after its US release. My last couple orders with YesAsia have gone walkabouts and they've had to reship them.

Guaranteed no customs with MovieTyme.com no matter how much you spend, too (YesAsia are the same, for that matter), so you can't really go wrong.
