  • Damn. Just bought Terraforming mars locally today!

  • Any other recommendations? I currently got Ticket To Ride - Europe, 7 Wonders, Pandemic, Carcassonne in my cart.

    • +1

      I think you've covered it. Maybe Saboteur if you're playing with your school-aged children.

    • +3

      Depends what you are looking for, but based on your cart:

      Kingdomino
      King of Tokyo
      Forbidden Desert
      Imhotep (Aussie-designed!)

      Edit: just checked prices against gameology - Amazon shipping kills the deal for most of the games… e.g. everything in my list except Imhotep.

    • +1

      If you want diversity to that cart, Terraforming mars or Dead of winter. If unsure, search YouTube dice tower + the name of the game.

    • I have all those games. Great games that I play all the time.

      King of Tokyo and Saboteur are also great games.

  • Was hoping for a cheaper Camel Up :(

    Ah well. Still a good sale, thanks OP!

  • +1

    Ultimate werewolf is fantastic if you can round up the players.

  • +6

    Postage adds a significant charge on top of the cost of the board games. Not really worth it when you buy 3 board games and shippings close to $50 AUD.

  • +1

    I bought a few board games, but as mentioned by @fossilfuel, the shipping does add a lot. It’s still cheaper than if you were to buy elsewhere but not by as much as you would initially think.

    I haven’t bought anything from Amazon before so I am unsure about how good their shipping process is.

    • +9

      Pretty quick. Get on live chat ND ask for free postage, for my first order before aug Amazon they offered me free post because I didn't know how to calculate postage and asked about it.

      Very happy customer. Aus Amazon is kinda hit and miss though

      • +2

        Took your advice and was able to get the ~$40 shipping fee waived.
        Happy to pay ~$75 for Photosynthesis and Tokaido.

        • Wait so you just asked for free shipping and they waived it?

        • I'm curious as well

        • +2

          @justmaybe:

          https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/contact-us/general-questions.…

          Clicked something else, then orders or something

          and yeah, basically was like "shipping to much, what can you do for me" and the guy waived it.

          I was asked to place the order first, and then he altered it on Amazon's end, so if you've already paid they might be able to still help.

        • +1

          Same here.

          Got my shipping fee waived by asking live chat :).

          Thanks, was looking to buy some board game just 2 days ago.

        • No problem mate.

      • Hi, where do I find the live chat option? Thanks!

        • +1

          1) Load desktop version of amazon
          2) Scroll to bottom of page - right hand side click "Help"
          3) In browse help topics, select need more help —> "Contact us"
          4) You'll end up on a page with your order history
          - Step 1 (optional) Choose your order
          - Step 2 select "Problem with an issue" & "Shipping or Delivery Issues" & "Incorrect Shipping Charge"
          - Step 3 select "Chat"

          5) Proceed to woo the customer assistant you get connected to!

          I just received a confirmation email with waiver of charge :)

          "Hello,

          I've waived the $86.61 shipping charge for your order.

          Once this is processed, you'll also be able to see a detailed summary here:

          https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/summary/edit.html?orderID=XXX-…

          We look forward to seeing you again soon.

          We'd appreciate your feedback. Please use the buttons below to vote about your experience today."

          (Thanks Chris from Amazon - what a champ)

      • I already paid, though I would like to give livechat a talk in case they can do anything about it. Like a couple of others, I'm wondering if you could help direct me to where to find the livechat option

        EDIT: I couldn't determine the livechat option based on the Wikihow, but got in touch with a call operator from the States, though they couldn't help me with the shipping. Was worth a try I suppose

        EDIT 2: Though thanks for the heads-up on their shipping being quick @Slipperyfish, I was a bit worried that it would take them ages

        EDIT 3: Livechat didn't waive my shipping but gave me a small promo off my next order, which is better than nothing. I appreciate that they gave me anything since they didn't need to. If the delivery process is good, I might buy from them again

      • That's awesome. Thanks for that.

        May I ask anyone who's purchased things off Amazon before, were you able to get the postage waived?

      • +1

        Good tip Slippery fish (name checks out???)

        Confirmation email after speaking to a few sales assistants eventually a leadership rep was able to waiver my fees (after I had already placed the order)

        "Hello,

        I've waived the $XX.XX shipping charge for your order.

        Once this is processed, you'll also be able to see a detailed summary here:

        https://www.amazon.com/gp/css/summary/edit.html?orderID=XXX-…

        We look forward to seeing you again soon.

        (Thanks Chris from Amazon US)

        • Looks like my tip saved 100s if not a thousand. Yay us.

  • +2

    Unfortunately shipping seems to be about ~20USD even for one item, so unless it's a higher priced boardgame (and even then) you're more likely to pay less using boardgamesearch.com.au and picking the cheapest option. At best you'll likely break even, except be waiting longer for shipping. Gameology has always been competitive price wise, and the delivery is pretty quick too.

    • +2

      Gameology has always been competitive price wise, and the delivery is pretty quick too.

      Agree. Their pricing is very good in Australia. If you're not based in Melbourne, their $10 flat rate postage is quite affordable given their products are competitively priced.

      In Sydney, I get my board games from the gamesmen. Occasionally they have reasonable prices.

  • +2

    I got 2 games worth $75 Aus before shipping off boardgamesearch for $60 delivered. Not the biggest discount ever but well worth it for quality games. Amazon delivery has always been pretty fast in my experience.
    If what you want isn't on here, buy from your flgs to support the retail stores that enable the hobby.

    • Unfortunately the only two local stores in my city are selling games for extortionate prices. I'm all about supporting local stores, even if it is 'slightly' more expensive, but when Catan and Pandemic for example, are each ~100 bucks.. I can't swing those sorts of prices.

  • +4

    Ordered Pandemic with Free Shipping.

    Depending on which rep you get with Live Chat it might take a little bit of canvassing.

    Amazon Live Chat Log

  • Terraforming Mars games - prices have gone up

  • Managed to get $60 USD shipping waived on a $198 USD order (Zombicide Base Game, Zombicide Black Plague & Wolfsburg, and Terraforming Mars at +$10 USD more than listed above - as $35 listings had all sold out).

  • Has anyone played dungeon roll?

    • Hi Aimon,

      Dungeon roll is a great little game - quick and works well with 2 players back and forth

  • Hmmm Teen Titans Go isn't on sale

    • And so is forbidden Island. Are any of these games actually in stock?

  • I did the Amazon live chat thing and they waived the shipping and give my order priority shipping so it will be with me in 3 days. That's some impressive customer service.

    • What did you say to them?

      • Dont worry found it.

  • Any idea how long the sale will be?

    Edit: I'm guessing it's just the day, but want to confirm if anyone knows.

    • a lot of them have gone up in price so I recon not for long

  • All prices seem to have gone up

  • +1

    ugh… all the games I was going to buy have disappeared from the sale. Saw them at home, travelled to work, went back on and they are gone haha

  • I got Dead of Winter with free shipping - thanks!

    • How did you get free shipping?

      • Dont worry found it.

  • Has anyone had their order shipped out yet? Bought 3 games with free shipping via live chat. No shipping emails yet.

  • +1
