may I ask how?
and according to Amazon UK converter, GBP40.00 = AUD$63.86
do you do the conversion through your credit card?
Being a bargain nut, I don't buy anything from overseas without my 28 degrees Mastercard, best international card ever and it meets my bargain nut price of free!
As for how to get refund, Amazon is known to provide refunds for stuff you just bought from them and it falls in price in say a week or two. To keep you happy if you ask they tend to refund you the difference.
Happened to me a few times, just email their contact returns area and they even give you difference back straight to credit card instead of say store credit.
Its almost mandatory for ozbargain membership, to have a 28 degrees card for os purchases, but suggest you change the title as it can be a misleading for those who have yet to see the "light".
Maybe in text you can advise how to save the extra 2.86 that david indicates.
But it's your call
Yeah I got my 28 degree back when it first came out as a Wizard card, traveling overseas with it for few years now its brillaint, cause you can put AUD cash on it and use at ATM, get charged only FX best rate of the day.
I hope so. I ordered this last night for 57 quid and it said it would be shipping on the 5th.
+1 for the 28 Degrees card.
How do you get Amazon to take of the VAT?
Edit: I see, it got taken off when I took the purchase all the way through to the final step.
Bought 2 copies for Christmas presents. Also used my 28 degrees Mastercard. I hope it gets delivered on time.
Thanks OP!
damn…. so many suggestions for the 28 degrees mastercard so I went online to see what's doing.
GE MONEY :(.
These clowns worse than Citibank.
Be that as it may, the card has no annual fee and no foreign transaction fees. So it's a winner in my book.
Good price, what do people think are the chances of receiving it before Christmas though (3 weeks is usually do-able, but don't know with Amazon)…
i've received amazon uk goods in just over a week from ordering…. they can be very quick. but xmas post delays (and amazon probably being very busy atm) you'll be pushing it. maybe a 'backup' local present just in case? ;)
Check who it is sent my. If it's "Royal Mail" then you'll get it in about 10 days (maybe longer then closer you get to Christmas). If its sent from Germany is when you get the problem.
I ordered "The Pacific / Band Of Brothers - Limited Edition Gift Set (HBO) [Blu-ray][Region Free]" on the 16th of November and got delivered 7 days later, just ordered "Harry Potter complete 8 film (blu-ray)", cross fingers it takes another 7 days. Do Amazon UK work on the weekend??
Purchased previously with my AMEX - So thankfully I can get the discounted return
I asked Amazon about the price drop though and this was the reply.
Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk
I understand from your email that you want a possible refund for the price difference from your order.
I have checked your order #202 which was dispatched last December 1st, 2011 and the price during dispatch was £50.97 - vat =£42.48
I took the original amount from the email you got when the item was dispatch.
I have checked that the price of the item in the website did decrease to 48 GBP.
Unfortunately we don't make any refunds for a price difference of only 2 GBP but would refund if its 10 GBP or higher.
Hope to hear from you soon and thank you for shopping at Amazon.co.uk.
good to know, thanks mate.
I posted the previous deal on this item, and also took advantage of it myself, and I feel kind of bad about it now, both because others purchased because of my post and didn't get the best deal, and also because I didn't get the best deal either.
But I guess that's one of the perils of bargain hunting - there might always be a better deal just around the corner.
And even though it's only a £2.48 difference (plus any exchange rate differences), it still gnaws at me. I fully thank OzB for making me this way :)
hey…. dont feel bad!
ok it's now 2 pounds less, but even old price is still a great bargain compared to what you could have paid for it.
What you say is true. I was angry when I missed the Big W deal for $79. When I saw the first one of this I ordered within 5 minutes :)
Exactly. I saw it for $140 in JB today
Just think of it this way, you paid £2.48 to gaurntnee to get it before any of us!
Fingers crossed it comes by Christmas but being Christmas there always delays in post.
You may be right. It was definitely sent out via Royal Post, and it did say on the checkout page that the item would arrive before Christmas. I've actually just received an order (a Sunday delivery!) that was dispatched on the 27th (also via Royal Post), and the Star Wars box set was dispatched on the 28th, so it could be here as soon as tomorrow!
Long live the Original Trilogy!!
(without the recent changes that stuff things up)
Just got an email from amazon, its been dispatched already, thats less than 18 hours from ordering.
Does anyone know where i can get this from within Australia who offers a really cheap rate? I'm a bit scared of buying it so close to Christmas and don't mind paying about $75 for this within Australia, but everywhere i look they have all gone up to $100+ now. Think i missed the cheap opportunities :(
Have you checked Big W?
Yip, went in there yesterday, +$100 :(
I have decided to 'just do it', great price, and i bought the Friends box set from Amazon last Tuesday and received it today, so thats all the evidence i need that this should arrive in time.
JB HIFI was offering a little gem. With 20% off you could have bought this Star Wars Boxset for only $111.99. What a choice, pay JB HIFI $140 (20% off has finished) or pay www.amazon.co.uk approximately $63. JB HIFI you have done it again!
lol thats funny !
Just had it delivered to my work place today. Woot woot!
it's already £67 today.
it's already £67 today.
Got mine today :) AWESOME!
Those who bought from Amazon UK recently can prob get a refund on difference.
