Question about HMV Internation Shipping and Steelbooks

[Chappps]

Hey forum peeps

I have dealt with HMV before, making single steelbook purchases at a time and just getting lucky with them getting to me in one piece, their shipping boxes are crap.

My question is, I just placed an order with multiple steelbooks in it and was wondering if they do different shipping boxes to accommidate more than 1 steelbook or will I get multiple packages?

Thanks ahead of time for your past experiences.

I have purchased mutiple steelbooks at the time & they always send them separately, so yeah you will receive them separately!

Unfortunately you have to pay shipping of £4.50 per item, which makes it expensive if you are importing multiple SteelBooks.

Yeah I did notice that, but it really didnt bother me. I was just hoping that since I was paying the shipping on each on, that they could atleast package the steels a little better.

I do not understand why they send them separately when ordering multiples. I have had 2 out of 5 or 6 damaged from them.

Well they both just shipped. I will find out in a week if they get here safely.

I will post pics when I get them

they´re shipping from the UK jersey islands.. technically Euroland but NOT part of the Euro customs union.. meaning everyone ordering from Euroland would have to pay around 20-30% customs fees/tax (+handling charges) for every order of more than 20-25 Euro (actual fees/amounts vary depending on local customs but they´re all more or less like that)
single orders of less than that are free of any charges....
that´s the reason all the jersey ratailers (play, thehut, zavvi, hmv etc etc) are shipping items seperately

oh I had no idea.

Thanks for that bit of info. I guess it makes sense when you look at it like that. Still wished that they would package with a bit more care. A sheet of bubble wrap can go a loooooooong way.

+1
I am waiting for the THIRD replacement copy for a SteelBook ordered last September.. it not only takes AGES because they always want all the damaged stuff back.. they´ll always wait for it to arrive before mailing out a new one... which always takes like 4-6 weeks... fingers crossed the 4th one will arrive in mint condition..
customer service has stated: "We specified the damage taken, asked our team at the warehouse to check it, and use extra packaging."

here´s hopin´

I received seven steelbooks in the last week from them. Ordered all of them a day before Drive was released. Each individual one in their own card board box. No damage to any of them. What a bloody miracle.

Impressed with the fast shipping tho.

Well I am hoping to get both of mine by the end of the week. Here's hoping they come in 1 piece.
