How to purchase steelbooks from foreign websites - Blu-ray Forum

NARMAK · 06-16-2012, 07:09 PM

Pretty much the title question. I know many members that have got amazon.fr, amazon.de steels etc and the one thing they all seem to have in common is a language that ain't english.

As such i cannot navigate my way through the whole thing with confidence knowing exactly what i'm clicking etc and this worries me somewhat because things like currency conversion etc are being asked and i'm not sure how to get past those stages.

My question is simple, how can i solve this issue and buy the steelbooks?

Thanks

google chrome translates pages automatically into english

Just noticed the awful spelling mistake in the title, maybe a mod could fix the 'foreigh' to foreign.

Chrome works great. I think IE you can do it with Right click Translate with Bing or whatever but you can have Chrome do it on the fly so when it loads it will translate.

Just downloading it now if it gives instant translations to me. I will attempt to try the bing translate button with the right click option somebody suggested though.

If you want to try the hard way I'll be happy to charge you a very unreasonable rate for some French lessons

Bobthesub · 06-16-2012, 07:23 PM

Another vote here for google chrome and its auto translate

Well, I'm a large hairy bloke from up North, I'm pretty sure that's everyone's fantasy

As to the delivery cost, yes it's €7 per shipment

I open 2 tabs. One is amazon.co.uk and the other is amazon.co.fr or amazon.de

I pretend to order something from amazon.co.uk step by step alongside the foreign amazon which has all the buttons in exactly the same position.

When I get to confirm order i just press it on the foreign one. It has worked for me many times.

Passwords and ID's are global on amazon except for amazon.jp (japan).

blurayisnice · 06-16-2012, 08:57 PM

Lol, are there still people using IE? Only thing I use IE for is downloading other browsers

.

But yeah, download Google Chrome, works also faster than IE and it translates website within seconds

.

I would but the currency conversion part threw it off for me so i used a google translate page to copy and paste the language in because it doesn't translate the protected page url.

Orders all done now and per requests downloaded chrome and translator is set to work on the fly now but takes a few seconds to do it which i'm fine with.

Can somebody who has used Amazon.de for UK steelbook purchase tell me if the 7 euro charge is applied to the entire order or just up to a certain amount of items please. Thanks

Engelskind · 06-17-2012, 05:40 PM

The shipping costs of 7 euros are unique - no matter if you purchase one or more blu-rays

Ok, thanks a lot for clarifying that for me. I just wanted to clarify that and make sure whether that was the case or a flate rate for upto a certain amount of products.

ran94 · 06-17-2012, 05:49 PM

What you can do is put a high number for a title in your cart and get to the last page and see what the shipping is. Start deducting and see what the shipping is. that is what i do from North America.
