no, Yes, SPR went OOS & OOP a while ago

I am surprised Forrest Gump, Transformers etc. are not OOS yet, those were released at the same time (I think so... well,correct me if I'm wrong

)

Aww man I wish I hadn't stumbled on this thread. Now Zavvi pillaged my wallet and 8 more steelbooks are coming my way. Living in the US, I have yet to deal with any customs dues with my previous smaller Zavvi orders. Has anyone dealt with customs dues for ordering 8 or more steelbooks from Zavvi?

I think they all get shipped separately so you should not have a problem with customs fees.

I am too, especially since I just bought them two from eBay. Luckily I did not pay too much for them.

What do you mean? Zavvi's located in the UK so you have to use pounds.

Jumpman 23 · 03-24-2013, 04:11 AM

Ok, thanx, it's just that it's my first time buying from overseas...

mrpink134 · 03-24-2013, 04:14 AM

I tried buying some stuff using PayPal and it wouldn't let me. Any answers why?

blurayisnice · 03-24-2013, 05:06 AM

You can't use PayPal if your account was not created in Europe, since Zavvi has a EURO and a GBP website, not a USD one.

I had the same issue when I tried to pay with PayPal on BestBuy. It said I needed a PayPal account which was created in the USA to pay with PayPal. I am here for my studies, I live in the Netherlands.

So that's probably the main reason.

And omg I just realized I can buy from Amazon US without paying custom fees.

pls pls pls let the Walking Dead S3 limited edition be released prior to August... omg omg... Is there going to be a Best Buy upgrade deal before August?

kg1 · 03-24-2013, 05:13 AM

Good thread!

I bought
Zulu steel
Forrest Gump steel
Man on Fire steel
The Untouchables steel
Transformers steel

jeffster15 · 03-24-2013, 05:40 AM

So if wanted to order 8-10 steelbooks they will all come separately? On the same day? Different day? Also how is their packaging?

henry00x · 03-24-2013, 08:53 AM

went ahead and ordered MIB trilogy steel and War of Worlds

you are in luck because i believe Upgrade&Save is happening in April, the Walking Dead S3 set likely wont be released until end of august tho, thats when the S2 set released last year

You should get them at the same time if they are all in stock even if they are shipped separately.

As for packaging well it's going to most likely to be the old crappy boxes.

Only Roger Rabbit and ALL future Zavvi steelbook releases are guaranteed to have the better and more secured packaging.

Shanester · 03-24-2013, 11:58 AM

Ordered:

MI 1-3
Shutter Island
Zulu
Cloverfield

At $17 each it's worth the risk
