The cost - an alternative route to buying

[DBeves]

Now this may only apply to uk customers ..

But out of curiosity I went to NWS

For him to ship the game (and this includes postage to UK is $77.98) ... at the current Paypal exchange rate that equates to £55 i just did this .... Now that is £25 less than if I bought from the matrix store

He doesnt charge VAT - and I have never paid import duty on anything he sent me..

Just an idea for those in the uk for whom that price may be more acceptable - and you get a physical copy into the bargain.

Whoops I've posted athread to...made it clear that it will help UK gamers in the title:)

I had a feeling NWS would be cheaper...

Now that sounds alot more reasonable, still more than Id like but heck If he can do it why the heck cant Matrix Games do it? I will check this out and thanks for the heads up [8D]

Because he probably shouldn't, but the business is small enough (unlike DR/Matrix) to slip under the EU radar. BTW folks, there's certainly nothing to lose and I've sent much business NWS' way in the past but don't rely on not paying the VAT from US imports, even when the retailer doesn't add it themselves. Sometimes games DO get picked up by Customs and you find yourself having to fork out the VAT to postie before you can get your expectant hands on the package.

Well, for US customers at least, NWS is a steal for this game. For the physical copy, it would cost you $100 to ship through matrix. NWS is selling it for $70 for the physical copy, and for us US customers it's only like 5 bucks for shipping so that comes out to $75. That's a steal. Yea you have t wait for it come in the mail, but IMO that's definitely worth saving $25. If I ever get this game it's gonna be through NWS.

Never bought anything from NWS....wasn't sure if they were a legitimate company....I might go that route instead.

Thanks!

NWS is legit.  Done business with them for a while already.
I can even reach the owner by email.
He is also willing to send replacement CDs if needed.

Only for their own stuff, not Matrix or HPS, etc.

I ordered CO:BFTB last Thursday & have just received an email from them with the following :_

I have 3 options for you regarding this shipment, (this is due to the higher value of the shipment at >$75 USD)

a) We will keep the customs value at $15. *** You accept the risk of a damaged or lost shipment. ***

b) ($20 Canada, $18 Overseas) additional shipping for express mail - trackable, rapid delivery, customs value $15.

c) Full value insurance coverage - customs value will have to match and you will be responsible for any customs fees.

Did you have an email like this ?

I've purchased several games via NWs over the last few years and received every one of them in good condition.

Do any of you actually play NWS games? Their SAS game sounds interesting but I can not find one review or any player discussion of their games by players. Are they any good?

I ordered this game from them Friday and have not got an email like this yet.

Navies at War simply is the best tactical naval wargame out there ... with one of the worst UI's you've ever seen.

Supremacy at Sea is a dud - for now - massive updates are planned - it's a detailed sandbox game with like a 500 page manual which unlike BFTB you *really* need to read.

Hi boatrigm.
you probably won't get one, I am in the UK & I assume DBEVE is as well.

I wasn't implying that NSW wasn't legit or anything else, just that I was curious that I had this extra to pay when it seems DBEVE hasn't.
