Lual Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 lo all need some advice / help re: MVP2005 - tbh i think only UK members may be able to help, but anyone who knows, give me a shout. anyway, ive just emailed EA asking them if they will ship the game to the UK for release on March 1st - still no response as of yet but i was wondering if any fellow UK members know of any UK stores / online retailers who will be stocking this game? the reason why im restricted to UK, is that i dont own a Credit Card (wont touch the evil things ) but have a debit card instead - pretty much ruling out a US retailers of the game. feeling a bit down about the situation tbh, really looking forward to this game, and have already sorted my dynasty stuff out, in preparation for posting yet i have only a slim chance of getting the game, if that cheers for all help offered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddy Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'm sure you can use your debit card at outpost.com. I'm pretty sure they ship to the UK. www.outpost.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitoon Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 I'm sure you can use your debit card at outpost.com. I'm pretty sure they ship to the UK. www.outpost.com This topic was raised at another board I frequent, and it was discovered that www.outpost.com will ship to the UK. They charge $19.99US for shipping and $19.99US for the game, so around $40US total, which apparently is quite competitive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpup Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 a debit card works anywhere a credit card does, for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lual Posted February 14, 2005 Author Share Posted February 14, 2005 cheers all ive emailed both ebgames & outpost - so hopefully they may be able to help i have a switch/maestro debit card, which isnt listed on either companies site, so it may be a no go my next option is to swim the atlantic - if i start now, i may make it for march 1st :wink: :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The H Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 i have a switch/maestro debit card, which isnt listed on either companies site, so it may be a no go What about Paypal? can you use it? maybe one of us can get the game for you and ship it to UK or something like that... I don't know... just an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know... just an idea. i suppose that is an option - but then, none of you know me and vice versa - ive not got a paypal account, so dont know of the security of one?? not heard back from either EA (who said 24 hour response ) or either EBgames or Outpost :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamasutra Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 ive not got a paypal account, so dont know of the security of one?? if you have paypal, and can wait till the release date, you can order on ebay and will probably end up paying less in price & shipping since you will most likely find some offers based in U.K. Y You might also end up getting the game the same week where as US shipping for you could take 8-10 days or more I've bought over a dozen games on ebay (actualy all my games for the pass 6 months) and it hasn't failed me yet & sometimes at amazing prices... Just my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lual Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 oh well - heart broken EBgames wont ship to the UK, even if i had a Credit Card EA told me to check out EA.UK, but they have no intention of releasing the game over here so all i can hope for is - a UK person imports it and sells it on ebay or Outpost come back to me with some positive news :? a broken man :cry: any other UK members on this site, with a similar problem?

MarkB Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 I'm with you, Lual. I'm from Glasgow, and I don't know of anywhere that will ship it here without a credit card. I could get it because I do have a card, but I don't think I'll bother. It will turn up somewhere, and if worst comes to worst, I should be able to get someone I know in the USA to ship it over to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamasutra Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 on ebay you have what they call online stores... some are based in europe. Basically they are distributors of games, they have the stuff shipped to them from the U.S. etc.. then sell it back most often at good prices. Like I said, check around the release date, you'd be surprised. best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
