Buying Xbox 360 Games from Amazon.co.uk

[Praemon]

Hi,

I've just received a £50 voucher for amazon.co.uk and I'm wanting to buy xbox games. Problem is they don't allow for shipping to SA (At least not for most things). Anyone know a way around this, maybe a good mail forwarding service?

Thanks

no way around it!
Unless you know someone in the Uk.

I haven't checked, but do the "market places" maybe ship to SA?

I'm afraid Kage is right. They will ship music, books or DVD's.

I think they might, however, it seems as soon as I try checkout, it sees its a game, and amazon stop it now the market place. Still investigating though but so far no luck.

go make some UK friends in chat channels and ask them to send for you

I keed I keed, I wouldnt trust 'em...

Now if it were PS3 games I would offer to help you out
I wouldnt mind helping you out, what u need to do is find out how much door to door mail would be and how you would get the money to send it across!

what about customs if say DHL/TNT send it over? I got some papers couriered over night with TNT and that R200 through Postnet.

i know you get myus aka access usa which gives you an american address and then ships here maybe someone knows one for the uk?

Well, I emailed a few places yesterday and they seem pretty reasonable. The one I found was: www.ukmailforwarders.com. They said they could do it for a £10 Admin Fee, then postage and packaging. Just waiting back on more info. As I don't want them coming to say postage will be £50 or something stupid like that.

Just to update this. I used a company called: http://www.my-uk-mail.co.uk
I paid for 1 month, £10, and the shipping cost was £10 (2 xbox games). I ordered from Amazon, sent it to the address they gave me. They repackaged and then forwarded to my postal address. Received it about 2 weeks later. They not the biggest company I found, but the cheapest. So I can recommend this as a way to get packages from Amazon.co.uk.

P.S. If you do use them, give me a shout for a referral before joining, as they give £5 to both the person joining and the person who referred them.

Send it to me, make sure it is a good game though and I will 'test' it for you and make sure it works
