The long travel of the imported games ...

MrSabu · Jan 1, 2005

Will UPS be sending the packages about before tuesday? Mine is in HK and i'm just wondering if i have to wait until then for things to get moving again...

OPM · Jan 1, 2005

Mr P · Jan 3, 2005

The rest of the world is back at work today! .... why not UPS delivery men? especially as they are being paid all that money to show how efficent they are supposed to be 👎

Oh well ... I'll bank on it for tomorrow now :indiff:

You shattered my day now :dopey:

I was on red alert every time I heard the gate go in our front yard :sly:

Tomorrow ... back on red alert mode

Barnabas · Jan 3, 2005

Woo-hoo, should be getting my copy of GT4 tomorrow! I hope I hope the UPS man comes knocking

Jules_r · Jan 3, 2005

I was really hoping the UPS man would have my copy on Friday, Fingers crossed it will arrive Tuesday !

MrSabu · Jan 3, 2005

I just got mail back from play-asia saying it should be about a 20 quid import charge...ouch

Coyote · Jan 3, 2005

I have solved the mistery on why it took 4 days for GT4 to be delivered by UPS from Geneva to my town, only 120 km away (around 75 miles).

But now, it's in my hand, well quite...

Damn chimpanzee :grumpy:

Happy New Year 👍

granturismoman · Jan 3, 2005

I have ordered from www.play-asia.com too
And I hope it will arrive in this week !!!!

VV · Jan 3, 2005

Cheers, Coy. :cool:

camaro454 · Jan 3, 2005

mine is in chicago. hopefully it will be here tuesday, which is my first day off

Mr P · Jan 3, 2005

£20 on top wtf??? working out to be as costly as buying 2 games ... BAH!!

hidden charges should be stated on the actual order and not on your doorstep upon reciept 👎

Barnabas · Jan 3, 2005

woot, just got my copy right now! Now I need that stupid modchip to come in so I ccan get playing

How is it hidden (I take it you dont import much)...

UPS (they charge you a fee so that you get the package faster by paying the duty)...

If you didnt use UPS, you have to pay duty on it anyways...

Arwin · Jan 3, 2005

UPS always gets checked by customs, as opposed to regular mail which only gets sampled. Therefore you have a very good chance of evading import tax by the cheap send method. Notice that I say evade, you're supposed to pay this tax anyway of course.

In fact, UPS used to get delayed every now and then because their van got checked but now they register every package at customs beforehand, even before the package is in the plane - you can see this in the tracking page. This is how they can be so fast.

GT3Ruler · Jan 3, 2005

My Chinese GT4 Shipped from Hong Kong On Dec. 29 2004 using Global Priority Shipping through Lik-Sang. How long do you think it will take from the ship date to arrive on the east coast USA. And what day do you think I should expect my eagerly awaited GT4. Thank you for any help.

Mr P · Jan 4, 2005

Ok now i'm sure today is the day

Hmm, so it arrived in the UK today.

I'm hoping mine also arrived, but to be honest i've got no idea because i'm at work. Although at least it will sorta distract me from waiting for GT4 I suppose.

Keep us posted if you get it today

KSaiyu · Jan 4, 2005

Today should be the day for both of us Mr P

Seeing as how mine didn't get delivered on Friday even though it was "sent out" I might be able to re-claim the £20 like last time.
