saboteur Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I don't know Alberts logistics and actual sales in the UK, but could a AA-UK not be set up to assemble and sell carts ? Personally i'd love to see a digital download option - especialy with the advent of the gamedrive - but i guess that has it's own problems.

Happy for @BlueIn2Red to tag along with it if they want to spread the costs. The more the merrier on that front... Can I possibly jump in on this order? There are a couple of new games I'd love to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sixersfan105 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 My apologies if this has already been brought up, but what about if UK customers were to use package forwarding services? I've seen overseas buyers do that first-hand over the years when buying something from me on eBay, as I have my eBay settings such that I only ship to the US. Gotta figure that would be a solid workaround unless I'm missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta figure that would be a solid workaround unless I'm missing something. That is how I make most of my purchases in the US, as I am in South Africa, and the South African postal service can't be trusted regardless of whether the seller in the US is willing to ship here or not. It works well for me, but it's only really cost-effective when buying several items and consolidating them into a single parcel before reshipping. However that's because the only good options for sending to South Africa are courier options (DHL, Fedex) which are more expensive. For sending to the UK it should be cheaper and more straightforward, as one could reship using USPS. Not sure if this information is helpful at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_JaguarVCS Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 I’d love to place an order to! I’m mainly after Gravitic Mines but would pick up Dr. Typo Collection, Rebooteroids. I’ve checked Atari Age on eBay to as I’d be willing to buy that way and have them shipped to the UK but I don’t see them listed. I hope I can buy in the future, it’s super frustrating not being able to have a copy of Gravitic Mines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I can buy in the future, it’s super frustrating not being able to have a copy of Gravitic Mines. I'm still in contact with HMRC in the UK and we've very slowly been going back and forth as they request additional information. I'm hoping they approve the VAT application soon so I can once again ship to the UK, which is the second most popular international destination in the AtariAge Store after Canada. I do have Gravitic Mines, Dr. Typo Collection, and Rebooteroids up on eBay now. I don't have the Deluxe Edition of Gravitic Mines up on eBay, but will add that over the weekend. I have many of the other new games up on eBay as well, but not the Melody-based games for the 2600 until I am sufficiently flush with Melody boards (soon). ..Al 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari_JaguarVCS Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I just picked up Gravitic Mines via eBay for now as that’s the game I really want. Hopefully the VAT issue gets resolved at some point for us in the UK but for now I’m just glad I was able to purchase this game, if it arrives safely which I’ve no doubt it will I’ll pick up the rest of the games I’m after next month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the order! I am going to continue putting more games from the AtariAge Store up onto eBay and Etsy, as they are great avenues for attracting attention to the proper AtariAge Store, as well as the site in general. And I very much look forward to getting the UK VAT situation resolved, it's supremely aggravating for me. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take my money dammit! ? Yes, however, the store software I am running now does not have the ability for me to optionally offer sales to UK customers if the order is above a certain threshold. I wish it did, as at least then I could support larger orders without any manual intervention. But anyone who does want to place a $200+ USD order, please write me privately and I will instruct you on how to do so through the store. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Anyone who wants to place an order for $200 USD or more in the AtariAge Store, you can go ahead and do so by choosing "Ireland" as your shipping country, rather than the UK. Then leave a note when you complete the order that this is going to the UK, and I'll make sure the order is shipped to the UK (I don't ship much to Ireland anyway, so those orders will stand out). Anyone who has any questions about this can send me a message privately. You will need to pay VAT on the order when it arrives in the UK.

juansolo Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 It's the estimate shipping field, I get: Errors were reported while trying to calculate your shipping rate. Please contact us if they persist. USPS_INT: Missing value for Country. Might not need to put it in I suppose, if you choose PayPal it seems to go on from there regardless. I just have to hang on for Geoff to confirm his part of my order before I push it through anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
