On one of the stickys " ToMI DVD Information" it says: "If you purchased Tales of Monkey Island, the DVD is free, plus the cost of shipping!"

That means the DVD itself is free, but not the shipping. You pay 0 for the DVD + cost of shipping.

I thought it ment it was free at first to lol it still looks like there saying its free + plus cost of shipping(meening shipppings added to free deal)

[rebel pk r]

ya that what I thought

[Scrawffler]

Yeah, you do have to pay for the shipping. But I can understand how that might confuse people!

I'm pretty sure somewhere it was worded differently, like: "when the DVD's available you'll only need to pay for shipping". Or something like that.

how much do you reckon shipping to the Uk costs?

[apenpaap]

I've seen prices named ranging from 2 to 30 euros.

how much do you reckon shipping to the Uk costs?
If it's anything like the shipping costs to mainland Europe - 11.23 USD or about 8.30 EUR at the current exchange rate.

At least that's what shipping the Wallace & Gromit DVD to Austria cost.

np: Autechre - st epreo (Oversteps)

since its free il proboly pay the highest post to get it really soon cos normal mail takes months (I ordered sam and max dvd once and it took so long I sent emails thinking it was lost in post XP)

Well, no idea where you live but Europe should take about 10 euro/days with the 'slow' service.

My experience with ordering something abroad and having it shipped is that it almost doubles the price compared to what you'd pay if the product in question would be on regular stores' shelves.

Of course books weigh more than one dvd, and have larger dimensions, so probably it won't be that outrageous in this case. But not matter what the transport costs are, it'll always beat buying a plane ticket to pick up your copy at the company itself.
