A) Even at 38quid, it's still cheaper than the shops.

I got a 28quid dvd boxset from play in the post yesterday morning and the VAT Nazis haven't broken down my door yet.

Fair enough - i got gears of war after a 2 week delay and didn't get done for VAT, but it does seem like a good number are getting done, so it is better that people know there is a chance.

Also, its unlikely to arrive by Christmas, if it is being bought as a present.

Fair dues on both points.

Where does the VAT and handling charge get added? I went right to the end of the buy process for Pro Evo 6 and it still shows €37 delivered.

"Play.com declined to comment but Dermott Jewell of the Consumers’ Association of Ireland said the Revenue Commissioners are simply enforcing the law, something they have not done in past years, and consumers must be aware that they should pay tax on items worth over €45."

From that thread - would then appear the GRAW and Pro Evo etc would be fine, as they are under the required price.

I haven't been caught on any recent packages (highest being 32 quid). But others appear to have been nabbed, even with packages in the mid twenties value range.

Era, I find it hard to believe that amongst the humongous amount of mail currently moving around, they'll be able to catch nothing more than a token number.

ha, had done a boards search and was just about to post that. Cool, so anything under €45.

Don't CDWOW send each CD separtely though?

edit: bah, just read the rest of the thread and someone mentioned my point above.

The guy from consumer affairs is wrong afaik, its 45 for gifts, 22 for non-gifts.
