    Amazing price - these seem to retail at about 20yoyo for each season seperately. I might just be tempted :)

    It would be an even better deal if Play let us pay in sterling.

    Nice. Every single episode ever for 70 notes? can't be bad.

    Only just bought the full series at just those prices. But still don't think 20yoyo is that much for a full season.

    Now looking for a real cheap copy of all the Voyager series and I don't mean "copy" ;)

    Good price... but remember that from Play this may be stopped by customs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,463 ✭✭✭KTRIC


    I remember the original release of this and it was 5 or 6 hundred !!! :eek:

    Way to stick the 'fear' into the people waviering as to if they should get it or not.

    I've ordered from play.com for years, ordering things ranging from cables to an Xbox 360 HD DVD drive sent by courier and not once have I ever been charged a penny over what play.com charged my card. It is very, very rare and close to mythical occurence.

    The size of this package would be suspicous though ,compared to standard play orders.

    It happened to me last week.

    1 x Thunderbirds The Complete Series @ €53.49
    1 x Custom Docket (11.50 VAT + 5.00 clearence) @ €16.50
    Total cost €69.99

    My Xbox 360 HD DVD drive was bigger than a shoebox and it was sent by courier and no customs were charged.

    To add to that, I had a copy of Guitar Hero: World Tour bundled with a guitar sent by regular post (by HMV.com) a few weeks ago and nothing was charged on it, and packages don't come much bigger than that.

    I don't dispute that it happens, but it's a very hit-and-miss affair - it's very much mostly 'miss', and the few dissenting voices drown out the fact that it's not particularly likely, no matter the size.

    :) I don't work in retail and I'm not trying to scare anyone! I agree that it's mostly miss, but it's certainly not a "close to mythical occurence". See here in this thread we have one response that it happened to the OP?!

    Where does hmv.com ship from? Obviously if it's the UK or anywhere in the EU there are no customs issues. Play is different because it ships from Jersey which is technically outside the EU.

    Personally I'll buy from Play and others like them if the package is under €22, and otherwise I'll buy from Amazon or other EU retailers where I don't have to worry about the possibility (however small) of a customs charge.

    Currently £12.98 per season on Amazon.co.uk. That's only £90.86 which at current exchange rate is only €94.24.
    Not sur about delivery though, will have to check.

  • Registered Users Posts: 5,141 ✭✭✭Yakuza


    I placed an order on the 23rd, it was at status "Order Taken" for the last week, has just gone to "packing"...looks hopeful! Will post when (if) it arrives.


  • Registered Users Posts: 786 ✭✭✭center15


    Just got an email saying this has shipped :)


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 5,453 Mod ✭✭✭✭spockety


    Just ordered it now, says "in stock" on the web site.

    That is an unbelievable price for the amount of content you are getting.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,726 ✭✭✭qwertz


    When ordering from Ireland are you forced to pay their euro price (€69.99) or can you pay the euro-equivalent of their sterling price (£49.99)?

    Edit: Found the answer myself.


  • Registered Users Posts: 150 ✭✭themonk


    mine shipped today too .. fingers crossed this wont get stopped for vat:P


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,340 ✭✭✭Cmar-Ireland
