| How to get it in Holland fast and cheap? |
|
As I said, I want the game badly (doh, guess why), but for some sick reason I happen to live in rainy holland  Does anyone know how I can get it in 7 days, while not spending less then 60 Euro (around 55 US$)?
Thanks a ton if one can help me here... |

Can't be done for $55...
I live in Holland as well and ordered it in the states. It will cost me $65.98
(that's 49.99 for the game and 15.99 for shipping and handling).
It will reach you within 3 to 5 businessdays from the moment you place your order though, so for about 10 bucks more you could have what you want.
Otherwise you could try your luck with a Germanbased store but they don't garantee swift delivery. (it's more like 1 to 3 weeks).
Anyhow, www.gamestop.com is the place where I ordered in the US and in Germany you could go for www.okaysoft.de
Hope this helped you a bit  |

Not sure I can help you with 7 day delievery 
Closest I saw was a shop in Canada - www.cdromshop.com
They shipped out all they had on the 2nd, with a 2nd batch due out on the 7th. Cost me about 60$US (90-something Canadian $) £40-ish here. Considering that's including the export/air-mail, that's incredibly cheap (about 10$US for delievery). They also estimate it'd be 2 days in transit. So I'd imagine anywhere up to 5 days before it gets to me. It'd take a similar time to get to Holland probably, considering you guys are just off our east coast.
And the 7th is in 4 days time as it is. 
My advice would be to have a poke around the lesser known US/Canadian retailers, maybe one of them has stock and can export for cheap. All the main retailers were charging anywhere up to 35$US!!! for delievery to Uk/Holland area!
Hope this helps.
Just hoping my copy made the shipment on the 2nd.... never before have I wanted a game this bad... *begins to sob*

Oh great, seems like I may not use my parents credit-card, and I aint got my own and unless I am mistaken, all international sites need such a card, and dutch sites dont have it until end of may. |

www.cdromshop.com is great, I order stuff there all the time
placed my order for MWD on may 29 ($59.13 including shipping), received a shipping cofirmation yesterday so it will be here somewhere early next week
for holland, shipping time is not so much the problem (2 days on average), it's customs at Schiphol Airport that can take up to a week |

Is this always, or in some cases with larger shipments?
I mean, its just a small box, why would it take that long?
I hope it won't take a hole week to check my package |

If you receive an anwser from e-toy, could you post it? (I asked too, but I want to know it FAST)
And the reason why airport checks take so long is because those guys arent in a hurry:( |

Well i asked this
DUTCH
Ik heb een vraag, is het PC cdrom spel Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind al uit bij jullie? zo ja , is het de limited edition?
I got a question, is the game Morrowind already released at your store, is it the limited edition???
DUTCH
Nee, hij komt op 16 mei uit en staat nu al op de site
Dus gewoon de in Nederland uitkomende versie
mvg Willem van der Does
Nope it comes out on 16 may and is already on the site, just the normal version.
16 may? while the other shop said 21 june....well i don't care...i ordered it from Okaysoft...it's the most cheapest way and its the limited edition...hopefully i get an answer soon from them |

Ok, thx. Just one more question, I looked at okaysoft.de, but I have some probs wth how shipping is handled. How much do they charge you, and do you think you need a credit-card (they mention lots of shipping ways but I cant figure out if that is for Holland aswell). I tried babylon, but the result wasnt that usefull 
So if you could tell me how you ordered it and what it costs I would be much obliged. |
