Help needed from US resident please.

Post by Jamie »

Could one of our members from the US please do me a favour?

Could you go to our Online Store and go through the process of selecting one of the items - can you let me know if it takes you to the UK Amazon site or the US one? Is the currency in $ or £? Does it look like the items are being sold from the UK or the US ie delivery from?

You don't have to buy anything - unless you want to! :-)

Please report back here.

Thanks in advance

The books show up as € on the HAVOCA website, but then show up as $ on Amazon. The stuff in the miscellaneous section show up as € on both the HAVOCA website and Amazon. There are distributors throughout the US, so it looks like they are using those distributors to get stuff to us.

Thank you for checking.

When you say Amazon, can you check if it is Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk?

Also, is it possible to see how much delivery costs.

Thanks in advance

Books take me to amazon.com and are in $. The shipping is free on the books I looked at, just have to pay taxes.

Miscellanious section is amazon.co.uk and are in €. The shipping looks to be from the UK and there are options ranging from Standard €11 to Global Priority €20. The more expensive shipping gets it there faster. Since I'm on the west coast of the US, Standard would get it to me between 1 and 3 weeks, and Priority would get it to me between 4 and 11 days.

Ive added some 'USA' specific links at the bottom in the Miscellaneous section. That should eradicate the shipping costs.
