gte206w Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 i received mine today too, the shipping box looks exactly the same did you try asking for an extra discount? i never asked but all 5 vampire castles came crushed, so im thinking it would be great if i could ask for a discount The first order, I had them send replacements (which like I said, came better...but not good, still). It was too annoying to deal with, since I had to front the shipping and they'd refund it. So, for this second order, I just mentioned I didn't want to return or replace, and they offered 20% discount to keep them. I took it but I am still not happy and will not roll the amazon.co.uk dice again Quote
Brick625 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Just finished chatting with amazon.co.uk, i actually had to bargain with them, they offered a 10% refund - i wanted 20% - so we met in the middle at 15%. I am still waiting on couple more orders to arrive, but after this im done with amazon uk Quote
Guest AnnexBrett Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Mine are on the way! So shall I start worry about it? as I posted in another thread, I received worse ghost trains from a local department store which was shipped from the other side of the city! They just don't care...I also have some currency discrepancy at amazon.co.uk. I have been charged in Pounds but the invoice says all currencies are in EURO. If I convert the difference to CND OR USD, its pretty significant. Quote

For example, 45.83 EUR and 45.83 GBP on the two separate invoices. Makes a big difference, as you said. Quote
spener90 Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Attack of the Wargs is 40.37 right now? Anyone think this is a good deal? Quote

According to me its rughly $40 difference on their gain. I am done with this site too. Quote
redeemed763 Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Attack of the Wargs is 40.37 right now? Anyone think this is a good deal? It is $39 now, that is a great deal unless you are one of the magicians on here who consistently buys all the sets they want at their local store for 50-90% off. Quote

Amazon.co.uk is based in the UK so their prices would be in GBP, which is what they should be charging you on your credit card regardless of what the paper invoice says. They wouldn't be charging you in Euros unless you ordered from Amazon.fr or Amazon.de or another site where they use the Euro as their currency. Unless somehow their invoices were printed somewhere else and the product wasn't shipped from the UK. I ordered a Technic Helicopter in January from them and was charged the quoted price in GBP on my credit card - I didn't pay attention to the paper invoice though. I just ordered 2 of the Vampyre Castles, I will take a look when I get them Quote

I just ordered 2 of the Vampyre Castles, I will take a look when I get them I wouldn't call it an issue, but the other poster's point was that if you take the same number and slap two different currency symbols on it, one will usually be equivalently cheaper than the other. In this case, the paper invoices show that number with a Euro and the web invoices show it with a GBP. Given the two choices, one would prefer the number as Euros to be charged to the credit card since it is about 20% cheaper than the GBP would have been. Quote
