    I used them to get Animal Crossing for the Gamecube... back when it looked like it would never be released over here.

    And more recently I used them to get my Nintendo DS.

    I had no problems with them on either occasion. I'm not a big importer, so I'm not sure if they are the cheapest.

    dont use importmadness, they are cock nibblers. www.videogamesplus.ca are the future. 3 days by normal post from canada is the usual delivery time for them.

    saw that Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II cost 70 canadian dollars whats that in euro again

    I ordered KOTOR2 from Import Madness and had no problems, it arrived very quickly.

    I've ordered a few games from videogamesplus.ca
    The only time I had a problem was when they sent me NHL2k5 instead of NFL2k5, they responded to email very quickly and offered to pay all postage for an exchange, but I said that was too much hassle and talked them into letting me keep NHL and selling me NFL at half price.
    All in all they seem to have good service.

    Why not sign up for paypal? They can take money transfer from your bank account now in Ireland so you don't even need a credit card.

    i have similar questions. ie who does free delivery and who is the quickest/most reliable.?

    im gonna be gettin resi 4 and i think im getin it from liksang unless anyone can persuade me otherwise.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    Whatever you do, under no circumstances should you try and use dvdboxoffice.com... I think alot of us here have had some serious issues with them...


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,889 ✭✭✭evad_lhorg


    ok well my list so far is

    liksang(free delivery)
    dvdsoon
    videogamesplus(cant get onto the website)
    impostmadness

    anyone know if the others do free delivery? dvdsoon is the cheapest on RE4 so far. I need to get a free loader and i might get the chainsaw too. dunno anywhere except liksang that's doin the chainsaw

    Liksang's delivery are very slow, although I have to say their customer support is the best I've come across from any company in any environment, and they're well stocked.
    Videogamesplus.ca are much faster, I haven't used them in a while but I know last time I bought stuff there the currency exchange really favoured the euro which made them very cheap. Not sure if that's still the case. Not sure if this is down to the canadian postal service or just bad luck, but a few of the games i've gotten from Videogameplus.ca have had broken boxes(the middle bit that u press when taking the cd out), which can be quite annoying. Their customer support is also very good though.

    One site I have used is www.cduniverse.com which has served me very well in the past.


  • Registered Users Posts: 54,339 ✭✭✭✭Headshot
