Put me down for a Raiden IV LE

Yeah I figured as much. I actually kinda want one, but I haven't bothered w/a DR yet for it & somehow I doubt I'll get around 2 it lol. Still, excellent deal for anyone interested in shumps

I'd want Raiden IV LE too, except it's not available online you guys! So it's no help.

BTW Goombers I'd like you to make it very clear which websites you can get free shipping from, or you'd "rather" have us order from. I'm never all that certain whether or not you get free shipping from Gamestop, for instance.

Gamestop usually has some SAVER free shipping code. I think it might go down from time to time though? Not sure, I don't pay much attention to US coupon codes... Regardless, if it's not a superhot deal that'll sellout Goomba can just wander into his local Gamestop's at some time that's convenient for him. They do charge him tax though, and there is an outside chance that Goomba will only find gutted shelf copies (but he has a good eye for condition).

hey goomba,
I talk to the sell for shipping to canada and it would cost 20buck to ship it.
I dont know what's best @___@~~
um... should i bet it myself then~!?

Yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... . Goombmeistro, curiously, is my package in one bubble mailer or two seperate ones? Should be receiving it this week and I'm just wondering how many post trucks/mailmen I got to wait for :P

Guys I just got back home from work for the first time since 9:00 Am today (Loooooong day). The good news is I'm off tomorrow entirely, and working just my University job Monday/Tuesday which gives me lots of time to play catch up. I have almost 50 new Direct Requests to process so that'll keep me busy, but I'll try my best to get all your info and answers to your questions.

wizic, in that case it may be actually better just to have them ship it to you directly since they charge so much for shipping to USA anyhow. My feelings won't be hurt

I will type up a list of free shipping and such for stores and tax in a second. It won't be a complete list but will give you a good idea.

** GFC Shipping / Tax Rates for Store & Website Purchases **

Okay guys, I get this question a lot so I will do my best to answer it as simply as possible. Below are many common stores people order from as well as the information about shipping/tax in relation to them. Here it goes. This isn't a complete list but if you want I can add information at any time and can attach it to the first post if you like (as well as on the website). Here it goes:

* Best Buy - Charges Shipping (generally $3.00 per item unless the item is available in my local store, then they let me pick up in the store for free). Charges 6% Sales tax on all items except for gift cards.

* Gamestop - Free Shipping for MOST items using the SAVER coupon code, though from time to time this is not available (for budget games or new releases at times). They charge 6% on all items except for gift cards.

* Amazon.com - Free Shipping on all items that are sold by Amazon.com themselves (not including marketplace sellers, third party sellers or affiliate sellers). I subscribe to Amazon Prime which gives 2-Day shipping on almost all games, movies, accessories, books, CDs, etc. If it's sold by Amazon typically I will get free shipping and no sales tax. There's a reason we do a lot of shopping here! ^_^

* Wal-Mart - Free Shipping for all items that can be delivered to a local store (Site-to-Store Shipping). This is extremely slow (2-3 weeks or more at times) but it is free in most cases. Good for online sales that are not sold in local stores around here even though it often takes a while. Wal-Mart is somewhat strict about ordering multiple copies of things though so if something goes on sale they have been known to cancel orders at their own whim. They charge 6% Sales tax on almost all items except gift cards. Clothes under $50 USD don't have any tax in my home state of CT.

* GoHastings.com - No Free Shipping. Typically charge $3.00-$7.00 for shipping which varies. Most items do not have sales tax.

* Target.com - No Free Shipping and 6% Sales Tax on all items except gift cards.

* Gamefly.com - Free Shipping and 6% Sales Tax on all items.

* Toys 'R Us - No Free Shipping and 6% Sales Tax on all items except gift cards.

* Clothing Stores (Various): Victoria's Secret, Gap, Old Navy, Express, etc. - Sales tax charged on all items over $50 USD in value. My state of Connecticut (CT) has no tax on items under this amount. Shipping varies based on stores but typically is between $5.00 - $7.00 per order.

If you have any other stores you want to add let me know Thanks!

Just got back home, ate dinner and am back to processing DR's. The good news is that the next 3 days I'm not working at my casino job which means no overtime to worry about. I will be shipping out a bunch of items (50+ this week alone) so keep an eye out for your Emails and GYROS updates, DR updates and such. Also, I will try to photograph 100% of the new orders I get in to make my "What People Ordered" Section interesting I'll keep you updated guys!

goomba, does it make sense to put the tax / shipping information on the main GFC site? That way people don't need to remember what page of this thread it's on.

penetratingpincer, I will once I create a semi-complete list of stores. I want it to be a little nicer than just having a big thing of text (maybe an easy to read table or something). No worries. I'll do this soon enough. I'll at least tag this onto the first post in this thread in a spoiler tag now That should work for now.

Just do it as a spreadsheet, easiest way.

List of merchants on one row and list of shipping services on another.

You could have it up in half an hour...whenever you get half an hour to do something besides ship items, lol

Hey goomba, I got my invoice (#1000) and just sent you payment with both amazon gift cards and paypal.

'Lo Goomba. I noticed that your Direct Request robot-thing has had a few orders for Demon's Souls recently--where have they been getting it? I've been looking for a copy for around $40 for awhile now, but it's a tough game to find deals on. Cheapest I can find is from Amazon.com merchants which would come to about $45-$50 after shipment two times and service fee.

It's pretty hard to find this game below $50 brand new, even resale on used goes for $45 easy.

WillGabriel, the Robots thing (GYROS) features many different places. Some were from Amazon at Retail, others were from eBay and a few were used copies from Gamestop. But yes the price is almost always $45-$50 plus shipping so not many deals on this one sorry to say. Best of luck though!

hey goomba,

can u hold my funds until i can find some where to use it on LOL,

Thanks.

Yeah absolutely Wizic. I just applied the money to your GFC account so it's there waiting for you whenever you're ready. No worries Thanks again.

Goomba, package arrived today in great condition. Thanks once again.

Goomba, Last Rebellion just came in today, thanks. Too bad I won't play it probably for awhile only cause I'll be playing FFXIII & doing lots of HW in the meantime lol.

(& as always, appreciate the "thank you for your business" note you leave in every package).
