GQ11 is one of a very few expansions that I miss. Some time ago I have found it on amazon.com.
http://www.amazon.com/Carcassonne-Game-Tiles-12-Count/dp/B008NDG1YA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1389644152&sr=8-3 (http://www.amazon.com/Carcassonne-Game-Tiles-12-Count/dp/B008NDG1YA/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1389644152&sr=8-3)
But unfortunately seller doesn't ship it to Latvia. I have some friends in UK, but after entering their address as a shipping address I've got the same: We don't ship to this country. It seems that they ship only to US.
Where else I can find something similar, I mean price and condition?
-
If not I make a mistake my friend has a copy for sale in the store, as soon as I hear him ask him how much money he wants, if the price is good you can send it to you.
-
I still have a copy for you if you need it.
Kind regards,
Kor

Thank you for the offer, but I already got his. My colleague's daughter lives in USA and she bought it and sent to me.
-
How much do you want for it Kor?
-
Someone on BGG is selling GQ11 for US$12.99. I ordered a copy a few days ago and it's been shipped.
Link: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geekmarket/saleitem/658143
Shipping to lower 48 [continental USA] will be $2.99, to Canada will be $3.99, to Europe will be $5.99.
-
It's still available on www.carcassonneshoppe.com:
http://www.carcassonneshoppe.com/Games.html
$10.99 plus postage. I'm pretty sure Ted ships internationally and will give you a good rate on postage if you contact him directly...

Welcome to the forums Koremu! :(y)
Try dropping Andrew the Ambo a private message. I'm sure he'll be able to help. :)

Thanks!
I'm going to do just that...
EDIT: Also, if it makes it cheaper & easier for everyone, I wouldn't mind redistributing in the UK so one package could be sent from NZ to keep postage costs down.
-
If its cost effective I would be interested. let me know when you have a price - I only want the tiles if that will make it cheaper.

I have 3 people in the UK interested and also SRBO. That may make it more economic to send a load to the UK to be distributed. I will need to order more copies, so will wait and see who else expresses interest over the weekend.
-
I'll order two copies if it makes it more viable!
-
I would also be interested in this if it makes things more economical as I'm still missing this expansion :)
-
i could in fact order 2 copies too
-
OK. I have got some prices etc.
I have the following interested:
Guy
Koremu x2
Decar x2
Rosco x2
Curt194
SRBO (seperate postage)
I have 3 options for postage.
Option 1)
If I were to send 8 copies of the magazine + tiles to the UK, NZPost will charge NZ$51. This makes each copy of the Magazine + tiles around $16.65.
Option 2)
If I send just the tiles, I can send up to 3 sets in each parcel, and the cost is NZ$10 per set plus $5.60 postage. I am restricted to 200g per "letter", and the magazine + tiles weigh 211g. Tiles alone weigh 54g.
Option 3)
If I were to remove the frame around the tiles, I could get away with a magazine + tiles as that comes in just under 200g.
Cost is NZ$15.60
So, what I need from you guys is agreement on how to send them.
I am thinking of Option 1, and sending 1 parcel to the UK. It means paying both myself for the magazines and postage, and then also paying the person in the UK to send them on, but if all agree, and can do options 2 or 3. This means you will not get a complete magazine and tiles. I will have to open each magazine up and reduce the weight.
SRBO, I am thinking you would be better with the last option.
If you can decide how you want them sent, I will get them on the way, once I have ordered some more copies. Also, I believe there is a limit at which VAT gets charged. Can anyone tell me the limit so I can make sure the magazines are under this limit ;-).
-
I like Option 1 the best, for the extra 45p postage + 74p for UK second class. But this might not be so good for SRBO. UK to Netherlands is about 2GBP.
Rosco am I sending you some home-made Russian Tiles too?
I've also got another Russian-Count box on the way; which will be looking for a home (Rosco/Koremu/Curt/SRBO?).
Perhaps I can bundles these together?
EDIT: VAT charges are usually pretty simple: If an item's VAT is less than 8GBP they don't bother collecting it (I want to check this value but can't find at the moment). VAT is 20% so items more than 40GBP are charged VAT. Then delivery companies charge an extra 8 or 12 for paying the bill for you as a handling fee.
Sometimes I have seen the calculation be made on item+Postage; not just the item - and it's very difficult to reclaim.
DO NOT mark the item as a gift - I was once stung for a BOOK mis-labelled and in the UK we do not pay VAT on books. I am not sure about magazines.
So using 35GBP as a good safety mark - I think that's about 77.9NZD.
-
Also for me the magazine isnt necessary.
how much would the russian box cost Decar?
i dont understand, the VAT thingies?
-
Re: VAT
In the UK we have a Value Added Tax (VAT), which must be paid on pretty much everything we buy. It's currently at 20%. When Andrew sends something to the UK from NZ, we are expected to pay 20% of the item's value to the UK Government. When posting the item he must declare it's worth eg: 100GBP. In this case when the Item arrives in the UK, H&M Revenue and Customs will declare that a duty must be paid eg: 20GBP. The delivery company will pay the cost and add an additional 8GBP for administration/handling.
So, if you buy something for 100GBP. When it arrives you'll pay another 28GBP.
Hopefully Andrew will be able to assign a suitable cost on the items we, who ever picks up the bill doesn't need to pay the VAT.
SRBO, I'll PM you about Russian Tiles, but I should give Rosco first refusal as he missed out last time.
-
I am happy without the magazine. So postage would be direct to me I guess or I can redistribute in the UK if that will work out cheaper.
Decar I will send a PM to you regarding the Russian count and the 2 tile mini.
-
If you still can, Rosco, I wish I had a copy of the magazine, I own two sets of tiles but not that.
-
I'm possibly a little late to the party, but if there are still copies of the expansion with magazine still available to the UK then I'd love to receive one. If not, or it's a lot of trouble getting more, don't worry about it. It's my own fault for not posting sooner...
-
Right, I've looked into this, and found that VAT is only charged on imports into the UK of £15 or more (source: http://www.dutycalculator.com/help_center/Import-duty-and-taxes-explained-in-a-nutshell/)
Because NZ$9.99 is UK£4.48, I can import 3 without having to pay any VAT (cost of postage is ignored).
As such, I'll have to import the 2 I want for me and a mate, and can handle 1 more if anyone wants me to, but it'd be more hassle than it's worth dealing with customs for more than that, sorry :(
Failing that I might import 3 and bank one. I'm sure someone will want them in trade, some day >:D

https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty
£15 including Postage And Packaging it seems.
OR £36 for a gift it seems.
but:
Magazines: https://www.gov.uk/rates-of-vat-on-different-goods-and-services#printing-postage-publications---books-magazines-and-newspapers
0% VAT
-
Ho hum. That'll just be 2 sets then. I'm not sure if just importing the tiles still counts as a magazine.
-
Seems like there's three groups:
Only want Tiles:
Koremu x2
Rosco x2
SRBO (seperate postage)
Wants Magazine:
Decar x2
DanisThirty
To Decide:
Curt194
Either
Guy
-
If it's cost effective I'd like the magazine and tiles.
-
Thanks Guy, I think I slipped you into the Tiles category. I think its safe to say: it's cheaper for the individual to get just the tiles vs the the tiles with the magazine.
-
Well from what Andrew says you can have magazine and tiles for the cheap postage rate as long as you don't mind having the tiles loose without a frame.
Personally I'm not bothered about the magazine (I don't think there's much else of interest in it), but I *really* don't want to have to deal with the bureaucratic tangles of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise C:-) if I can possibly avoid it - hence, keeping it below the £15 import limit.
-
That was my point regards customs.
-
My final answer is this: Magazine with tiles but no frame. This means cheap postage and can be classified as a magazine for customs.
I am happy to receive this individually from Andrew or via a UK third party but in light of all the variations and cost implications it may be easier and cheaper for both Andrew and me for it to be sent individually...
Correct me if I'm wrong.
-
Can't hurt to ask, but if available still, how much would 4 copies of unpunched tilesheet (without the magazine) cost to ship to Sweden? I.e. What would I have to pay incl. shipping?
If only 1-3 copies available, how much that instead?

Paul
From the prices he PM'd me before, the shipping would go from NZ$5.60 to NZ$17 if the package goes over the 200g limit.
So it'd probably be cheaper to do 2 separate packages than do it all in one!

1. Sure, why not. How much would it then cost too have 4x unpunched sheets shipped in two letters, incl shipping?
Update: How much wouldt the total cost be for 4 copies of the magazine, 4x tilesheets unpunshed and shipping be? Preferrably sealed.
Paul
-
OK. I need to think about ordering the packs.
What I have so far is:
1 Magazine only. Postage will be NZ$3.60, magazine is free as I will have spares (I hope the others do not mind)
Quevy
1 Set of tiles only posted to each person $NZ15.60
SRBO
2 Sets of tiles only posted to each person $NZ25.60
Rosco
Paul - You want 2x above, so NZ$51.20
3 Sets of tiles only posted to each person $NZ35.60
Koremu
1 Magazine and Set of tiles with no frame posted to each person $NZ15.60
Guy
Multiple packs
Danisthirtyandverythirsty and Decar, PM me how many sets you want.
Curt194 - You need to get back to me.
.
That is 12 sets, excluding Curt194, Danwillbeforty and Decar.
If you are happy with this, can you PM me your address and pay to my Paypal to confirm. I will PM you my account e-mail separately.

*quick calculation* that's £14.98, which is just under the tax threshold... at least today? I think.
Let me check that.

Does PayPal let you choose what currency you wavy to pay in? I have not used it to transfer money, only to pay things like Cundco where the currency is preset and just pops up.

Yes. People can specify the currency and amount to pay you when they make the payment.
It may also be worth specifically requesting that people pay you using the "Friends and Family" option rather than the "Goods and Services" option, otherwise you will end up paying the PayPal fee and won't get the full amount of money.
-

Keep in mind - PayPal is cracking down on this, and closing/imposing fees on accounts that are doing this 'excessively'. Four of my artist friends that take commissions have had fees of $100 imposed on them for breaking the rule. :(

I think it depends on how you use it. If none of us make any profit, then it really is a friend and family payment. All those years I've had PayPal never has this occured. But I should also mention that things may have changed. The split between PayPal and eBay for example.
This year alone I've used Friends'n'Family as a receiver and haven't had any issues. I've also sent payment almost this many times totalling the amount of a few hundreds of USD without any issues.
Hope this settles the ease! :)

I would agree Paul, this is not someone making a profit it is a forum friend helping out other forum friends

Hello friends.

You could always arrange to adopt, then we would be family :@

aren't you a bit old for that?:P

Hello friends.
I'm delighted to consider Andrew a friend, just as I am with the majority of people on this forum. However, it could still be argued that we're contravening PayPal's policies or what have you because we are still paying for goods/ services (well, certainly goods in this case anyway).
However, when you're paying for goods/ services from a friend/ family (not ruling out us collectively being adopted by Andrew depending on whether we deem all the paperwork and legal costs to make this worthwhile) you're in both camps quite legitimately so it isn't clear which method you should use. For this reason I say we should stick with Plan Alpha and pay Andrew as our friend (and potential family member)...
-
Why does PayPal care? Do they not get the same commission, the difference being which end of the transaction ends up paying the extra.
-
What? goods? we are collecting money to go paintballing in this summer right?
-
I will sit down tomorrow and start sorting out who has paid etc.
-
Hi all,
I've been away so not at all active and completely missed all this! Am I too late to join in on this at all now? (Understandable if so!). Also Decar I might be interested in that Russian tile if it's still going?
I'll PM you now Andrew.
-
Curt194, all the details are posted earlier in the thread. Tell me what potion you want and I will give you my Paypal login.
-
I have ordered the expansions. There is a delay of about a week as they did not have sufficient in stock but apparently the distributor has plenty in New Zealand. I will let you know when they arrive.
-
I'm happy with just getting the tiles :)
Will it be easiest for you to send directly to me or send mine to someone else in the UK getting some who can then forward on? I'm happy with either arrangement but I can't work out which will be the most cost effective option for your postage.

I will send them direct to you. NZ $15.60 for the tiles without the

Enjoy and let me know when they arrive. 3-10 working days is the delivery target.

Mine have just arrived safe and sound thank you

Why does PayPal care? Do they not get the same commission, the difference being which end of the transaction ends up paying the extra.
Worth noting that if you're paying friends and family, it's harder to file a claim against the seller if your stuff never arrives. Not that that's likely to be a problem here mind.
-
Got my two packages with the four GQ11. The frame had barely visible signs of being bent and that's ok for the tiles themselves had no damage.
Thank you for this! Perfect timing as well for my project I will be starting to prep for tonight when I get home. Merit given.
Paul.

I never thought to get it either but so glad i did. Great tile kombos they will always be part of our games.

Guy and Quevy. Just waiting on you guys before I can let out a huge relief. Everyone else had confirmed receipt of their tiles.

Mine has arrived safe and sound. Thank you very much Andrew!

I have received today, thank you very much Andrew!!!

Awesome. As I see it, everyone has received their goodies now.

Hello, is it still possible to get this magazine?
I'm new here and I really want that magazine too, could you help me? I live in Brazil and I'm interested in two magazines, complete, with the tiles. My postal code is 29015-000.
Thanks in advance! :)
