European-based player, eager/desperate to get a hold of physical CE, but can't find it anywhere

Skayaq · February 2017

Just to add, even at amazon.de the physical CE for PC is currently unavailable, but you can pre-order it for ps4 or xbox1 or the standard edition just fine.

Amazon US posts to Norway at least, ordered it there the day after the announcement.

@Grotleren How much is the shipping and tax prises for import to Norway?

I sent a mail to every major game retailer in Norway asking if/when they get the collector's edition, so I'm holding off on pre-ordering from any foreign site until i hear back from them.

@ZOS_GinaBruno any chance we could get an update on the situation?

I am from Romania but I don't live there anymore atm. When I was living there, I used to order from both amazon.de and co.uk. Also other website from Europe with no problem whatsoever.
So if you find a shop from anywhere in EU you won't find any problems with the shipping.

Sweden here. Also been trying to find a physical Morrowind CE, but with no luck.

Gamestop has it listed as purchasable online only, and not in their Swedish store. I shudder to think of the shipping.

Any word on why I can't find it on Webhallen or any other of the big stores in Swe, Zenimax? I -want- to give you money.

Funny how zos ignore this thread.

I bet they believe the problem will solve itself somehow .

Yes eventually every copy of the collector's edition will be sold.

O you don't have preordered a copy?
Sorry is not our foult.

@ZOS_GinaBruno please adress this issue to someone who can give us an answer.

According to my order details it's $28.76 USD in import fees to Norway, which brings it too a total of 143.79 USD for me.

If they are as limited as the Fallout 4 collectors was i wouldn't wait... I ended up buying a second hand one (PS4 Version) off ebay from France in addition to buying a PC version so i didn't have to wait for it to ship from France lol.

Scandinavian retailers doesn't take inn much of these, i've tried to email retailers before but it's not much use as they can't really guarantee anything and you might end up waiting for no use.

Then ofc Fallout 4 received massive attention and hype at E3 just months before release, with one of the most awesome collectors ever made imo, so i doubt the sales could be compared idk.

If you're just as a huge fan of Bethesda like me, who has to own all of their collector editions and doesn't care much about pricing, (I own most of them including Doom and Dishonored 2 but missing the one for the original Morrowind still) then i recommend to order from Amazon or any foreign site as soon as you can before they're all gone.

Either that or buy the digital upgrade at release and then buy the statue without the game off ebay at a later date.

Edit; Sorry was looking at import fee. the game itself is 99 USD on amazon and there's $43.80 in shipping and import fees. Import might be slightly cheaper for some as Norway has really high rates.

Are you sure ordering the game from amazon.com is more expensive than ordering it onAmazon.de (setting aside the fact that the Art book is in another language)? Wouldn't you also have to pay higher shipping costs to Romania from Germany? I actually just cancelled my pre-order from amazon.de and pre-ordered from amazon.com. It's only 3€ more (and I will have to be patient for a few days after release, though I paid for expedited shipping), but I will get the English-language art book. Amazon.com lists the CE at $99, whereas the German CE sets you back 110€ (+ S&H in both cases), so the base price of the German edition is already at $118.

I'm basing my information on what's here in this thread. I'm actually going to double check this, now that I've updated my address (according to Amazon.com, it had my old address, which added a significant sum to the shipping. With my current address, I'm apparently eligible for free shipping???)

Stay tuned. I hope this works.

captainwolfos · February 2017

Okay so.

I checked out Amazon.com. The base price is $99.99, as we know.

Shipping to here in Romania, priority shipping adds an extra $60 on top of that, or you could go with the expedited shipping, which adds $34 on top. That's 2-4 business days, or 9-14 business days, respectively.

So I suppose it depends on how desperate you are to get it on the day. I'm probably going to go with the cheaper option, if I can convince myself it's truly worth it.

I probably will, because dat artbook.

And now to not eat for the next four months...

UPDATE: It's cancelled three times. Which is probably a problem my end rather than theirs, but come on.

Nope...
The problem as usual is lack of communication from zos...

MarkusLiberty · February 2017

Just got a reply from Gamestop. They said it is unlikely that they will get the Collectors Edition in any of their scandinavian retailers.

I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon. I guess should cancel my ESO+ membership for a few months to make up for the shipping charges

The bol.com will be English language. Already pre-ordered it.
