Title: I am going to order 6 Arimaa sets (Germany)
Post by supersamu on Aug 15^th, 2013, 11:05am

Original Post:
--------------------

Hello, I am going to order 6 Arimaa sets. I do this because I am not able to get them from Amazon and I want an Arimaa set.
I obviously don´t need them all, so I would be happy to give some away.
The 6 games cost 78$ and 64,65$ for shipping, which leaves us a price of ~108€.
So to anyone who wants an Arimaa set, but doesn´t want to buy 6 copies at once, contact me and I will send them to you.
------
EDIT: I forgot to mention paypal fees and/or taxes and customs. I don´t think that is going to affect the price, though. As it turns out, I had to pay Customs. The cost was 21,58€. I will of course send you a quittance and stuff so you can comprehend the Price.
------

The price is 108/6= 18€ plus Shipping. (113,57+21,58)/6=22,525 --> 22€
The shipping is from Germany. As it turns out, shipping to Rmzna and to hippo costs 8,60€.

The sets are from Z-man Games and I am going to buy them from Omar, who buyed a lot of the packs when Z-man couldn´t sell them all.

I can´t guarantee if everything is going to be in the box, but If you want, I can open the box and look into it and make sure you get a complete box and I will sell the incomplete box for a reduced Price or keep them.
I will not sell the last complete box.

Boxes available: 0/5

You can post here in the forum or drop me a message, I don´t care.

-----------------------

All Boxes have been sold as of January 2015.

I am interested but why can't you guarantee that everything is in the box, what can be missing?

Do you accept payments other than paypal? I can transfer it to your bankaccount for free with IBAN.

I expect the sets to arrive in shrink. If Z-man games made some production errors about 5 years ago, you would notice it if you open the box now. But I don´t think that anything will be missing, I just wanted to be cautious about it.

I accept traditional money transfer as well.

Ok. Count me in. Let me know (gameroommessage or email) when I need to transfer the total cost (shipping to the Netherlands) to you.

When do you plan to order it?

I've sent an arimaa box from the UK to France last year. Due to the box being square (ie the second dimension being kinda big), I couldn't find a small enough container to use the typical post service, and ended up paying around 20 euros in shipping.

I hope german post uses slightly different standards, or that you'll find a better packaging solution than I did.

I payed for the Games on Sunday and Omar shipped them on Monday and recently they departed the USPS Sort Facility in Coppell, Texas.

Does anyone want to know the shipping cost before finally deciding if they want the boxes?

Yes, I would like to know the shipping cost :).
BTW: Where in Germany do you live? ... For the case I would go around ...

It is good to know if the shipping cost is extreme high.

The boxes have arrived and they are in good condition.
Sadly, I had to pay Customs (21,58€) , so the Price is going to be 22€ instead of 18€. (I had to send Omar 113,57€ to accomodate for Paypal Fees.
I will send out E-mails with scanned Receipts and a Paypal Quittance, so everyone can understand my Procedure.

If you mail/message me your IBAN (International Bank Account Number) I can transfer the money to you.

;D
My son (5.5 years old) and I played our first game with the new Arimaa set and he won.

He started a goal attack with E + R, I partially cleared the path, he pushed other pieces with his E and R behind it. I helped him to see the goal in 1, he saw a goal in 1 with 5 steps ;D

Yes, in good condition and without customs, as expected.
