Hello, this might be the wrong sub forum, but Im giving it a shot.

I'm looking for a US (preffered) or a european retailer who is selling the Megaforces, Necron, Space Marine and Empire.
I'm looking for someone who would ship as gift, so that I could avoid paying costom charges, 25% of the price + a little bit more for something else.

If this is not possible, I am also interested in finding a US retailer who sells these Megaforces custom or no custom.

Sorry I was not clear enough.

I don't want to use GW because their website price is the Norwegian price, with costoms, if I want free shipping (This is where you misunderstood me) I have to use the Norwegian price and not the UK one. With the Norwegian price I have to pay 25% costoms, included the one in the GW price, making it 50% more than the normal price.

Edited my post upstairs to make it more clear.

One of the problems you will likely bump up against is that shipping from the US to any overseas location (barring APO) is extremely expensive compared to shipping from, say the UK to the US or even Canada to the US (it costs us about 3 times as much to ship a server from the US to Canada as it does for our Canadian customers to ship it back to us for repairs).

You may well be able to find a company like the Warstore or Miniature Market who is willing to ship to you for the actual postage though, and with discounts and what not it can end up being cheaper. The issue with proper stores though is marking it as a gift of course, as many will not do that in order to avoid coming up on the wrong side of a ICE audit.

Barring that of course, there is always the tried and true method of having someone pick it up for you and mailing it to you as a private individual.

Just a quick check at my postage charts looks like shipping would be around $60 or so from the US to Norway. That makes it a big lump to swallow for a retailer.

25%? I woul be happy paying a tax like that o.O

In Brasil we pay 6% over the product cost just to PAY it via Credit Card...

Them, we pay 60% when it arrive, and finally, we pick up the total ammount and pay extra 18% over the MODIFIED value.

That is why i never buy something that is not declared as gift... 25%? I would be glad paying that type of customs...

But i think GW is not lefting the megaforces to retailers, they are limited "direct only" products... :/

If my post show some BAD spelling issues, please forgive-me, english is not my natural language, and i never received formal education on it...
My take on Demiurgs (enjoy the reading):
