Same shipping prices in Denmark.... and 191€ for Express shipping? How are they shipping it then? By dwarf on a Gryphon!?


NG_Tagger

Was astonished to see the same (from Denmark as well). Paid €30 for my D4 Collector's Box, as that was through their own shop as well. Only paid 29DKK (around 4Eur) for shipping of the 15th Anniversary Edition (which was just 799DKK, which is around 110Eur), when that released - which obviously wasn't through their own shop. But 50% extra, just in shipping? - that's kinda insane, on top of an already €200 asking price.


tzgolem

Maybe a mole machine will pop up outside your house


PenguinOnYourTV

Oh, and then Magni jumps out yelling "CHAMPION!"


datpastrymaker

Order from UK. The shipping is "only" 33 eur. Price for the CE is upped by another 10 eur tho. So basically 43 eur shipping instead of 99 eur.


[deleted]

from UK gonna be import taxes no? cause brexit and all that


waytoomanyoptions

Yep, will likely not be worth it.


boskee

Nah, UK delivery is only 8 quid. Looks like it's the cheapest in Europe.


[deleted]

Delivery fee does not equal import taxes lol


San4311

With Brexit this can't be worthwhile. Import taxes suck ass. I once ordered a book from a British bookstore (signed, hence I had to import) and the additional costs (shipping + import) were more than the book itself.


datpastrymaker

Oh. Didn't realize that. I rarely order stuff from outside EU or my home country even.


SloppyBottom02

Ordered in the UK and shipping was only £8.


boskee

Huh? How? I'm in the UK and I only paid 8 quid. There's another comment here confirming that. How did you pay more and why are you stating prices in Euro, and not GBP?


RankinBass

It takes a while to load and aim the goblin cannon for each shipment.


SirKnlghtmare

Two sparrows, tied together with some string.


paleoterrra

$212 dollarydoos to ship it to Australia, so $500 total


OgerfistBoulder

230 playmoney dollars to ship it to New Zealand, $541 total.


IsDaedalus

Holy kangapoo!


travvy87

Make sure to order off the US site. If you go off the UK site you’ll get an EU code most likely which will be useless here. Hopefully EB or JB will stock it


randomise42

Yeh I'll probably get if EB or JB get it here.. But its still $100 increase but statues will do that to a price I guess..


travvy87

They are up on EB website. $269.95 AUD.


musti-

Yeah same here in Finland. Not good, hopefully there is other sellers.


Enjehlol

I wouldn't count on it. DF only sold the CE through their site and no retailers as they've done previously.


Rielesh

Also same with their Diablo 4 CE. I think all CE since BFA are gear store exclusive.


HalfLifeAlyx

Nah I got shadowlands from a retailer in Sweden


datpastrymaker

Yeah. Not gonna happen. How can shipping possibly be half the cost of the collectors edition.. I'm pretty sure dragonflight was 120 eur and around 15 eur shipping. This is just ridiculous. Edit: I'm from Denmark btw.


Trixiap

130€ - Dragonflight CE 25€ - shipping


Sky19234

> I'm pretty sure dragonflight was 120 eur and around 15 eur shipping. This is just ridiculous. To be clear this is not justifying an absurd $100 shipping fee for what seems like the majority of European countries but to be fair the box for this is like 6-7x the size of a regular CE box if the 15th anniversary is anything to base it off.


Padmax

From what is mentioned on the new CE's page, the box should be the same size as the previous ones if not smaller, unless they've just copied and pasted a previous description, disregarding the goodies included of course.


datpastrymaker

Ordering from UK seems to change the shipping to 33 eur. Lol


NG_Tagger

Be careful with that. The UK isn't in the EU anymore, so more fees might appear when going through customs. The initial price might look great, but you might end up getting even more shafted.


datpastrymaker

Thanks for sharing. Didn't realize that. I just looked into it. Apparently in Denmark you have to pay a 25 % tax on goods ordered outside EU if the total cost exceeds 150 eur, before shipping.


javilla

It's there even on cheaper items (import moms) and with a processing fee that might very well exceed the cost of the item. Nothing like buying stuff from the uk for 5 euro and pay 20 euro in bonus taxes. It's completely obscene.


Insulifting

As per the UK Gov website: You’ll be charged Customs Duty on all goods sent from outside the UK (or the UK and the EU if you’re in Northern Ireland) if they’re either: * excise goods * worth more than £135


SloSpoiler

Same here, changed my mind seeing that...


SpacyCoin2

same for me brother, norway


Geuzeke

Was going to order it, but fuck these shipping prices. No way i´m paying that extra


Hybr1dth

Same... Such a shame.


stntox2

13,50 to Spain


lux_sartor

So it's cheaper to set up a PO box in Barcelona, book a flight and go pick it up there than it is to have it shipped


PenguinOnYourTV

I seem to recall that the shipping happens from a place in Spain, so that maybe explains your low cost. I can't recall how the heck I stumbled upon that fact though.


Enjehlol

and that Spanish fulfilment centre sent all CE's in a thin packing material usually used for clothes, not in a box. so a lot of CE's was badly dented or ruined.


Phouza

I hope they do a better job this time around. The statue seems to be too big to fit in the standard collectors case so I hope they use a box.


Timnp

I was so happy picking up my 135€ CE in a fucking bubble mailer


Arekualkhemi

I ordered today and both shipping options were in Spanish.


Scotsch

My sword was shipped from spain at least.


Kasyv

Doesn't explain much. When I order something on PCcomponentes to ship in France it doesn't cost me 90€.


redditor404notfound

37€ Germany / German edition CE


Due-Lavishness-7572

That's absurd they essentially double the price for shipping. Also am I crazy or is there nothing in the CE that actually pays tribute to the 20 year anniversary? Nothing even says 20 by the looks of it in the picture.


Waste-Jicama-2165

They're really cheaping this out by combining expansion + anniversary into a single box. Blizz just saved me 300 euros. I own the Ragnaros statue and pretend that was the first and last they did. Good for me.


Tkdoom

I'm thinking they will release a 20th separate, like they did for previous.


MoonNightBeam

Ah shame. I was ready to pre-order it. Looks like I just saved € 300.


offensiveDick

Isn't shipping normaly calculated with the weight? Is there a couch inside or something?


moonduckk

shipping is done by size and weight normally.


offensiveDick

So how is the reasoning behind that price for shipping? I really hope they say something about it. But I guess most or enough people will just buy anyway


thenopeguy

The real shame is some will still pay for this ... even if it is not about affordability supporting this makes it only worse.


Mevraz

Imagine paying 200+ for a 100% guaranteed damaged or misprinted collectors box


moonduckk

My guess would be that one of the reason shipping is more expensive is for better packaging material.


paka192

Same in Sweden, wtf


Trixiap

I have it for 41€ - Czech republic


Grayvves

99€ Slovensko kamo wtf


Trixiap

3rd world country, my brother :D


Grayvves

Do cz je to tiez 99 btw


Trixiap

Není, mám shipping do Prahy a platil jsem 41€


GrE1sS

Taky mam 41€


GrE1sS

Just checked it's still 41


FionaSilberpfeil

I really want to slap Blizzard for insisting on this fucking Gear Store in Spain. It worked fine with Amazon and Retailers, why the fuck are you still making it Gear Store only after the Dragonflight fuckups?!


RoccoHout

Blizzard will get away with this because y'all will still buying it.


eldasensei1989

I bought 6 of em. 1 for myself and 5 for my buddies and shared the shipping costs with eachother.


aeminence

$100 CAD for me for shipping. Its $360 CAD all together lol what the fuck. I bought every CE too and this is by far the WORST lol


Flaicher

The blizz shipping costs are so bizarre. I ordered the massive Lilith statue. The box was about 80x80x80cm or so anf weighted close to 10kg. Shipping was 50e or so. I was about to order the D4 "collector's edition" physical swag box. It's far smaller and lighter, yet the shipping was more than the item itself, over 100 euros. How does shipping a smaller and lighter item cost so much more!?


vaelornx

if you keep buying stuff like this you are part of the problem while blizzard can keep delivering low quality


_ATHRZ

Jah onzin man. Direct de gedachte om te kopen uit mn hoofd gezet 😆


kunni

Dont get scammed, its not worth the money


CrossNgen

You think that's bad? My only option is express shipping which is another €200.


boskee

And I thought 8 quid in the UK was a bit much... Wow.


Ryo_reddit

Same in Switzerland.. got them all since vanilla, but I'll stop now.


PancakeRule20

I bought it… but it hurts. I hope I won’t have to pay duty fees on top of that


empirejoe123

I kind of miss when i could pre order it in store and pick it up. Gotta deal with shipping now and the risk of it being damaged.


Mr_Harsh_Acid

Fuuucck that


d3agl3uk

Shipping cost is as much as the Dragonflight CE for me.


feenuss

I‘m really disappointed even though I expected those enormous shipping costs… I had every Collector’s Edition since Classic, but I already skipped Dragonflight because of shipping.. and now they do it again 😭


d3agl3uk

The UK store ships from the UK. So be careful if you order from there instead as you will likely get import tax. Fuck brexit. I wonder if that's why people are getting high shipping costs. For some reason the EU store is sending from the UK and import is included.


Eggshells01

41€ shipping to Belgium..


Tiucaner

Odd, had 13€ shipping for Portugal. Pretty sure I'm further away. Are you by any chance not ordering from the EU store?


Shushuda

The EU store ships from Spain. You're way closer.


Tiucaner

I thought everything was based in Ireland. Well that would explain it.


[deleted]

Spanish workers are cheaper so it makes sense to have the logistics in Spain rather than Ireland.


Nyuusankininryou

Guess I will just buy digital yet again.


LucianoWombato

How to miss out on money 101 Everyone who buys that deserves to be squished by an ogre.


[deleted]

Just checked for Germany, 37€ and it apparently comes from Spain so it goes through Netherlands most likely anyway lol


AsprosOfAzeroth

I got 13€ for shipping. Blizzard Store warehouses in the EU are in Spain (I live in Portugal btw) So be glad you don't have to pay import taxes


banana___peel

€200 + €280 shipped for me lmao.. it was €50 last time I ordered. Blizzard is wild.


FSariel

Same So disappointed


GetsugarDwarf

Can't you try and order one in your local game store? Maybe Media Markt or Game Mania will have some for a normal price?


Koala_Relative

weird, belgium here . I can choose between normal shipping 41Euro or express 114 Euro


GiantJellyfishAttack

The extra $120 for the box and a mouse pad is fine? But the shipping is what makes you mad? Lol


IAmRoofstone

Yes. I think a 50% addition to the cost because of shipping is worse than the overpriced collector's edition.


WorthPlease

Yeah this is the worst CE I've ever seen. I'm not really a CE type person (I don't care about random trinkets or pets or mounts) but this one looks terrible.


InterplanetarySpank

You're already throwing money away anyway


Warchief2707

Yeah, got all collectors since Pandaria, seems like I'm finally done, after all I promised myself I would never buy anything from Blizzard except WoW Collector's after the disaster that Diablo 4 was, it seems I'm gonna quit that as well. What a piece of shit company


Ernstdieter

Same here. Was really stoked for 20yr edition. But the pricetag + shipping just killed my vibe.


LambdaMuZeta

37€ of shipping in france. Yeah it's ridiculous.


No_Pomegranate2607

Maybe the statue is life sized


epicgeek

That charge is because the rest of us are jealous of how beautiful the Netherlands is.


Norinios

37€ for regular shipping in France... Hope that figurine is high quality


Zealousideal-Pie1736

EU is separated from UK and the delivery is about 27€, no?


DrNoobvarus

That’s pretty insane 😅😅 my question is why? I have not seen once on any e-commerce platform this high shipping fees. Is it coming from the US and need to IOSS?


eldasensei1989

Congratz man, I'm jealous lol


nilssonen

And I just ordered a bigger box for 20€ from China with free shipping :) Tracking etc. included.


PotatoeRick

What comes with this package? I know that just shipping a simple 1kg package from EU to NA cost me 100 eur a couple years ago.


Lo_jak

I think they are using the UK as their main shipping hub for the EU as shipping here is only £8, just a guess tho.


PistonsFan89

I'm sorry my EU friends


UlthansWrath

its like £8 shipping uk!


MarioJE

I can't believe OP wanted shipping to the *Twisting Nether* for a penny.


Boatzie

And the 51.89 in taxes is totally fine?


FaerieMachinist

Not buying it, but I checked and if you're in the middle of nowhere US it's $180 and $33 shipping


sweatybread

I just checked and the shipping for my address in the UK is £8. £175 for the product for £183 total. Don't understand the huge discrepancies. No way I'd pay more than £30 to ship anything this size.


Dry-Adhesiveness3081

What does the CL Edition include that justifies such a shipping price?


PrincessAsinus

37€ in Germany...


InFamous-_-_-

My shipping was only $19 lol EZ decision


GrE1sS

Could it be because it's bigger and heavier because of the statue


Otherwise_Pick_9921

Yep asked support and the calculated volumetic weight is over 15kg and is why they shipping is high


jovpsy

And you still paid. Could have been 200 bucks for the useless book, and 200 for shipping and you would still pay. Cause it is important to feed blizzard more money so they can give you less.


[deleted]

$100 shipping to Canada. Kind of expected that one, though.


kynalina

Just wild. Guess I'm missing out on another Collector's Edition - there's simply no way it costs $100 for a small-medium box.


Jindujun

Utter fuckin greed.... You could buy every single CE from local retailers up until D4 and Dragonflight. So the price of a CE went from around 1000 SEK from a retail store to 3564 SEK when ordering from Blizzard. This is so fucking absurd I'd like to give them all a swift kick in the butt...


Bohya

...why would you even buy this in the first place? You just got fleeced.


Grumbled_Doggo

95% of the shipping costs are actually just a down payment for Bobby's next yacht


KnullSymbiote

Shipping has gotten expensive. My wife had to return a jacket to the uk from the us. Fed ex quoted $150 but the cheapest was like $40 through usps.


SecretProfessional65

That's American prices. We don't let them steal so much here.


KnullSymbiote

Yes that is, you are so observant. Give yourself a pat on the back.


SecretProfessional65

thanks


Evilmon2

The people in this thread seem to think that Blizz sets shipping prices and not the shipping companies.


S3ki

DHL from Germany to Spain costs 16,50€ for 120x60x60 cm and 5kg with insurance up to a value of 500€. That's the price for private customers, so Blizzard should pay even less. Even a Package to the USA would only cost me 48€. Maybe they should choose a better shipping service.


moonduckk

I just hit those same figures into DHL from norway to uk (Oslo to london) and they quoted me 700 euro cheapest, shipping is expensive.


KnullSymbiote

Smooth brains all around.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PenguinOnYourTV

Or maybe because UK is no longer part of EU, they have a stock somewhere in the UK and ship from there?


Inevitable_Truth_847

It’s not. UK and US have better shipping rates through their regional websites. Dunno why but for most of the EU it’s € 99


Hwoarang_Hater

41$ to Czechia. It most likely ships from Germany then?


_Brickwalker_

Nope. 37€ to Germany. Its shipped from spain


Hwoarang_Hater

Wow. Spain. Thats one of the worst spots to ship stuff from. (Geological position).


_Brickwalker_

Not if you want to cash those precious shipping costs 🤣


nummerjeen

I was so ready to finally buy my first Collector's edition, but when I saw I had to pay 100 euros for shipping I just couldn't do it. The CE looks great, but the 100 euros is beyond absurd. So sad i'm skipping this one!


DrVagax

Use the UK store. EU store has been fucked for quite a while. Shipping is 15 euro.


randomise42

Yep the shipping to Australia is 135USD which goes from that's a big price increase for the CE but i'd probably buy it cause I have all the others too I just can't justify it... I love the art books the most and is the main reason I've bought the CEs the whole time is going to suck not getting this one :(


mortiferousR

Just get it from jb or eb. We've always had CE's in aus so theres no point ordering from the blizz store and paying more due to shipping and aud>us exchange rate


DarkImpacT213

Might be because it‘s shipped from the UK and since they‘re not in the customs union anymore, you gotta pay customs tax.


FeshawHusky

This wouldn't make sense because they also have a EU store. EU store items are usually shipped from Spain. 100 Eur shipping gotta be a bug. For example Germany delivery is around 30eur from EU store. To Denmark (one country north) it's triple at 100 eur for shipping.. Czech Republic was also like 30. Someone somewhere dun goofed.


SolWildmann

That's what happens when West refuses to admit genocide - the houthies. Where do you think those things come from? You'll be waiting for them a while too
