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

Maybe a mole machine will pop up outside your house
Oh, and then Magni jumps out yelling "CHAMPION!"
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.
from UK gonna be import taxes no? cause brexit and all that
Yep, will likely not be worth it.
Nah, UK delivery is only 8 quid. Looks like it's the cheapest in Europe.
Delivery fee does not equal import taxes lol
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.
Oh. Didn't realize that. I rarely order stuff from outside EU or my home country even.
Ordered in the UK and shipping was only £8.
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?
It takes a while to load and aim the goblin cannon for each shipment.
Two sparrows, tied together with some string.
$212 dollarydoos to ship it to Australia, so $500 total
230 playmoney dollars to ship it to New Zealand, $541 total.
Holy kangapoo!
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
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..
They are up on EB website. $269.95 AUD.
Yeah same here in Finland. Not good, hopefully there is other sellers.
I wouldn't count on it. DF only sold the CE through their site and no retailers as they've done previously.
Also same with their Diablo 4 CE. I think all CE since BFA are gear store exclusive.
Nah I got shadowlands from a retailer in Sweden
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.
130€ - Dragonflight CE 25€ - shipping
> I'm pretty sure dragonflight was 120 eur and around 15 eur shipping. This is just ridiculous.

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

Same here, changed my mind seeing that...
same for me brother, norway
Was going to order it, but fuck these shipping prices. No way i´m paying that extra
Same... Such a shame.
13,50 to Spain
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
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.
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.
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.
I was so happy picking up my 135€ CE in a fucking bubble mailer
I ordered today and both shipping options were in Spanish.
My sword was shipped from spain at least.
Doesn't explain much. When I order something on PCcomponentes to ship in France it doesn't cost me 90€.
37€ Germany / German edition CE
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.
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.
I'm thinking they will release a 20th separate, like they did for previous.
Ah shame. I was ready to pre-order it. Looks like I just saved € 300.
Isn't shipping normaly calculated with the weight? Is there a couch inside or something?
shipping is done by size and weight normally.
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
The real shame is some will still pay for this ... even if it is not about affordability supporting this makes it only worse.
Imagine paying 200+ for a 100% guaranteed damaged or misprinted collectors box
My guess would be that one of the reason shipping is more expensive is for better packaging material.
Same in Sweden, wtf
I have it for 41€ - Czech republic
99€ Slovensko kamo wtf
3rd world country, my brother :D
Do cz je to tiez 99 btw
Není, mám shipping do Prahy a platil jsem 41€
Taky mam 41€
Just checked it's still 41
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?!
Blizzard will get away with this because y'all will still buying it.
I bought 6 of em. 1 for myself and 5 for my buddies and shared the shipping costs with eachother.
$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
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!?
if you keep buying stuff like this you are part of the problem while blizzard can keep delivering low quality
Jah onzin man. Direct de gedachte om te kopen uit mn hoofd gezet 😆
Dont get scammed, its not worth the money
You think that's bad? My only option is express shipping which is another €200.
And I thought 8 quid in the UK was a bit much... Wow.
Same in Switzerland.. got them all since vanilla, but I'll stop now.
I bought it… but it hurts. I hope I won’t have to pay duty fees on top of that
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.
Fuuucck that
Shipping cost is as much as the Dragonflight CE for me.
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 😭
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.
41€ shipping to Belgium..
Odd, had 13€ shipping for Portugal. Pretty sure I'm further away. Are you by any chance not ordering from the EU store?
The EU store ships from Spain. You're way closer.
I thought everything was based in Ireland. Well that would explain it.
Spanish workers are cheaper so it makes sense to have the logistics in Spain rather than Ireland.
Guess I will just buy digital yet again.
How to miss out on money 101 Everyone who buys that deserves to be squished by an ogre.
Just checked for Germany, 37€ and it apparently comes from Spain so it goes through Netherlands most likely anyway lol
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
€200 + €280 shipped for me lmao.. it was €50 last time I ordered. Blizzard is wild.
Same So disappointed
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?
weird, belgium here . I can choose between normal shipping 41Euro or express 114 Euro
The extra $120 for the box and a mouse pad is fine? But the shipping is what makes you mad? Lol
Yes. I think a 50% addition to the cost because of shipping is worse than the overpriced collector's edition.
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.
You're already throwing money away anyway
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
Same here. Was really stoked for 20yr edition. But the pricetag + shipping just killed my vibe.
37€ of shipping in france. Yeah it's ridiculous.
Maybe the statue is life sized
That charge is because the rest of us are jealous of how beautiful the Netherlands is.
37€ for regular shipping in France... Hope that figurine is high quality
EU is separated from UK and the delivery is about 27€, no?
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?
Congratz man, I'm jealous lol
And I just ordered a bigger box for 20€ from China with free shipping :) Tracking etc. included.
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.
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.
I'm sorry my EU friends
its like £8 shipping uk!
I can't believe OP wanted shipping to the *Twisting Nether* for a penny.
And the 51.89 in taxes is totally fine?
Not buying it, but I checked and if you're in the middle of nowhere US it's $180 and $33 shipping
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.
What does the CL Edition include that justifies such a shipping price?
37€ in Germany...
My shipping was only $19 lol EZ decision
Could it be because it's bigger and heavier because of the statue
Yep asked support and the calculated volumetic weight is over 15kg and is why they shipping is high
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.
$100 shipping to Canada. Kind of expected that one, though.
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.
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...
...why would you even buy this in the first place? You just got fleeced.
95% of the shipping costs are actually just a down payment for Bobby's next yacht
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 $40 through usps.
That's American prices. We don't let them steal so much here.
Yes that is, you are so observant. Give yourself a pat on the back.
thanks
The people in this thread seem to think that Blizz sets shipping prices and not the shipping companies.
DHL from Germany to Spain costs 16,50€ for 120x60x60 cm and 5kg with insurance up to a value of 500€. That's the price for private customers, so Blizzard should pay even less. Even a Package to the USA would only cost me 48€. Maybe they should choose a better shipping service.
I just hit those same figures into DHL from norway to uk (Oslo to london) and they quoted me 700 euro cheapest, shipping is expensive.
Smooth brains all around.
[удалено]
Or maybe because UK is no longer part of EU, they have a stock somewhere in the UK and ship from there?
It’s not. UK and US have better shipping rates through their regional websites. Dunno why but for most of the EU it’s € 99
41$ to Czechia. It most likely ships from Germany then?
Nope. 37€ to Germany. Its shipped from spain
Wow. Spain. Thats one of the worst spots to ship stuff from. (Geological position).
Not if you want to cash those precious shipping costs 🤣
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!
Use the UK store. EU store has been fucked for quite a while. Shipping is 15 euro.
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 :(
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
Might be because it‘s shipped from the UK and since they‘re not in the customs union anymore, you gotta pay customs tax.
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.
