UGC Europe?

[Plainsongs]

Where in Europe can you actually get a hold of UGC's anymore?
It seems the place i used to buy from stopped selling them, and the american market requires me buying like 100 at a time, with a righteous shipping fee slapped on that, not to mention the shipping time that takes.
And ebay is also like that, $4/UGC but $15 shipping. Any tips?

Alternatively; is there anyone that is sitting on a pile of them and would like to help me out, or order a bulk with me?

Best bet is just buying them in complete cases (100) and having the whole thing shipped to you.  It's gonna cost a lot, but a lot less than buying 5 or 6 here and there.  Plus, you could always sell what you don't use and quite possibly pay for the case with the money you'd make.

Shipping costs way more than the cases themselves.  You,might have to either hold off for sey more onions cases, and see what he can do with shipping, or got with the more readily available multi disc DVD cases that alot of us euro guys  have settled for.

He won't be able to do anything.  Overseas shipping is just that pricey

Unless we can get a bulk load shipped and split the cost.  Redistribute on arrival.  It's worth thinking about if the savings are considerable.

I should check with UPS and FedEx to see what it would cost to ship a few cases over the Atlantic.  I've shipped a few over the Pacific before...

Thanks for replying guys! Ive had my internet cut off for weeks 


I'm thinking a bulk shipped and redistributed is a pretty good way to go, and it's the only affordable way I'm thinking. That way one could buy 20 each month and that way still get 100 but nice and slowly so as to not be sitting with an empty wallet at the end.

As far as Ive understood, the shipping for a private person between the US and Europe isn't as high in most cases as when buying from a company, can someone confirm? That would be a way too, having someone in the US just re-ship after receiving the cargo.

ConsoleNostalgia on eBay is pretty fair with his prices, and quick to replace any cases damaged in transit. I payed a little over 40 for 20 cases including shipping from England to Ireland. I can't nit pick about that.

Try Gameseek. Their a UK based business.

EDIT: I'm actually sad to say, that ConsoleNostalgia, has gone out of business. Which makes me sad.

was gonna post the gameseek link, but Dravenae beat me to it!

I just looked into game seek, and with the postage being a lot more affordable, that'll be my gotoplace if my test order works out. If the shipping time is decent, this would be the perfect thing.

One more thing; would anybody be interested in splitting a pack of 100 in the near future?
