Nintendo New 3DS XL [Blue/Black] – £122.12 delivered

Australian version, but the hardware is identical to the UK version. You’ll get to get a charger though.

I have imported plenty of stuff from Australia in the past and never been charged any additional fees. Your millage may vary.

I encountered a bug where selecting to deliver to the same address as my billing address wouldn’t work, but if you opt to ship to a different address and just enter the same address again it would work fine.

    that site is totally busted. It keeps adding a white new 3DS to my shopping cart, removing whatever I’ve added on my own and aborting checkout while throwing me back to the shopping cart for no apparent reason. Then it either says the shopping cart is empty or it shows me a white 3DS…

    I imported a dress from Aus (Black Milk clothing) as a Christmas present for a friend worth around £80. Got clobbered another £25-ish for import and custom duties when it turned up.

      Custom and duty fees are often applied only to packages that are ACTUALLY checked, when delivered through standard mail (and not via a courier that has its own customs office), so with some luck you can avoid additional taxes.

      If you want to make sure about the possible costs of the package, you can search through Google for “Duty Calculator” and see how much it will end up costing. For a 125£ video game console, AUS to UK, it’d be 25£.

      In the unfortunate case the shop won’t send a readable invoice with the package, though, it could get stuck in customs hell for who knows how long, or you could get billed higher if they decide to look for the price of the item themselves.

    Can’t see these consoles on the site at all. Can you put in direct links instead of the top-level domain links?

      I did that for a reason. They have also now pulled them from the site. I’ll update fully in the morning.
