   (Is it better to open up a new topic liek I do now or better if I ask in the other Shipping topic? But seeing how my question deviates a bit...)

   Hello there, I am kind of desperate right now. At first I planned to buy your Hakuoki from Amazon.com. Well, the problem is, the German Amazon says, Amazon.com doesn't ship video games to Germany because of customs duty issues (yes, Germany can be kinda strict there)...funnily Amazon.com says tehy do ship video games from Emrica to Germany.

   Germany's GameStop doesn't have Hakuoki listed in their stuff, so I assume they aren't having the game, either...

   So, aside from expensive ebay and waiting until others sell their edition (which I wouldn't want as I do hope to get the original Limited Edition....), how would three German girls (we are three who each want their own edition; I am sure there's more) buy the American release of Hakuoki then? Any...tipps/help/suggestions?

   Thanks ahead~

   Unfortunately we don't ship to other countries, and as far as I know we don't have any plans to publish in Europe. GameStop Germany probably isn't carrying it because it would need to be rated by USK in order for them to stock it, and I don't think we have any plans to get it rated by the USK.

   If eBay isn't an option, I'd say your best bet is probably to find someone in the US who would be willing to buy the game and then ship it to you. You might also try videogamesplus.ca. I think they ship internationally.

   Play-Asia and Estarland are great online retailers for international customers, I got my F/E LE ordered from Estarland.

   You can try Shopping Mall Japan. I guess they now allow orders from the USA, but be prepared to spend a fair amount in commission fees.

   i knew someone who imported harvest from USA or Canada Amazon to the UK. She had to pay extra shipping and an import tax, but was able to get the game she wanted.

   maybe it's possible if you order from Canada's Amazon.com? It's really weird that USA Amazon.com doesn't ship to Europe but they say they do on their website. Aren't they afraid of getting sued? @_@

   Yes.

   ^I know there are some restrictions when it comes to Amazon international orders, like how some electronic items can't be ordered from Japan, but with books it's fine. (last time I checked...)

   I think there are a few game web shops in N.A. that ship to Europe, but I forgot which ones did that ^^'

   Uwah, so many replies so fast~ Thank you guys. So, let's see...

   @Belisarius: Ah, I was afraid you'd say that, and especially because I know there are unlikely to be plans for the game to be released in Europe, I was hoping to at least be able to buy the American version. But that link looks interesting, I will check it out, thank you~ (If nothing goes I just might end up using ebay in the end....xD)

   @Shizuka: Play-Asia indeed has it, well, the normal edition. If I can't get the LE anywhere else, this'd be a nice alternative, thanks for pointing out! Estarland doesn't seem to have Hakuoki listed (yet?), still thank you very much!

   @asrttyoxo: Oh yay, I wish I had the money xD Still thanks for the reply, I'll look into it when there is no cheaper option <3

   @Welch: It's probably thw German Amazon that stops the American Amazon from shipping to Germany because it might end up being held back at the custom office or something, thus thay want to prevent it. Or something like that, I am not quite sure. OH WELL, I'll look into the Canadian Amazon, then, too, so thanks for suggesting it, didn't think about it xD

   @matty: ...and add to that the strict, complicated customs issue of Germany.......
   Too bad but still, thanks~

    Matty's right. Australia (unfortunately) counts as another country, so we won't be able to ship to you.
