Question about buying retail games internationally.

[Jokerkun890]

Hi there. I was wondering if anyone knows of a good website that sells PAL region (EU/UK) games and ships to Canada/US for a decent price.

There are a handful of games I am interested in buying that aren't available here in Canada and are either grossly overpriced or unavailable on ebay (so please, no ebay suggestions).

Some suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do they allow shipping to Canada? Amazon.com never lets me ship to Canada. I'll give it a try though.

Edit:

According to this they do: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?ie=UTF8&nodeId=11072991

Thanks for the info.

Still open to other suggestions.

Edit 2:

Upon checkout it continues to say that delivery is not available.

Right, read this in full because this may be utterly awful advice and I'll at least say why...

I used to use this website... I THINK it was this one, but it's been the better part of a decade so I'm not sure. I recall that it was a four-letter url, and I got this on my second try, so it probably was. Came highly recommended by a friend and I had no complaints. But I haven't used them in practically forever, so you might want to check online for their current reputation. I'm also not sure if they import to Canada.

That said, the url is http://www.ncsx.com/

From having been in the business, I know another source local to Los Angeles called Japan Video Games. I think they do shipping, but again not sure to Canada. But I know them from doing the conventions, they're very friendly and reliable, even if they can be quite pricey (importing in general usually is). Contacting them directly might net results.

Their url is here: http://www.japanvideogames.com/

There's another source I used to use... I'll try to remember where they are and post later.

I've done all my current previous EU purchases through Game.co.uk and all my Asia and Japan imports from Play-Asia (and previously Lik-Sang). Never used Amazon for imports, but I use them exclusively for domestic (regardless of price).

Oh right, EU imports... I can go and slap my forehead now. Game is definitely the big name over there. Original, too.
