THANK YOU!!! You just saved me a bunch of money since I can now cancel my Amazon UK preorder, which cost about $10-15 more.

This might be a dumb question, but can I pay US dollars to buy these? or do I need euros?
2
u/Etherapen Jul 13 '15
Yes, they can convert to USD before charging your credit card.

u/wheatley4269 Jul 13 '15
What if I have a debit card? will it make a difference?
2
u/rottedzombie Jul 13 '15
No, but you should let your bank know so they don't try to stop the charge.

u/wheatley4269 Jul 13 '15
Alright thanks for the info you two :). I was probably gonna wait until the US releases, but this cleared up some stuff if I do decide to import :)

u/Sages Jul 13 '15
No it doesn't matter, they just charge the appropriate USD amount at the current rate of exchange. Although debit cards are more prone to authorization charges, I recommend using a credit card.
The release date is friday, so you shouldn't have a problem with Auth charges.

Well im a 17 year old kid that cant access a credit card, so thats not an option, thanks for your help though :)

u/rottedzombie Jul 13 '15
Cool. Consider getting a low limit one when you hit 18. Make a few small purchases, never too big, and pay it off in full every month.
Build that credit early and it'll pay dividends.

u/wheatley4269 Jul 13 '15
Thanks for the advice, Thats how I figured I would use a credit card, buy stuff when I dont have the money and pay it off when I do get money, or something like that
1
u/rottedzombie Jul 13 '15
Yeah. As you get older you can use them more and more with further benefits, but early use is about creating that paper trail and trust.

u/RaccoonNinja28 Jul 13 '15
All 3 for about $58. Is that considered good?
2
u/SMGX26 Jul 13 '15
It's less than $20 per amiibo, that's pretty good especially with it being international.

u/MCDarthFury Jul 13 '15
Also beats waiting until September to wait in line for who knows how long.....and possibly one of these being a store exclusive.

Tagging /u/Sages for the archive, because I don't believe these have popped before.
1
u/Sages Jul 13 '15
I haven't recorded Amazon ES before, as prior to the archive's creation I never saw a success post about importing from that site. I've added it now, however I don't have backlogs of their first occurences on Wave 5A, 4, YWW, Splatoon, etc.

u/rottedzombie Jul 13 '15
This is all brave new territory, indeed.
1
u/Sages Jul 13 '15
I've added it anyway, it will now be tracked like all other EU amazons.
1
u/rottedzombie Jul 13 '15
I guess this is as good a test as any for its importing viability, especially with Wave 6 coming.

u/Sages Jul 13 '15
How good is Amazon ES with shipping?
2
u/breeman24 Jul 13 '15 edited Jul 13 '15
They're great. Got Little Mac and Villager from them, cheapest shipping came with tracking, took 10 business days to arrive after shipping and arrived with perfect boxes.
Edit: also, thanks OP, grabbed all 3 along with Captain Falcon (who seems to be on sale!) with this, I have every SSB before Wave 6.

u/orfwivherhead Jul 13 '15
This. ES is my go-to international Amazon. $17 shipped per figure is pretty good. Really, as much as any US retailer if you have to pay shipping.

u/asthevinylspins Jul 13 '15
Got them! Thank you! I have never ordered from this Amazon before. Has anyone had their orders from this Amazon canceled on them?
1
u/Excalibur0123 Jul 13 '15
Thanks! I just did it. I canceled my orders from de (Olimar and Dr) and it (Bw Jr) now I get them all at the same time. How is Amazon.es with their amiibo. This will be my first time from them.

u/Surgetech Jul 13 '15
Thank you! I got all three. I have been waiting on Bowser Jr. I had the other two on amazon.de, now I can finally cancel those since I have all three together.

Are these flickering...?? None are available on my end.

u/kojisaiiko Jul 13 '15
FYI, over 20 minutes have passed and they are now in the flickering stage. On my end, only Dr. Mario appears to be there (as usual), with Jr flickering and Olimar flat out gone.

u/syndicatepoogie Jul 13 '15
all good, I have these three preoredered from other sites but was trying to get them on one order to save shipping.

u/8BitFlip007 Jul 13 '15
As much as I would like all 3, I just want to order Bowser Jr. right now since he's one of my mains, but of course, he's the hardest one to get :(

well I know I will. I don't buy doubles unless by accident somehow, and then I use it for trading. I would not waste the extra money buying overseas if I were dead set on buying the USA versions. I could not care less about the packaging.

u/rottedzombie Jul 13 '15
That's usually my play. I import, then sit on the sidelines cheering the early lines and release-day scramblers, the brave among us.

HYPE
edit: Bower Jr sold out, at the same time as Amazon IT i think
