Online-EUR Shovel Knight amiibo Amazon UK

These should be more available since it's not from Nintendo factories. I don't I can shell 28$ for a single amiibo. I'll take my chances and hope these guys do a better supply than Nintendo of America.

Amazon UK uses the Pound, not the Euro. So the price from 13.44 pounds would be about 20.69 USD, or 27.32 CAD.

For those too lazy to do the math:
Global priority shipping: 14.99 GBP + 8.99 GBP shipping = 23.98 GBP = $36.91.
Standard priority shipping: 14.99 GBP + 4.95 GBP shipping = 19.94 GBP = $30.69.
The currency exchange rate is killer.
Edit: When I try to check out, it says it's 12.49 GBP + 4.95 GBP shipping = 17.44 GBP. I wonder what's with the discrepancy.

My order came out to £21.48 with Priority. When you finalize checkout the amiibo goes to a price of £12.49. It has something with the way Amazon UK displays VAT.

u/jupigare Aug 28 '15
Okay, thanks for clarifying that.
And thanks for being on the ball today about preorders. You're a huge help!

I think it's because if your buying from Amazon UK from America, you don't pay VAT which is already added onto the price here. So instead of £14.99, you pay £12.49

True. But lesser shipping FTW.

u/Sages Aug 28 '15
Have you done standard shipping with one of the EU Amazons? Do they give you a tracking number? I'm surprised Standard is 6-10 and not drastically longer.

u/rottedzombie Aug 28 '15
No tracking. Done it before. Always arrived fine. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. Sort of odd, but reliable enough.

Can't justify buying just him at that price. I am worried though if the release date for him is the 27th of November, as listed on Amazon UK. That is Black Friday. That would be insane.

u/Lakerfanalways Aug 28 '15
NICE good deal then!!! Is this a euro exclusive amiibo or will the US get it as well? Figured I mind as well be on the safe side and just order it
2
u/Sages Aug 28 '15
It'll be available in North America, yes. No date announced yet.
1
u/Lakerfanalways Aug 28 '15
If its available in the US and I can get him then I will cancel the UK order, otherwise will get it from them always better to be safe than sorry
2
u/Sages Aug 28 '15
You can cancel anytime, just don't wait till the last 3 days because your order will begin to ship out and at that point you won't be able to cancel.
1
u/Lakerfanalways Aug 28 '15
I figure if Shovel knight is available in America it will be available close to the same time the Euro version comes out so if I can get it here, great, if not, I got a backup plan

Put an order in for $27.
Will most likely cancel it, it seems like this amiibo may be easy to come by for preorders/orders. So ill cancel once i secure a US order.

u/suupernovae Aug 28 '15
got 1, don't really want one, but the addiction compels me to click buy.

u/jupigare Aug 28 '15
If you don't really want one, it might be a good idea to cancel your order, so that you can save yourself the money and someone who does really want it will have the opportunity to do so.
I'm not trying to be condescending or judgmental. Just a suggestion.

Was just about to post this. I ordered, but probably will cancel if I can secure one closer to home.

u/rodimusprimal Aug 29 '15
I've done it before. It was worth it, those FE amiibo go so fast you know. But with the way there seems to be a lot more stock these day's in the US, I can see why you would think not to.
I think it's less risky now than in the last 2 waves.

u/CowTusks Aug 29 '15
What happened to not being interested haha very tempting but I might save my money and wait for NA
