40k Shoping

[Jozef Godhammer]

Hi everyone, I was wondering if I could get some links for the best places to buy Games Workshop products online. I know about War Store and they give 20% off but I saw a thread somewhere that said something about getting 40% off the G.W. prices at a U.K. online store. I wish I could remember where I saw this but oh well. So where do you all go for G.W. and hobby stuff online?

Thanks, Joe.

Gifts for Geeks. It's a Leicester based store, which also sells online, with a 25% discount and a wide variety of stuff.

I'm a Gifts for Geeks Guy as well. Good saving and they occassionally have free delivery if ordered by telephone.

(I do feel guilty going into my local store for games but buying over the net...)

Check out http://www.maelstromgames.co.uk/ 15% off uk retail with one of their sales and free postage. They end up cheaper than my local GW by an average 35% for example Baal Predator local price $83 from Maelstrom Games Just under $45 plus free postage I usually wait for one of their sales and then buy up big and they have sales 5 to 8 times a year so not like you are waiting forever. Which reminds me got to get my order in for the current sale before the price rise 17.5% off. Of course how much you save also depends on the currency values at the time of purchase.

The savings are nice, but I like going to my GW chatting with staff and punters. An extra couple of pounds is worth it for me to get that plus the goods immediately. I guess if I was saving a substantial amount in one order Id think about online buying, but Im pretty impatient when it comes to retail therapy.

Just checked out giftsforgeeks and eventhough they have 20% of RRP they are still more expensive than Maelstormgames simply because their postage costs are high.

I put up an order for a cadian battleforce, 44£ with 7.75£ postage to Finland.
I live on the Aland Islands which is part of Finland but not part of the EU taxation union which means everything sent here should be sent tax free. Allot of retailers do NOT do this.
GFG does have aland islands listed in country though but postage here would be 16.20£ or 13£ for surface mail which takes up to 8 weeks.
Ofc Id choose Finland as shipping country over Aland Islands anyday simply because it doesnt matter, I get it anyways.

51.75£ is what it would cost me.
49.50£ from maelstorm with free shipping.

There used to be a store that sold for 20% RRP with free shipping but they stopped sending things outside of the UK last year. I bought allot of stuff from them for cheap.

I'd feel guilty too if it weren't for the fact that my 'F'LGS... is GW.

It would be interesting to get a list of the best known online retailers and set up some sort of rating system.
I have trolled around the net comparing prices of various companies and Maelstrom comes comes up trumps every time it is hard to beat that free postage. Other places might be slightly better in price but then loose the advantage when postage costs are factored in.
