There used to be some advertisers, dealers, etc that had I thought some good discounts on new GW items. Are any of them still around or does anyone know of a good place to try and get better discounts on GW? I appreciate the help!

Miniature Market offers 25% off.
Wargamer's Cave offers 20% (sometimes more) off and (IIRC) flat rate shipping.

Also; Moving thread to discussions.

Unfortunately, If GW gets wind of excessive discounts, they may pull their product from that store. Our local store gives 10% on regular days and 20% on days that GW games or tourneys are taking place.

I beleive ChaosOrc, who advertises here, sells at 20-25%, with some items discounted more.

They have a strict limit and, IIRC, 25% is it.
I could be wrong on the amount, however.

Taking advantage of exchange rates and GW pricing in other countries can lead to large discounts too, if you are willing to wait for your product. Ordering from the UK can net you some pretty good savings if you order enough to get free shipping. Not sure if I should mention non-advertising stores that I frequent, so feel free to research it or LMK if you want to know of whom I speak.

Right now, a GBP is worth about a buck fifty. Are their prices THAT good in the UK that they'd make up for the difference in exchange rates?

I have found them to be... just did some quick math and found "Company A" in the UK sells Blood Angel Sanguinary Guard for 16.40 GBP. Multiply that by 1.5 and you get $24.60. 20% off of US retail would be $26.40. Savings of $1.80 so far. They also sell Dark Eldar Reavers for 17.20 GBP. Do the math to get $25.80. 20% off of US retail is $27.80. $2.00 savings there. If you ordered enough for free shipping, then it is worth it. Even better for myself who has ridiculous Canadian prices to deal with... Can't imagine I would ever buy anything retail again unless I needed it ASAP.

FYI, exchange is about the same for us here up north as well...

Wow. I had no idea.
Thanks for sharing.

next you have to factor in shipping... how much will it cost from uk to..?

will it be the same, more or less than local; or not international?

then you have the think about customs, time for shipping and handling. [thru customs].

Which is why I said... IF you order enough to get free shipping... and IF you don't mind waiting.

Fantastic, I'll have to check it out.

The only time I ordered from the UK, was to GW's biz(can't remember what we ordered but they didn't have it) in 1996, it was like pulling teeth to even translate what each of us was saying to the other. English indeed,

Shouldn't a Canadian save money by ordering stuff from the US as we circle the drain?

Yes, but if I can save a bit more, I do not mind waiting a bit longer. AND before anyone mentions them, I (knocking on wood as we speak) have yet to be charged duty for anything coming from the UK. Must be a Commonwealth thing.

Yeah I've been ordering from my home country (UK) to Japan for some time... Not sure why you didn't mention it, but could you tell me who Company A is? I currently use a company (are we no allowed to mention names or something?) that offers free shipping with a minimum of 10GBP but their discounts aren't as large as "Company A"!

Cheers

Good day,

Basically if the company does not advertise here on Bartertown, then you would not be allowed to put their name into your post - of course you could PM those names to each other and that would be fine.

You may want to brush up on the rules in particular #15, for this discussion.

Thank you,
