Websites that ship US Games Internationally?

With the US getting the amazing collectors editions of 'The Order 1886' that includes the figurines. Does GAF know of any sites out there that ship these things to Australia?

Just for reference we only get this crappy edition over here:

https://www.ebgames.com.au/ps4-202627-The-Order-1886-Collectors-Edition-PlayStation-4

This edition doesn't even contain the steelbook, let alone the kick arse figurines.

You can see both of the awesome US Collectors Editions here on the US PS Blog:

Sigh.... Why does Sony do this to the Australian and European Fans? Hell I wanted the North American Post Pandemic Edition of TLOU but Ebay scalpers prices were nuts.
 
Add me to the list of people recommending videogamesplus. Shopped with them for many years now, and they've always been good to me.

They did have account details stolen a while back, though, so if that puts you off, you should be aware of it.
 
That's a negative to Videogamesplus and Dungeoncrawl. Especially when searching for The Order 1886 Collectors Editions. Standard Editions all round, although yes I can see they are US versions. :-(
 
OP, try Amazon.com, I am in China and they ship directly, I also pre-ordered Order 1886 Collector's Edition from them. If they ship to China, surely they would ship to Australia.

They don't ship everything abroad, but might be worth checking out if you're looking to import.

Thanks for trying I had a look. Amazon.ca had this to say in its Shipping Restrictions section and if I remember correctly its the same for their normal .com:
About Shipping Restrictions

Amazon.ca cannot ship software, computer & video games, gift certificates or electronics internationally.

Um ok. Did you read my post above about their so called Shipping restrictions? I don't mean to doubt you but have you ordered and received games from them before?

Amazon is horrible for shipping costs outside US. The p&p fees are just ridonculous.

VG+ has been really good with having Collector's Editions for niche games like XSeed, Nippon Ichi and Aksys' games, never really buy the completely overpriced & over the top big publisher CEs.

You could always send them a message and ask if they could order a few copies of The Order CE. They are usually pretty quick at responding & helpful.

I received Xbox One, PS4, all game line from launch for both consoles and all games I played since then. Yes, they do ship.
 
VGP.ca is in general really good with importing. I am almost convinced its their central business.

If they dont have the CE yet, it might be an idea to wait a bit. They tend to lag behind a bit on games that you normally could get anywhere anyway. In fact you might bother asking on their facebook/twitter page.

Considering they ship with DHL their prices are really good. I payed $25 for PS4 and Xbox One, for each. They were in Shanghai in less than 24 hours after order. They do charge duty fees ahead, but for all my orders except for Assassin's Creed 4 and PS4 I was refunded for those later on, including full refund of Taxes on Xbox One. It's random, but still.
 
Just tried looked amazon.com, collectors edition shipping to Switzerland. 15 bucks shipping, 7 import fees, approximately 100 dollars all in, which is about the same price as a standard local game is anyway.

Ok thanks for letting me know. Wish I knew some Aussies that have ordered games from Amazon before, I'd like give them a try, if only because they're a big company that I should be able to trust. Can you cancel an order a week or two before release if needed? Arg why does this have to be sooo hard.

Have you never bought anything from amazon before? You can cancel pretty much up to whenever it is due to ship so a week or two shouldn't be an issue.

People I played WoW with were all from Aus/NZ (similar time zone to China), all of them who bought next-gen consoles bought them from Amazon.com, as well as games they were interested in.

If they allow you to go through check out process then you are good. Some items they don't ship, I can pre-order limited edition of Order 1886, but not premium edition, doing so I get an error on address selection step about them unable to ship this item to China.

Ah dang rules out the Premium then! By 'limited' do you mean the 'Collector's Edition' the other one with the Figurine?
