So how do pre-orders work at Ubi-store then? i ordered 4 and haven't checked my account since.

They told me that Paypal Transactions are charged immediately whereas Credit/Debit cards are Not.

Confused.

Does it maybe just hold the money until release then ? xx

Yeah, exactly.Their FAQ claims they only charge you at the time of dispatch, but I've heard from several people already that they've took the money from their account immediately. That's the only thing holding me back right now, not very fond of paying £90 seven months before I actually get the stuff.

I have been looking at UBISHOP's shipping information and I read that if you live outside the US you may get charged custom fees:

I live outside the US. Do I have to pay customs fees?
Custom and tariff fees may apply according to your country's import laws. These fees are not collected by this company, and this company does not have control of these fees.

Does anyone here have any experience of buying from them before?
I would like to get 4 editions for me and a group of friends but I don't want to pay the hefty custom fees here in the UK

[Neilikki]

What are you talking about? If you live inside UK you buy from your UK based Ubishop that sends you things from inside UK.
I don't think you can even order things from the US Ubishop, or even access it officially for that matter.
Not to mention they won't even stock these editions, since they are Europe exclusives.

Unless you are talking about ubiWORKshop.
But that still doesn't make any sense, since they dont even store games and definitely not those that are Europe exclusives.

You are absolutely right, this is why I am confused, I presume they would send within the UK but after seeing that message it got me concerned.

Well, derp. I checked the FAQ of my local Ubishop again, and there's indeed some crap about US and custom fees.
I don't really know why it's there, but I wouldn't pay much attention to it. They won't be sending you your game from the US anyway.

Hmm you're right. Btw has anyone checked out gamestop.it?
Apparently they are offering the Freedom edition for 49.98EUROS when ordering 2? It is on the homepage when you click the All Exclusive tab

That would mean it would be the cheapest one available!

Can this be true?

lol, whatever you're on, I'll take two please
My Italian is extremely rough cos I've never spoken it, but I believe that promo translates to 'trade in offer' where you trade in two recently released [most likely] games and you get the 'Freedom Edition' for $49.98Euro?! Some Italian speaking member may have to correct me if I'm totally off

[themidlandmaster]

No way it would be 50 euroes
