Anytime I've tried to order counter trays on Amazon, they have been ridiculously expensive.

Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

Yeah, I get mine direct. But for JD I thought it might be an option.

Check to see if you can get the GMT trays through Amazon UK.

Nope - trust me, I've checked just about every UK source, few as they are, and there is nowhere cheaper than buying direct from GMT.

Bob - how do you do it though? It said there was no shipping option for my location? Perhaps they think Newcastle is a closer country than Colchester  :ROFL:

Maybe things have changed since I last ordered, but I've ordered from them twice with out any issues.

Gotcha.

When I first setup the order, it gave me 3 options - all NON-ASIA. I choose the $9.50 then it said I had an account and as soon as I logged in, it said there was no valid postal location.  :-\

Anyway - I've got some coming from Germany.

We're a bit shit in the UK for all things board gaming though. :waah:

Sounds like we should start a game company in the UK and sell locally.

That's what I'm saying. I filled the basket (if you will) and selected my delivery option and it then said I had an account and to login (when I put my email address in). When I logged in, that's when it told me there was no option for delivery for my location.

I saw something similar in a post (I think on BGG) afterwards when I was looking for UK suppliers. BoardGameGuru was listed, but (as is almost always the case with BoardGameGuru), it's something I was wanting so it's out of stock (not that I'm saying it's personal  :biggrin: )

You need some US board gaming friends to send you a care package.  :whistle:

Yes, Guru do that a lot. I got my copy of Holland 44 from GamesLore - it was about £5 cheaper than anywhere else.

JD, it maybe would have been worth contacting the GMT help desk - they may not be aware that an ordering problem exists.

I just wen't through the order process without actually finalising it, and it worked OK for me. :bigthumb:
