    Good GameCube UK Import Sites?

    This question is bound to have been asked at least a thousand times, but I'm new, and I don't have the patience to check out all 83 pages.

    Simply: Can anyone recommend some good import sites for US GameCube games?
    Prices should be Max=?44.99, but I'm more interested in reliability and quick shipping and arrival times.

    I've tried three with GameCube: TQGames, Import Madness, and DVD Box Office.

    TQGames hit the max price but was always through the door within a day or two after I'd placed my order with excellent customer service. I would've stuck with them but the bastards at Nintendo shut them down.

    DVD Box Office took three weeks, and Metroid Prime had been out in the US for two months. No.

    Import Madness is fairly cheap and did arrive fairly quickly before, but F-Zero GX took two weeks after I placed my order to arrive, and although their website says Billy Hatcher was shipped on Friday I still haven't had an e-mail.

    Any help?

    Tronix: The one and only US-based importer you should probably bother with IMO.

    Quick delivery (3-4 days). Good Prices. Excellent Comms.

    Faultless.

      Erm, TheRage is just as good a store, if not better.

        DVDboxoffice for US preorders, but NEVER for games that have been out for a while.

        I get my Jap GC games from Goblin now due to the cheap prices for members.

        Other Jap games and accessories from lik-sang.com or Tokuda (forum member)

          Er, Tok's not running the service anymore mate, Venom743 is doing the deed for us Japan-hungry gamers now.

            Never used em' before, so can't comment.

            Tronix have always been safe with me.

              How are Tronix or TheRage with pre-orders?
              Also, what shipping options do you recommend?

                  I can't comment on The Rage, but Tronix are very good, they won't bill you until the item is ready to ship.

                  I tend to use Global Priority Mail (costs about $10) for shipping and I always get my games within 3-4 days. Without fail.

                    www.gamepricesearch.com

                    Though not all stores ship to Europe.
                    I order most games from dvdboxoffice. As stated, they're pretty slow with videogames, but due to the no shipping costs often the cheapest.
                    I read some online stores here which aren't included at gamepricesearch, so can't tell much about them.
                    Ordered from dvdempire too, but had to pay customs ft:
                    Dvdempire is pretty fast though.
                    Also the advantage of dvdboxoffice is that they automatically lower the package value. Never have paid customs with them

                      TheRage are good, but their shipping costs tend to be higher.

                      I use both, given up on dvdguesswhenwe'llsenditoffice.

                        Lol tell me about it.

                        DVDBO took a month to tell me they had no stock of X and cancelled my order.

                          I used to own TQ Games. Even though it has now gone peoples comments are still very much appreciated. Thanks

                              Never order anything from DVDBOffice unless you email them first to ask if it is in stock (unless it's a preorder, in which case there should be no problem).
