Would like to SE a Nintendo Switch, best non-amazon store? #1
As per title, I've recently DNA'd amazon so my options are kinda slim for now.. what's another EU store I could get it from and get away with an easy DNA? Being the noob that I am, boxing or sealed boxes still feel like higher-tier methods (the dry ice thing in particular)

Definitely too heavy for an EB, as well, so maybe wrong item would be my only other easy option, not sure which shops it could apply to though (CCTV and all)

Do you recommend hitting Selfridges? im from the UK and could definitely do any sort of tech or clothing from there, do you recommend missing item received? PEB or DNA? I know its restrospective of the item and weight but in your experience what works best?

Quote:missing item received
^ You can't receive a missing Item.

Are you referring to the wrong Item received?

Do note that Selfridges has CCTV cameras In operation, so In terms of the wrong Item received and the EB/missing Item method, It must be due to a manufacturer error - the Item was not enclosed In the box Itself. Also, the box must be fully covered In cardboard on all 6 sides.

As for the DNA, It's vital to Identify their carrier partner(s) prior to moving forward.

While it does seem like it'd ship here, the UK is out of the EU now so I'd be shelling out extra fees due to the import taxes
Now, as long as they all get refunded during the DNA process, I'm fine with this, as long as the whole "import taxes" thing doesn't complicate matters with the courier
I'm from .it , just in case, and was eyeing Monclick or Mediaworld (Mediamarkt in northern countries)

Edit: actually, nvm, when I got to the checkout process it states it can't be shipped here, despite calculating the taxes correctly

Here's a snippet from their site:

Yeah, as I said, it calculated them correctly, but then I get a warning:
UK delivery only, Unavailable for delivery to Italy

UK delivery only?

It's contradictory to what's stated In their aforementioned International delivery terms.

I'm guessing some items do have restrictions, be it because of the courier's term on shipping batteries, or maybe they get SE'd too much abroad on certain items.. we used to (still do?) have quite a bad rep when it came to scamming people on ebay back in the days, a lot of auctions explicitly stated the item couldn't be delivered to Italy, not sure if that thing is still around nowadays
