UK Import: The best online stores for games

You can save a lot of money with imported games from England, since the games are usually cheaper there. We present you the best UK shops.

UK import via Amazon - the British equivalent

In the British Amazon shop, there are often good offers compared to German game versions:

• An advantage of Amazon.co.uk is that you can easily log in with your German account and so you do not have to re-enter delivery addresses and payment details.
• However, you can only pay by credit card at Amazon.co.uk. Amazon does not accept PayPal and direct debit on its UK site.
• Your article will often reach you within 2 to 3 days, but you should usually plan a longer period.
• The shipping costs to Germany are a little over 3 pounds, about 4 euros. However, this shipping also applies to titles without youth approval, which are estimated in Germany to be an additional 5 euros.

UK import via Game.co.uk - the address for games

Game.co.uk is a mail order company specializing in video games and accessories. It is always worth comparing prices here with Amazon.co.uk.

• The advantage over Amazon is that you can not only pay with a credit card, but also with PayPal.
• The dealer specifies the duration of the shipping with 3 to 5 working days. Experience has shown that the delivery will only reach you after 5 to 10 working days.
• Shipping costs are set at £ 2.95, which is about £ 4.
• At Game.co.uk you will also find a wide selection of used games. In addition, the company often advertises special offers for individual games. This makes it a perfect point of contact for all bargain hunters.

UK import via Zavvi - buy cheap games on the island

At Zavvi you can also beat a few bargains:

• You also pay by credit card or PayPal.
• You do not incur shipping costs to Germany. However, since Zavvi does not ship from the UK mainland, customs duties may apply, especially for games that are not approved for young people. You should take this into account when buying.
• The shipping time is 2 to 7 days. As with the other shops, however, you should expect a longer delivery time, especially if the game still goes to customs.
• Pro tip: Zavvi can be set to German using the country selection at the top right. You should avoid this, however, as this will show you the German - usually more expensive - euro prices. Therefore, select "Great Britain" as the country and "Pound" as the currency. Irrespective of this, your delivery address can be a German one.
