Cheapest way to buy books in the netherlands

[Omegium]

I want to buy some books I can't get in my local gaming shop, and I was thinking about buying it online. The prices aren't that high, but the shipping is. The cheapest deal I found yet was amazon.co.uk, (amazon.de and amazon.fr were even cheaper on shipping, but had hardly any third party dnd books). Does anyone know of any other good ordering companies when ordering in the netherlands?

Hi there Omegium, i'm setting up a dutch webstore (currently converting to PHP). What are you looking for?

I've got in stock:
*WotC D&D 3E material
*Sword & Sorcery D20 material (Necromancer, Fiery Dragon, Malhavoc, etc.)
*Mongoose D20 material
*AEG D20 material

What i can get in short notice:
*Kalmar D&D3E material
*WotC Star Wars and Chainmail material

If your for looking for anything else feel free to e-mail me, i'll do my best to get it for you (chances are that i want it as well ;-).

Oh, yeah almost forgot the best part, i give a 20% discount on all products and i ship at cost (or if your in the neighborhood of Amsterdam you can come and get it your self)...

Would you deliver to Belgium? How much would the delivery cost?

@poilbrun:
I would love to, but i'm still reading up on import/export procedures, international law, etc. Also i have to look into setting up an alternate payment method (no credit card yet). In other words,i do not deliver to belgium, yet...

I intend to do so in the future, but for the moment i can't help you out.

 

[poilbrun]

OK, too bad...

However, about import/export procedures and international laws, do not forget that the Netherlands and Belgium are both part of the EU and are both member of the Schengen Agreement, meaning a free circulation of goods and persons...

Looks good cergorach. When you have your complete inventory posted, I will certainly have another look.
[edit]My local shop did have some good things after all, so I am not in an urgent need atm (well, I have the need, but not the money ), but when I am in need of something else, I'll remember you.

Sounds Great Cergorach. When I have a list prepared Ill send it over

I'll probably be looking for the "non-standard" stuff though.
What are your chances in locating other D20 material?

@poilbrun:
Thanks for the advise, i'm not really worried about it not working out, it's just that the last time i forgot to read the small print i came before a nasty suprise ;-)

@Omegium:
np. (no problem) It's good to be remembered ;-)

@Maldur:
What exactly do you mean by non-standard stuff? Something as obscure as Monkey God Games? Or more like Thunderhead Games or Privateer Press? It all depends on demand (well i want one of each for my self, that's a start ;-) which directly translates in how many i order with my distributor. If i don't order 'enough' (een relatief begrip), my distributor won't carry it and i can't order it (i'm still waiting on the FFG material oi ordered months ago). I'm currently to small to bypass my current distributor and go to his source, but when things get rolling i might just order directly from an American based distributor (Diamond Comics requires that you order $500 a month at the minimum, that's a bit much at the moment to spent on non WotC D20 material).

BTW, i just finished installing PHPShop on my site (appeltje-eitje ;-) and am now in the process of setting up a good working product structure. Anyone got any special requests, wishes, or suggestions?
