Play.com have just started stocking a few of the Dreamcatcher games but I haven't found another UK company that stocks anything good at all. The only USA company i have found who charge a fair postage rate & will post airmail is cdaccess. Hints & tips welcome Thankyou When in doubt, cuddle a cat

I've been really impressed with their customer service. And, to Gameboomers! "How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on." - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

As you already know, I use play.com and amazon but I am sure the wonderful people here on the board will have a few good ideas.... Karen Don't cry because it's over.... Smile because it happened!

So far I haven't had to pay import duties on any games or DVDs I've bought - one thing is to keep the value of each package low so don't buy loads of games each time. Are you in touch with many other Adventure gamers in the UK Jenny? Used to answer to "Peter Smith", now answers to "Peter Rootham-Smith"

The speed of service and excellent postal rates (7 US dollars without box - 10 US dollars with box) is terrific value. Have a look for yourself and I know that you will be totally satisfied if you give it a try. Courteous, prompt and totally reliable service which is second to none. A couple of years or so ago I was ripped off by FedX and avoid it like the plague. Interactcd send the packages by air mail and not once have I been stung for VAT over here which I was when packages came via FedX. Hope this helps Bernie ***PS If you go to this site via the link above, click on 'PC Games' at the top of page then scroll down to 'adventure games' and other listings
