Harry Potter 7.2 Steelbook for GB:

Spoiler

ALL of them have been verified in store to be sure they are 100% dent/scratches free! I had the choice so I did pick the best looking! Damn wrapping doesn't help to verify, but that's been the same on all HP steelbook release.

Harry Potter Box for GB:

MAJOR UPDATE:

IMPORTANT INFO:
This exclusive boxset pre-sale is on NOVEMBER 11th, but I will only get the actual item on DECEMBER 16th. This is in LIMITED QUANTITY so first come, first served! I will limit ONE PER PERSON so that a lot of you guys get one.

How to get on the list?
Show your interest by posting here AND I will need payment for AT LEAST Harry Potter 7.2. You cannot get the boxset WITHOUT buying at least 7.2. I'm giving you the opportunity to get the other Harry Potter steel and others from Canada too. Limited to 20.

I'm interested in a lot of steel, do I need to pay right now?
If you want me to hold off item that are already out, YES so that I can secure them for you. As of right now, HP steelz are really easy to find, but trust me, with the Christmas season coming along, those are gonna sell FAST!!!

What about shipping?
This is REALLY a big thing! By committing here, you AGREE that the shipping cost WILL be important! We are talking about a box that holds 8 steelz, so you have to imagine the size of it! The weight will also be significant!
Shipping cost WILL be at COST! I will give you a specific amount as soon as I got the item in hand!
International buyers, be aware that shipping with Canada Post is expensive!!!

So, what's the cost?
As of right now, the cost is only for the steel BUT you have to add the following:
- Shipping (at cost)
- Boxing materials: 10$ per order
- Paypal fees 4% on the total
- Tipp (YES I'm doing all this at cost, but I consider my work deserves some consideration)


IMPORTANT FINAL NOTE:
This item is going to be REALLY rare and hard to find. That is why I'm doing that GB, but since Future Shop isn't really clear about all this, IF unfortunately I cannot get all the boxset that I take pre-order for it, you agree that it is NOT my fault. I will follow the list that will be listed here in that particular order.
Ok guys, back from my tour at stores. Yes, I said storeS because to avoid problem on December 16th, I did went to 7 different stores in Montreal. I will do the same tour early on Dec.16th to try my best to get my hands on the most boxset possible!

It is important to understand that it's it REALLY not clear from Future Shop the number of box they will receive. This morning, each store had about 40 copies of the steelbook. It is written in the flyer and on the bills (damn I have a lot of these...) that it is limited quantity while supply last. I bought a lot more steelz than necessery, but once again, only time will say if I can get enought box.
Once again, thanks for your understanding!

nice work drum. you had better get some nice "tips" for this one pal.

 

[manutd123]

Wow, Marc you and your fiance have really outdone yourselves!!! Absolutely fantastic, for many this is going to be such a Xmas treat.

Thanks so much, it's really appreciated.

It's not over yet though, as the dreaded packaging and posting can take an age, but we are all so thankful for your efforts that's for sure.

Cheers buddy

 

[Liselotte]

I applaud to your great effort there my friend.

 

[Holly Go]

Drums im impressed!!!...thanks for the effort..

 

[justintime2k]

Awesome job Drum

 

[megabee]

Great job!!!

If by any chance there is one more shelf available, I will gladly take one.

 

[kbr1656]

Thank you so much Drum. I agree with everyone else. You put forth such an amazing effort.

 

[Staind]

If anyone can get me one Shelf, i would marry him/her

 

[Drum18]

Ok guys. Quick update.

I've started packing and sending you some invoice via PM. Please understand that packing is taking A LOT of time since you all made special orders. So, if you're #19 or #27, remember that I have your order in stock (especially your box) but it may take few days before you receive a message from me. If you are worried, just PM

So, in your PM, you'll receive from me the quote for all your remaining SB to pay (because yes, I remember wich one didn't pay for all), the 10$ fees for packaging (I use big box + A LOT of wrapping) and all the shipping options so that YOU will be able to decide how fast your shipment may arrive to you and/or with/without tracking. Once again, this takes time, so if you didn't hear from me today/tomorrow, it's NORMAL
Oh and for tip, well, you know I'm trying not to ask, but if you're wondering, please go see this post.

I'll try my best to maximize the space in all boxes because Canada Post is charging by the size of the box and especially on the weight of it. I'm also selecting the HP box so that you're sure to receive one without any scratches or ding.

Also, to give you and idea, here's the specs of the HP box:
Size: 20x19x15cm
Weight: 466g

If you want to calculate shipping by yourself, go ahead.
Normal order (1-8 steelbook + HP box):
http://www.canadapost.ca/cpotools/apps/far/personal/findARate?execution=e1s1
Postal code: H4B 5G0 (that ain't exactly my home, but will do the job)
Destination: yours to discover
Box size: 32x26x17 cm
Weight: 200g (per steel) + 466g (box) + 300-500g (box+packaging)

Bigger order:
Shipping may cost you a lung or kidney, your choice!

Again, any specific, please use PM, I won't be far... packing...

Ok just so folks in the UK don't have apoplexy when they see the first price, scan on on down and you will find:
Small Packet™ - International Air (See Postal Guide for Delivery Standard) $50.26
Small Packet™ - International Surface (See Postal Guide for Delivery Standard) $21.07

Hope that helps, oh and that was a TOTAL example weight of 1.2kg that I used, which should be more than enough. At today's rates on Paypal that's £32.24GBP & £13.52GBP

(If it goes below 1kg IN TOTAL than prices drop to $33.45 & $15.02 (or £21.46GBP & £9.64GBP. So no pressure there Marc )

 

[Drum18]

Thanks Surf for the heads up!!!

Now for the real numbers:
Weight of 1 Steelbook + 1 HP box + boxing = 1.1 Kg.

Please remember that Ground can takes 2 Months!!! No kidding!!! The better option, IMO is Air. Still doesn't have tracking #, BUT it takes A LOT less time than Ground.

 

[surfury]

If I remember right 1.1Kg is also the lower price. Just DON'T hold me to it. You're doing a FANTASTIC job there Drum, Most Awesome.

If you continue, I'll get your box below 1 kg by removing your HP7.2!!!

I know my friend you're helping!!!

[ash333]

15 orders done for today. I'll continue tomorrow.

Help, I can't see mine

Drum, I would give you my first born if he is not already a grown-up since I am already down to 1 kidney, 1 lung, half a liver and one eye

Seriously thank you very very much (and please say the same to your "helper" too)

 

[Drum18]

Help, I can't see mine

You're pretty much the only one with a "different" box in there my friend :cough: HUGE BOX TO THE LEFT :cough:

 

[RajLondon]

Ash, your second sentence is sheer brilliance

So Drum,

You never relayed any funny anecdotes from your mission. Did any FSs give you any problems? Did you have to have any conversations with store managers?

some others seemed to have had problems reedeeming more than one, let alone what I can only assume was ~3-5 per store

Hehehehehehehehe
There's been A LOT of discussion, A LOT of refund/no-refund/how-do-we-do-that/what-are-you-talking-about-sir/you-want-5?

But the best of the day:
I don't want to go in much details, but let's just say that after the 1st store, more than half of the original GB was covered
