Order from DS Germany + doubts
« on: June 02, 2011, 07:41:41 »
Since I was away (STUPID  :wall:), I missed both blue and red houses, but I see the blue is still available in the German DS.. But I assume they still have that stupid ship to Germany only policy, no?

Can someone get it for me?


Also, I read in another topic we can order parts after the sets are gone - does this mean the unicorns might still be available?

And since I'm in a nagging mood... Do we have a way of knowing the price of the stuff BEFORE placing the order? To control not only costs (euromillions evades me still :( ) but also shipping...

I think they still don't send items outside Germany  :( Sorry the blue house is not in the Greek DS catalogue anymore, for two years now frankly... The unicorns are probably available as spare parts from DS, not a very old theme after all.

If you place an order with DS, they will check availability, and get back to you with the prices and then you can have an exact picture of what you will be paying, including shipping. But as I said, no orders outside of Germany are accepted..!

.

Parts are available for about seven years after sets have been discontinued, but that doesn't mean that all the parts are available for that time.

Thank you - I'm from Portugal.

I will get back to you after looking at the catalog again, ok?

Actually from what I was told at Zirndorf last week they are down to only being available for 4 years after a set is discontinued. They are out of storage space.

Thanks for the update, Tim.  Increasing the range of themes, even if a new theme only runs for a couple of years, and adding to existing themes will explain the reduction in time.
