World of Harry Potter 3-D, trading cards from Artbox

[Guest]

I think they will regret that later

[kbmum]

apparently it is IN TRANSIT what ever that means they weren't much help

My UPS box is in transit today, too.  That means it's out for delivery!   Unfortunately, no matter when it arrives, I can't open it.  I promised my daughter that we could open it together after she gets home from school.

I'd rather by a box for $55-$60 than a base set for $30.  Since this set truly is different than previous HP sets, maybe the base set prices will be higher than usual.

I've just had a email from a buyer I have sold to before on ebay, asking me can he have a full basic set and R1-R9 foil cards off me for £5, I said I would be looking at more than £5 for both combined.

I wonder what would be a good price for a basic card set?

[kbmum]

It's hard to say right now.  A few weeks ago, one US seller had $4.99 BINs for complete base sets, yet the auction I just posted today has a bidder at $29.99.  We don't know the insert ratios for the R foils, either.  Maybe that will be the same as other sets, maybe not.  There are supposedly two other chase sets of rare and ultra cards that could throw off the insert ratios, too.

If anyone receives their order today, please post the insert ratios that are printed on the backs of the packs.

there is also a seller with a $17.99 buy it now for the base sets right now on ebay (or at least an hour ago there was...not sure if it is still up) They will come down (IMO) for sure.

Also, can someone please PM me some scans as well? I only have a couple boxes coming but I would love to know what the cards look like.

[Martyn]

Could someone post any scans instead of everyone PMing everyone, as i'm sure everyone would like to see them!

[ziffy]

I think Roz said they couldn't be posted until the 15th as that's the official release date

Yes, that's right, please don't post any scans here before Friday.

[Martyn]

Would someone be to e-mail me the images then please

[HPfamily]

Sounding like a broken record here...
Why doesn't Artbox make the day they ship items, the release date!!
We all know that almost all dealers have their cases here in the U.S.
And now to have to wait an additional week+ to "officially" see them
is ridiculous!!!! I'm also still amazed there has been no more info on
this set released!!! Grrrrr!!

I have 5 boxes coming from my dealer in the US here is the tracking for it by the USPS website, what I want to know is does the international dispatch mean its gone on a flight to the UK and there now in the UK as the flight left last night.

International Dispatch, June 10, 2007, 8:38 pm, SAN FRANCISCO AMC
 Enroute, June 10, 2007, 8:32 pm, SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94128
 Enroute, June 09, 2007, 5:02 pm, SEATTLE, WA 98158
 Acceptance, June 09, 2007, 11:55 am, ARLINGTON, WA 98223

At this stage I think you just have to accept they are on their way to you.  When I have tried to follow these tracking details I have had a mixed result ie I either think it should be sitting on my doorstep but in fact they take another week to arrive or it says on the site it is somewhere over the Atlantic when it is in fact in my hot little hands  .  The fact it is on route is a very good sign.  Won't be long now 

[Martyn]

Just because it says Internation Dispatch does mean it's going to be in the UK the next day. My ststus has been International Dispatch for 8 days now!

[potter]

I hope they are in the UK now, because I paid the postage for it to arrive 3-5 days, by express mail. It has updated within the last minuite saying it has left the united states  . Then it will be in the hands of parcel force 24, when they send you a letter with a customs charge how long does it take for the letter to arrive?

[Martyn]

A day or two, they will send it first class.
If you don't mind me saying, your expecting a quick turn around, when in fact it could be another week before they arrive.
Even if you pay for 3-5 day express, that means the USA postal service will get it to the UK within that time and then it's upto Parcel Force.

[potter]

I just assumed it would be fast. I thought once it enters the UK it gets sorted through customs, then gets passed on to parcel force, who then send you a letter, I then pay the charge online and arrange delivery the next day.

[Martyn]

Yes! Once it gets through customs it will be fast. But the time between it leave the USA and is handed to Parcel Force could turn into a long process. It depends how many parcels come in on the flight and how busy customs are!

[potter]

Thanks for help martyn, I just will keep looking on the tracking and see what happens, aslong as it comes within 2 weeks I don't mind, since im off work for 2 weeks makes it easier

It's very strange that they're being shipped via San Francisco, California - typically everything I've sent to the UK has gone through New Jersey or New York.

One of my parcels is being shipped from the New Jersey airport and is taking an age to arrive, items that have came via San Francisco & New York airports have arrived quickly.
