I tried placing an order on Arrow's UK site for their sale and they attempted to charge me tax. Never in my life have I seen a non-US site try to collect tax, what in the world

Amazon UK collects state taxes, though at least they don't collect VAT for US orders. Arrow collects both.

Maybe it's something new for your state? Mine has been hit for a few years that way anyway, since likely around 2020 (that's when Amazon UK seemed to started doing it) or 2022 (when Arrow probably started it up). I don't think Arrow ever has not charged VAT for me.

My state is like Number One Tax Collector in the country, so I'm sure that's what it is. Didn't realize this was the norm, guess I've just been lucky before this with retailers (though I don't remember Amazon.co.uk collecting tax, though I've been getting most of my titles from Rarewaves/eBay/Diabolik, so maybe I just missed it there too), but admittedly haven't ordered direct from Arrow since I moved here. And won't be ordering from them now...

It's been that way with Arrow for a few years now.

Ticks me off to no end that Arrow charges $45+tax and shipping for their (fabulous in the case of American Gigolo) exclusive cover on their site. With Diabolik charging $32.99 for the (terrible) suit and tie illustration cover, I just cannot possibly justify that kind of upcharge just to have the original poster art on the front.

Shawscope 2 is 50% off from Arrow direct. if I'm in the US and order from the US site, does it ship from the US? debating if I should grab it or if it's gonna have the awful Zavvi packing and get mangled in the mail, in which case it's potentially better till I can get it during a Barnes and Noble 50% off sale

this was gonna be a decider for me, I was gonna order American Gigolo with the wonderful original art, but it's of course already sold out before it's even out. so I'm stuck with the godawful suit and tie cover

The original artwork should be on the reverse cover inside the keepcase though.

which will be good but I do wish it was gonna be on the hard slipbox, simply because the cover they commissioned is such garbage. they rectified this with Silence of the Lambs at least

I did go ahead and pull the trigger on this cause you can get it for an extra 10% off with the code "ASHLEY" right now. if it's damaged I'll fight with customer service later, awfully silly to pass up at that price. let's hope I don't regret going standard shipping instead of tracked (which is somehow a $10 difference)

Thank you so much for the info, I just got Volume 2 as well.

I debated whether doing a duplicate post would be annoying or not, but I figured someone would be able to cash in on the deal. really glad you did! at that price I feel like the box may sell out soon
