Hi, Doreen!

I also could not believe what "Her Interactive" charges to ship games to Canada because Dave at Interact only charged $4.95. Since the Canadian dollar is low at the moment, it will cost more than $31 after the bank charges 2.5% to convert from US to Canadian dollars.

I'm going to wait and see if Amazon.ca has the game and, if not, I guess I'll have to miss out on this one. If I couldn't find a game here in Canada, I'd always order from Dave at Interact. Sadly, that option is no longer available.

There is always the download option available from Her Interactive if the shipping costs are prohibitive for the boxed version, although I know that there are some who would prefer to have the box and the DVD. wave

Hi, Marian!

I am one of those who prefers the box and DVD so I'll have something to throw out whenever I de-clutter 10 years later laugh ! HOWEVER, a box and DVD are not worth an extra $12, which is what it would work out to when you factor in the US exchange rate and 2.5% the bank takes for the conversion. Amazon.ca usually eventually gets all of the Nancy Drew games, so I think I'll wait and order from them. If I add something else to my order to bring the total up to $25, I'll get free shipping.

Susie, you'll have to make sure all items you order from amazon is listed as eligible for the super saver shipping (not everything is), and if you prefer the deluxe/bonus edition of the game, you won't get that on Amazon, unfortunately.

Hi, NDLVR!

Thanks for the heads up. So far, I have never purchased anything from Amazon that hasn't qualified for free shipping, but I'll be sure to keep my eyes open.

I'm sorry to hear that, family. There should still be plenty of time to get things straightened out before preorders start shipping, I would think. wave

Got an email from Her Interactive saying that quantities are running low for the preorder Bonus Edition for Ghost of Thornton Hall. So, if anyone is still thinking about placing an order, I would recommend doing it sooner rather than later. wave

It would be interesting to know how many Bonus Edition games they had in stock when the preorders started. wave

I see they announced that they were giving out the strategy guide downloads now, not the game.

Quote:

My game has shipped and I have also downloaded the digital strategy guide (and I am not going to look at it before I play the game, tempting as that is). smile
