Did anyone from the UK manage to grab a Swag Bag? If so, could you tell me how much the shipping was for it?

£45 for something that should only be costing you £20 at most for the item. That's £25 for the shipping. Not cool.

As much as I might want a bad, the price of shipping is unbelievably high and I'm simply not prepared to spend that much.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I know right. I could wait another week - presuming they keep restocking them - but that most likely wont happen.
Congrats to everyone who got their swag.

Do you know I did think the same thing, you do however end up owning a small piece of bungie history and i personally don't mind paying the price of a few beers to get it to my door!

But we are human and our free will is what seperates us from the sheep!

£45!!!

They can shove it up their :ss

That's -blam!- ridiculous, I was prepared to pay £30 which would mean shipping would be £8 which is more than fair.

£45 is just taking the :iss

C'mon it's not that much for a little bit of history! But i did buy legendary edition so compared to that £45 is cheap ha ha

If you're reading this, congratulations. You've just pressed a button to find out a little bit more about me. Not that you will, but well done anyway.

The shipping for individual items to the UK is very high, but the shipping charge doesn't increase much per extra item. What I did was buy many items, so that way I don't pay more for shipping than the actual item.

Of course, I'm spending a ludicrous amount of money overall, but hey, Bungie is only having one 20th anniversary!

  • 06.23.2011 1:54 PM PDT

Sorry bungie.

Have been a fan for 10 years but I'm not paying £45 for a bag that at the very worst I'll get "£20 worth of cool stuff".

Absolutely ludicrous.

Exactly. I may have to visit the bank tomorrow. Although, this is the -last- time I'm dishing out for Halo memorabilia/Swag!

£45 is not cheap to a student who has no job.

  • 06.23.2011 1:59 PM PDT

We were somewhere around Barstow...

Whatever, I've been unemployed for over a year and have very little disposable income but I'm totally willing to pay the shipping costs. Come on, one guy got a bag full of Zunes! I'd say the contents of a bag would make up for any shipping, now if only I could actually get one.

I've bought ever Legendary, Limited, Special Edition of every Halo game there is so it's not about the money. It's about the fact that I'm plain getting ripped off by Bungie.

And yes by Bungie as they know full well amazon have a ridiculous international shipping rate and they still choose to partner with them.

I'm glad 343 now run all things Halo, I'm fed up of getting screwed by Bungie.

Damn straight

£45! wow....

I could go on Amazon and buy some really cool Halo t-shirts for £45.

I'm sorry but I am not paying that much for a swag bag and I like to think of myself as quite a loyal fan, having bought Legendary and been playing Halo for 10 years now.

Congrats though to everyone who did get a bag.

Yeah, I don't think I can get away with purchasing anymore. I mean, the strength of the Pound with regards to the Dollar is somewhat comforting, but its still a lot of money to spend.

Having said that, I'm fully expecting Bungie to offer up some more swag over the next two weeks that I'll be sorely tempted to get. I'll probably come back tomorrow and find that one thing I've always wanted but never known I've wanted!

Best do some overtime methinks...

Its not cheap to a student who has one either.

Absolute BS. I even bought the legendary edition and Reach xbox as a think you to bungie and to get every last bit out of there last halo game.

But I was happy doing that, paying £45 is not worth it when I'm getting a £20 product, no matter how much I like Bungie.

At least you have time. All I have is EMA, most of which is spent on bills and food supplies.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

How much do you people think it costs to ship from the west coast of the US accross North America and the Atlantic to get to the UK? Are you used to paying lower rates elsewhere?

I didn't manage to grab one either - but I'm also curious to know this, seeing as I'm aiming to grab a T-shirt and a poster.

I think it's more that it costs more to ship it then the actually product itself is worth. I feel bad for those paying in Euro.
