Under the Dome Collecting Discussion

[frik]

Has anyone opened the US S/L?

I always open, and read, my S/L's.
That's what books are for, isn't it?

Has anyone opened the US S/L?

Well, sure. What good is a book all sealed up?

Has anyone opened the US S/L?

I opened mine, too. Had to check the sig and wanted to put it in it's pretty "Collector" slipcase with the card slot!

Here's something new with the UK paperbacks:

http://www.hodder.co.uk/underthedometesco/index.html

Apparently -- through this "Tesco.com" site -- they are offering an exclusive 5th cover. It says it will be a random pick when you order one ... BUT ... they have a "5 Book Shrink Wrap" set for sale!

http://www.tesco.com/books/product.aspx?R=9781444707670



I WANT!! And dammit -- this site doesn't accept US orders.

Soooo .... £27.97 is roughly $44 US. The site is offering free delivery in the UK. If some kind, loving UK soul where to order this for me -- make sure that the box it comes in is safe enough to re-ship in -- and send it along to me here.... how much it cost to have a brick of 5 books like that sent to the US?

Depends on the weight. Here is the Royal Mail price list for International Mail.

This is a big deal. Hodder & Stoughton have a Signed (by King) Leatherbound "Under the Dome" as a competition prize. This will be very rare.

[namelessnpoor]

Does anyone know if you can get just the card packs anywhere? Or does anyone have any extras they wish to sell? I want 2 sets to put with my Signed 1st edition copies.

Hmmm -- i don't know nothin' 'bout no "grams" or how that translates to 5 big paperback books. Any guesses anyone?

Just over 28 grams per ounce.
1 pound = 453.59237 grams


5 Paperbacks with packaging =~ 3 lbs. or 1,361 grams. Your mileage may vary.

Good luck to you and your families!

[herbertwest]

lol MrRabbit.
I am tempted to do the same ;-)

Am i wrong, or nowhere in the terms it says that it is ONLY valids for UK residents??

ONE copy of the book. This one must cost a lot to Tesco/ Hodder. They hope to get lots of details back though

[Randall Flagg]

I entered. Won't win, but what the hell.

[jhanic]

I also entered. Didn't cost anything, so...

There not allowed to harvest personal details through competitions like this, see number 8 of the t&c's. Plus they wouldn't need to anyway seeing as how Tesco has the details of over 15 million club card members to use.

Anyone can enter the competition.

[Brice]

How? The way the form is I don't see how you would fill it out.

[biomieg]

I had no problems. Just cheat a bit (i.e. I put The Netherlands in the 'county' line); I didn't get any error messages.

[Brice]

Ah, and I was going to "cheat" by borrowing someone else's address. I'll try your way.

[Cloysterpete]

Does it still let you enter even if you don't tick the box to say you are in the UK?, if so then I would say it's open to anyone.

[jhanic]

I just entered and did not check the box that I was a resident of the UK.

John

[Brice]

I also did not check the box when I entered.
