Feedback Gaming (Q): MyNintendo Store Buying from UK Or EU question?

2DSGamerdude · Dec 13, 2022

Hi all,
um i'd like to ask one question about buying from the MyNintendo Store,

can you buy from the uk store & pay in your card's currency (euro) & have them ship my the prouducts
or do you have to use the EU mynintendo store? nice the uk one uses Pounds instead of euros.

im not sure if you can buy from the mynintendo store & pay in euro to have it shipped to greece for example,
i remember a couple of years ago, you could not do that, but now i think you can?

my nintendo account is eu, so i should be able to buy stuff from the uk MYnintnedo store & have them ship it to my country?

i checked recently the store & on the shpping options it had greece included as a shipping destination for standrad shipping (4.99 euro).

this wasn't there some years ago. not sure how new this is?

also can i buy games via the nintendo uk website & pay in euro like on the switch system?

thanx

Maybe try to get the currency changed over then try to buy it then get it shipped over? You can also see if said product is on ebay or amazon

yeah, i'll try that, i think since the option to ship x item from it's store has greece as an option, then it must work or it wouldn't have it in the avalable contires to ship too. i just hope that i can pay in my cards's currency. tho
i remeber some years ago that the mynintendo store in the uk didn't allow shipping to greece, maybe they changed that? recently.

i'll login with my nintendo account to check. if it works or not.

on amazon uk or de when i try to buy a dlc expanison pass, i get an error message on checkout that the order can't go thorugh due to geogrpahical loaction.

hope on mynintendo it'll work.

if so, then that would be good to buy games in carts from them that might be getting rather hard to find atm like bayonetta 2 for example. etc or super mario 3d all stars (cart) ofcourse.

If thats your issue with game purchasing, you may need to get it off the e-shop or try and see if a physical cart is available.

yeah, well for some games, but there's amazon uk/de for the ones i can't find in my country for example.

hm.. i checked and they only ship to to parts in the uk, so nope.
but i found that mynintendo store Ireland which is in english & uses Euros as payment currency can ship to greece,
so that should work in my case?

there is also all the eu my nintendo stores that have euroes as payment currency, but they are not in english unfort.

i'll test out mynintendo ireland to see if it works, buy something rather cheap in price & see if they will ship it over to my conutry.
like a mynintendo reward or something around the 30 euros price.

If they ship to Greece that would be awesome, I know like Nintendo of Japan won't ship to the US, so I had to use forwarder service.

A little idea, https://www.shippn.com/ allows you to buy in a different place and get it shipped to you so you could do that

yeah, i checked on the delivary optons under a product and in the conutry selection, greece is included as an avalable option,
so it should work, or if it didn't it wouldn't be on the list as an option. i think.
