Was just looking at 2+2 store and went to checkout with a book, saw that shipping was at lowest like $20 or something.. ! Same price as the book lol.
Anyway, when you do the 5 free books bonus is this cost paid for aswell or do you have to pay it yourself?

Yes, the free books are shipped to you free of charge.

Here is a quote from the Two Plus Two Poker Book Bonus page describing the offer:

To the best of my knowledge you don't get charged shipping regardless of where you are.

Are you sure you didn't just buy the books from the 2+2 store?

We pay the United States postal sevice for shipping. The only thing I can think of is that the Belgium post office is charging you extra.

Can confirm that the belgian post office charges 10 euros for these things.

Still, I received books which in value are worth more than 100 euros so it's still really cheap

. will do a second bonus soon I think.

I'm also from Belgium. The 10 Eur is a cost applied by the customs agency (douane) for incoming packages that are worth more than $30.

I thought books were duty free in most countries.

Could any of you fellow-belgians confirm how long it takes approx before the books arrive? Mine were sent 3rd of november and still didn't get any news.

Just wondering, not complaining

Apparently, the Belgium Government is trying to keep their citizenry from becoming educated and/or has decided to profit from the desire of their citizens to be educated.
