OVERSEAS POSTAGE
We charge extra for overseas postage, since it costs more.
We don't charge extra for overseas email, because it doesn't. It's also lots quicker.
The charge for overseas postage is 10% in Europe and 40% in North America.
See House Rules for details of how the extra charges are applied.
OVERSEAS PAYMENTS
All our UK GMs accept payments by cheque or postal orders in UK currency.
PBM Sports
in Australia accepts payments by cheque and bank transfer in Australian dollars.
Payments in US dollars can be made with our online credit card facility.
Cheques in Euros can be sent to UK GMs (they must be payable to "SSI Limited"
rather than whatever is usual for the GM).
AUSTRALIA
Many of our games are available direct from PBM Sports in Melbourne. These are
games which are run locally. You can also play in games based in the UK while still
paying Australian turnfees (by cheque or whatever) in Aussie dollars via
PBM Sports, P.O.Box 14219, Melbourne, Victoria, 8001.
CREDIT CARDS
Our credit card facility charges in US dollars, but it usable wherever you are.
Your card issuer will convert to your normal currency on your bill, and the exchange
rate is variable (their rates are usually quite acceptable).
For top-ups you need a user name to log in on the active website at
softsim.co.uk,
but there's a separate page for
credit card startups
and you can get to that right away.
TURNFEES & RATES
If your turnfees are quoted only in UK currency, then our usual conversion rates are as follows:-
|
| Euros: | UK turnfee times 1.8 |
| US Dollars: | UK turnfee times 2 |
| Australian or Canadian Dollars: | UK turnfee times 2.7 |
|
Note: The quick way to multiply a number by 1.8 is to double it, and then take one
tenth off the result. To multiple a number by 2.7, treble it and then reduce the
result by 10% (the same way).
