Oops! The contest is of course open to people in Sweden as well! I sent in my list of countries outside of Sweden that I sell to, but forgot to mention Sweden itself. blush
Best wishes,

What? No 100+ posts of people claiming that they'll stop supporting BGG because there's a contest that they can't participate in?

This is an outrage!

The reason for the initial list of countries was that they are the countries in the EU, and the ones I currently sell to. Norway was an exception as it is Sweden's neighbour and I didn't want to cause a diplomatic incident by leaving them out

I see no reason why people from other European countries can't be allowed to participate for the game giveaway as well, though they won't be eligible for the 5% discount on an order if they live in a country I don't ship to.

Aldie, sorry for the confusion, I will geekmail you about this.

Thanks, this is kind of you. kiss
Source of confusion: Europe is a geographical term, while EU is political, and yes, Switzerland is not part of EU.

I did a little bit of googling - seems Åland is not part of the EU tax union, and thus not covered by EU VAT laws - which is the part that is relevant for selling goods to them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_member_state_territorie... has a list of special territories in EU countries - many of them are not actually in Europe. (Lots of places I have no clue where they are, as well).

As can be seen on that page, Sweden has no weird territories with partial EU laws or such.

Looks like the Canadians have been frozen out yet again. They must get tired of getting the cold shoulder.
