I was sooo keen to get this book.....I emailed UK for cost to get a copy here  :o  :o  :o  £30.00 for the book, £18.95 for postage.....so at the moment the AUD conversion is $80.51.....and if you pay by international bank transfer, add an extra $20.00 on top, and possibly be hit with extra bank charges on the other end  :-\
The other option you have to order is to ring them & pay by CC.

I did track one down on UK eBay, but after questioning them from reading negative feedback from sellers customers....it was confirmed they didn't actually have it in stock (but were listing 10 copies are available  :-)))
Will wait patiently I think and stalk eBay  ;)

Some are ordering it through Amazon as it works out cheaper maddy.  This (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/1908202157/sr=/qid=/ref=olp_tab_all?ie=UTF8&colid=&coliid=&condition=all&me=&qid=&seller=&shipPromoFilter=0&sort=sip&sr=) may be the link.

Maddy, after reading your post (I buy a few things off the ebay uk site), I had a look on Ebay UK and here's one with free shipping to Australia .............. £29.64. No photo of the book though, so hopefully it's legit. The seller has a high rating, so looks ok. If you pay with paypal, you have recourse anyway so should be ok.

That's the seller Deb, that actually does not have it in stock!!  ;)
I emailed him, after reading the negative feedback.....he said like most sellers on eBay, they don't physically have the stock, and this book won't be available until at least the end of the month.
I let him know that he shouldn't be listing items if he doesn't actually have them for sale!

 :P :P :P.....NOW WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!...seriously, thank you Judy  :-* I shall now stand in the corner !
Picked it up for $56.74.   I don't normally spend that on cookbooks, but I believe this one will be special  ;)
Amazon Uk charged £7 for shipping, yet Uk thermomix charged £18.95 shipping.....makes a big difference.

Glad you're happy about that maddy and have ordered already.

Bad news maddy and anyone else thinking of ordering this book through Amazon - Trudy has just posted this on another thread.

'Just received an email from Amazon to say that the seller cannot fill my order for this book.  It's taken nearly a week to respond and I have asked why, as the seller had said they send internationally.  I have rechecked the site and two of the sellers have been removed and the remaining one now does not sell internationally.  Looks like my only option now is to call UK headquarters!!!!  Postage is the killer as they want 18.95 pounds per book!!!!'

No Maddie it's not the same seller.  Will have another look now.  Thanks.

Hi again Maddie,  The bookseller that you brought yours from is no longer listed but I have placed the order with the seller who is listed so will see what happens now.
Title: Re: I Love Chocolate, I Love Thermomix recipe review links - UK publication
Post by: maddy on June 20, 2013, 01:46:40 pm
Thanks Trudy.
That current listing isn't really clear on its shipping destinations, is it?
we'll both have to sit tight & wait  ;)

Update from the Amazon Uk seller I bought through:


Very sorry about this but for some reason over twenty people bought this book from us in the space of a day and we have now run out of stock , the funny thing is everyone that bought it is from Australia so it looks like it must be very popular over there

The situation at the moment is it is back on order and is due in around the 27/06/2013

I was now wondering did you want to wait or do you want me to cancel it for you and I can refund you straight away

Kind Regards
Brendan   


 I'm going to wait it, as the same thing could happen with another seller....at least I'm in the queue  ;)
Title: Re: I Love Chocolate, I Love Thermomix recipe review links - UK publication

I have reordered through that site, so hanging tight and waiting to see what happens.

This must happen all the time when one of our members gives us news of something we all want.  Pity we can't use it to our advantage and let them know we have ordered because of forumthermomix.com - down the track, depending on how many orders they receive from us,  they might be able to donate something and we could have another giveaway.  ;D ;)

Have you tried contacting Thermomix Aus to see if they will making a bulk order at some stage?

We seem to be more on the 8  ball than HO.

It would be only fair to assume that a certain amount of books be available to us to give away as prizes as part of promotion. We do so much for the TM in terms of promotion and convincing people because of our positivity that its a good thing, plus all the books that we review etc

we should be given a free TM and books here and there like other blog sites to run for competition purposes.

Postage should also not be the responsibility of moderators but included as part of the giveaway as that is stingy.
Maybe we should pass this on to MM to follow up on the forums behalf as whilst the moderators run the website and members run it earning high visits worldwide, he is earning VERY good money from advertising and endorsements. Not saying anything negative but maybe he could be a little more proactive in that respect. This forum is a money making machine and whilst we treat it as a passion of ours, there are people earning BIG money from it. Just saying.

Hi Redwood,
I did contact the UK office and asked if the books were going to be sold here.  They contacted Perth and were told no.  Shame isn't it. 
Title: Re: I Love Chocolate, I Love Thermomix recipe review links - UK publication
Post by: cookie1 on June 25, 2013, 01:49:53 pm
Yes Trudy it is a shame as I would imagine it would sell very well here.

Im surprised they don't sell it here, as the U.K sells the Australian publications  ???

Here (http://journalofafrenchfoodie.com/2013/07/01/palets-au-chocolat/) is a sort of review of the new book from a French Foodie on her blog. I enjoyed reading it.

I've just sent an email to UK-TMX to see if I can buy the book from them.  Wasn't going to but those recipes from French Foodie did it for me . . .I'll have a good browse if they agree to send it . . and then it will be for my DD for her birthday later this year

Hi Goldfish - yes you can order direct from the UK.  You can't pay for it online but if you give them a ring and ask for Lucy then you can pay by credit card.  Takes just a couple of minutes and they tell you that the book should just take 10 days to arrive but that you should have it before that.  I ordered on last week so should be here any day now!!!

Trudy - thank you! As a matter of fact, I emailed UK TMX last night to ask them about shipping charges, etc. . . .haven't heard as yet but I'm sure they'll get back to me soon enough..  I really wanted to order it for my DD's birthday . . and then later on I'll order one for me . !!  ;D ;D

See this is why digital books rock :) none of this stupid geographical boundaries, no postage costs, no import fees, not so much transaction fees.

That aside. Ooooo new Thermomix book. Must order :) More for the missus than me mind, she's the one that loves chocolate stuff.

Hey Frozzie :) well enough (despite weight increase grr). Summer is hit and miss at the moment. Till about a week ago it was very cool (some days downright cold) and grey. The sun is coming out now in the low 20's which is hot enough for me; well too hot as the sun is stronger here for some reason so getting burnt when I shouldn't.

Hope it stays in the 20s where u like it.. Careful of the sun... Your skin is prob in shock :(

It was amusing the other day as a Texan, who has recently moved here, also said he thought the sun was stronger here (though not as hot).

Hi everyone, I emailed the UK over the weekend to enquire about placing an order.  I got a reply from Louise saying it should be available to buy from the Aust HO soon, to save international postage. 

Just got off the phone from HO - they are going to start selling it from 25 November!!!  Woohoo!!  She also said it can be collected from HO for the Perthites to save on postage.  I am sure they are going to sell out pretty quickly, just make sure you leave one for me!!

I got one of these late last year (I think) and drooled over it and put it away. Most of the recipes looked great, but sooooooo fiddly!

But I did make something the other night and I will review it now... (chocolate nemesis)

Worth it - and easy peasy!
