Who does this

Every game goes through one pair of hands.

I have collected myself since 2018. I know what a real label looks like, whether a Pokémon save survives the console being switched off, and how to spot a fake EEPROM. That is why I test every game before it goes out the door.

Lenn HodesEnter (Overijssel), since 2019
Tested on real hardware
Save battery, cartridge label and whether the booklet is there. No “works as described” — it has been switched on here.
Six authenticity checks
Screw type, label print, memory chip, circuit board, weight and save test. Reproductions are a plague; they do not get through.
Shipped from Enter (Netherlands)
From a personal archive, not a dropshipping warehouse. PostNL with Track & Trace, all the way to the Emirates.

All other countries3-8 business days · rate at checkout

Rates are based on the official PostNL rates (2026). UAE VAT and any customs duty are not included — see the rules below. There is no free shipping to the UAE: a parcel across the world always costs postage.

Ordering from the UAE — the rules

What you want to know before you buy: customs, VAT, console region, power, payment and returns — no small print.

Customs & VAT

The United Arab Emirates are outside the EU. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty (Dubai Customs, since 3 August 2026), but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added as well. None of this is included in the price at checkout.

Will it play on my console?

Our games are European PAL editions. Consoles from several regions are sold in the Emirates, and region-locked systems (3DS, Wii, Wii U, GameCube, N64, SNES, NES) only start a European game on a European console. Region-free systems play every edition: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, Switch, PS4 and PS5. Not sure about your console? Ask us in the chat.

Power & plugs

Consoles come with a European power supply (230 V), the same voltage as the UAE. Only the plug differs: a travel adapter for the British-style Type G socket is all you need.

Payment

You pay in UAE dirhams — Credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. The amount at checkout is what your card is charged, at our fixed shop rate; your bank converts nothing. Prefer PayPal? Choose euros at checkout.

Returns

30 days to return, to our address in the Netherlands. Mark the customs form of the return parcel “returned goods”, so no Dutch import tax is charged.

Shipped from the Netherlands

  • Your order leaves our own stock in Enter, the Netherlands, and travels to you with PostNL — always tracked, so you know exactly where your parcel is.
  • The United Arab Emirates are outside the EU. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty (Dubai Customs, since 3 August 2026), but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added as well. None of this is included in the price at checkout.
  • Not what you hoped for after all? Send it back within 30 days to our Dutch address — more generous than the 14 days the law requires.
Delivery time to the UAE5-9 business days

We ship from the Netherlands: your parcel crosses the world, so it takes longer and costs more than a domestic delivery. Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty, but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imports; above AED 1,000, 5% duty is added. Emirates Post collects it before delivery — it is not included in the price at checkout.

Why does shipping abroad cost this much?

Inside the Netherlands a single game fits through the letterbox — AED 18.18, tracking included. That service stops at the border. Anything leaving the country goes with PostNL as an international parcel, which is a different and considerably more expensive service. That is where the AED 148.57 comes from: the border itself is not what costs money, the cheap service simply ends there.

That amount covers the PostNL rate to your country plus the packaging: bubble mailer or box, an antistatic sleeve for the cartridge, and tape. We never drop the tracking — on a parcel that crosses a border, shipping without proof of delivery is a risk for both of us.

You pay in UAE dirhams

Frequently asked from the UAE

Do you ship to the United Arab Emirates?

Yes, to all seven emirates. Every order leaves our stock in Enter, the Netherlands, on the next working day and travels with PostNL, delivered by Emirates Post — always tracked to your door. Delivery time 5-9 business days. The UAE has no postal codes, so you can leave that field empty at checkout; a mobile number helps Emirates Post reach you.

What does shipping to the UAE cost?

AED 148.57 for 1-3 games and AED 222.96 for a console or 4+ items. That is the PostNL rate for an international parcel plus packaging; there is no free shipping to the UAE. You see the exact amount in your cart as soon as you choose the United Arab Emirates — and that is exactly what you pay.

Will I pay VAT or customs duty?

Goods worth up to AED 1,000 are free of customs duty (Dubai Customs, since 3 August 2026), but UAE VAT of 5% applies to imported goods; Emirates Post collects it before delivery. Above AED 1,000, 5% customs duty is added as well. None of this is included in the price at checkout.

How can I pay from the UAE?

Through Mollie, a payment provider regulated by the Dutch Central Bank: Credit card, and on your phone Apple Pay and Google Pay. You pay in UAE dirhams at our fixed shop rate — your bank converts nothing. Prefer PayPal? Choose euros at checkout. The payment page appears in English.

Are the games authentic?

Every cartridge is personally tested and checked for authenticity before it goes online — label finish, product code, weight and a working save function, plus the security screw and the board inside on Game Boy cartridges. If you ever receive a fake from us: money back.

Do PAL games from the Netherlands work on my console in the UAE?

That depends on the console. Our games are European PAL editions, and consoles from several regions are sold in the Emirates. Region-free systems play every edition: Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, DS, Switch, PS4 and PS5. Region-locked systems (3DS, Wii, Wii U, GameCube, N64, SNES, NES) only start a European game on a European console. Product pages state the region for every item; ask us in the chat if you are not sure.

Do the consoles work on UAE power?

Yes. Consoles come with a European power supply for 230 V — the same voltage as the UAE. Only the plug shape differs: a travel adapter for the British-style Type G socket is all you need, no voltage converter.

What about returns from the UAE?

You have 30 days to return your order — more generous than the 14-day EU legal minimum. Send us a message and we will sort it out together; the return goes to our address in the Netherlands. Mark the customs form “returned goods” so no Dutch import tax is charged. If something does not work, the return is on us.
