Home consoles or heavier parcels
£28.92
The larger parcel (2-5 kg), tracked as well — home consoles travel boxed and padded.
Pokémon cards (up to 12)

United Kingdom4-7 business days · £8.10 / £12.82 / £28.92 · customs on delivery
All other countriesrate at checkout
Rates are based on the official PostNL rates (2026). Up to £135 in goods our prices include the 20% UK VAT; above that, import VAT and Royal Mail’s fee are not included — see the rules below. There is no free shipping to the UK: a parcel across the Channel always costs postage.
Delivered to your door
What you pay — delivered
Three example orders with the shipping rate for United Kingdom, and what the post may collect at the door. The amount at checkout is what we charge; the import tax is an estimate.

Ordering from the UK — the rules
What you want to know before you buy: customs and VAT, console region, power, payment and returns — no small print.
Customs & VAT
The UK has been outside the EU customs union since Brexit. Orders over £135 in goods (excluding shipping) can be placed now: that is a regular import — the checkout price excludes UK VAT, and Royal Mail collects 20% import VAT on the goods and shipping, any customs duty and a handling fee before delivery. Orders up to £135 open as soon as HMRC confirms our UK VAT registration; from then on the VAT is in our price and nothing is due at the door. Northern Ireland (BT postcodes) follows EU rules for goods: no customs and no UK VAT.
Will it play on my console?
Our games are European PAL editions — the same region as any console sold in the UK. Even the region-locked systems (3DS, Wii, Wii U, GameCube, N64, SNES) play them without any trick, and Game Boy, GBC, GBA, DS, Switch, PS4 and PS5 are region-free anyway. The one exception is the NES: the UK had its PAL-A version, mainland Europe PAL-B, and the two do not start each other’s cartridges — the product page says which one a copy is, or ask us.
Power & plugs
Consoles come with a European power supply (230 V); UK mains is 230 V too. Only the plug differs: the two-pin Europlug needs a simple adapter for the three-pin Type G socket used in the UK — no voltage converter. The Game Boy family runs on batteries anyway.
Payment
You pay in pounds sterling — credit card, PayPal, Klarna or pay by bank. The amount at checkout is what your card, Klarna or PayPal is charged, at our fixed shop rate.
Returns
30 days to return, to our address in the Netherlands, tracked. Mark the customs form of the return parcel “returned goods”, so no Dutch import tax is charged.
Which language will I play in?
Our cartridges are the English edition unless the name says otherwise (German edition, Japanese edition). Up to and including the DS, every Pokémon game runs in one language per cartridge; from X/Y on the 3DS and on the Switch you choose at start-up between English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Korean, and from Sun & Moon also Chinese — Pokémon has never been released in any other language. For other games the product page lists the language as soon as it is established; if nothing is listed, ask us in the chat.

Frequently asked from the UK
Where can I buy second-hand Nintendo games and Pokémon cards in the UK?
Right here, online: Gameshop Enter is a second-hand video game shop for Nintendo games, consoles and Pokémon TCG cards — Game Boy, GBA, DS, 3DS, Switch, N64 and GameCube — every game and console personally tested, every card checked by hand. We ship to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland: every order leaves our stock in Enter, the Netherlands, on the next working day and travels with PostNL, delivered by Royal Mail — always tracked to your door. Delivery time 4-7 business days.
What does shipping to the UK cost?
From £8.10 for one game, at most £12.82 for more games or a handheld console (up to 2 kg, priced by weight) and £28.92 for a home console or anything heavier. That is PostNL’s rate by weight plus packaging; there is no free shipping to the UK. You see the exact amount in your basket as soon as you choose the United Kingdom — and that is exactly what you pay.
How can I pay from the UK?
Through Mollie, a payment provider regulated by the Dutch Central Bank: credit card, PayPal, Klarna or pay by bank, and on your phone Apple Pay and Google Pay. You pay in pounds sterling at our fixed shop rate — your bank converts nothing. 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.
Who is behind Gameshop Enter?
A registered Dutch business — KvK no. 93642474 (Dutch trade register) — based in Enter, in the province of Overijssel. Lenn has run the shop alone since 2019: from testing the cartridges to packing your order. He answers questions personally, by e-mail or through the chat on every page.
