Yeah I got this offer through my email from E-On. Seems like a reasonable offer but I've got no interest in Poser unfortunately.

Owner of Vue to get Poser5 http://www.curiouslabs.com/go/vueoffer Owner of Poser to get Vue 4.2 http://www.e-onsoftware.com/p5

I already did that. When you get there where is the link button, anything, that says "get it like right now !" There is a link there to register for later but where is the link "get this offer ! pay cash ! now ! button? I'm sure it's there but it don't show up on Mozilla so the page code is C*ap !

Went to order Vue 4 and found the choice on the map to be UK or Europe.
I live in Ireland (the Republic) so I click on Europe and the price is 99 for the English Lang. version, which is fine. However, Ireland is not on the list of drop down European Union countries, Huh?
Went back to the UK page and yes Ireland is listed there, and those of us ordering from Ireland have to pay in UK (Sterling) even though we are are members of the Euro ().
So now I will have a currency conversion charge/cost on my CC.
I really think a company like Vue with its European heritage should be more aware of its enviorns.
As the French say "Vive La Republic!
How would USA online customers feel if they were shopping in a USA-based-site but classified under Canada or Central America and have to pay and convert through Canadian Dollars to get the product.
It just leaves a poor impression of the company.

I have tried at curiouslabs as if I wanted to buy Poser 5 (I have it already). I took my address in Paris and if I would buy, I would have to pay 71 $ for shipping!!!! That's crazy.

BTW Benettor, if you buy Poser for the full price, you would have to pay the shipping too:-(. I did so and it came very expensive, because I also had to pay the VAT when the object came to my house!! This is the problem of most European countries. Guitta

very crazy :( this is the BIG problem Another reason for the piracy grow and grow... these money are not fear:(..anyway i dont know what i must do... 100$ are so much :(

The reason is that they send if by a "private" transporter, not by normal mail. And these transporters (UPS etc) are very expensive. On the other side, they are very sure too. With normal mail you never know if you get your object (my experience).

I took my copy of vue with normal mail...POst and many other appl like that and never ever i had problem:(

And... private transporters are very fast. I got my Poser within 36 hours.

Me too for Vue. But at curiouslabs apparently we have no choice. Only one choice for me, the one for 71 $:-(. You know that Poser 3 was for free in many magazines a while ago. If you cannot afford P5 right now, maybe you may have a look in all sorts of computer magazines. I have one for free, but it is in French language, this would not help you, I think, otherwise I could send it to you. And there is no book of course.

No :) Thnks guitta i know Poser very well.. i have a friend who has poser 4 and i work with it many times.. but now i want poser 5 just for my creation :) with vue ofcourse

Only if someone buy for me from usa (usa Citizen) and i sent him the money via card:P I saw from amazon ,for usa people the poser cost 139 $..only no for us :((europe)_

I guess I must have caught Curious Labs at an, uncharacteristically, sensible momement when I bought Poser 4 (July 2002). It shipped from an agent in Ireland, got here (the UK) in 3 days and no extra tax to pay. How's this for sensible though? If I download an ESD upgrade from P4 to P5 from the European site it's 169 euro (approx. $189), from the US site it's $119 (approx. 101 euro). Are the phone line between here and the US much cheaper than those between here and Germany or something? John

MightyPete, it doesn't work in IE either - CL's webmaster must be out of town...brilliant. Hmm...when I try to order via the regular shop, I'm redirected to egisys.de which has no mention of this offer...what am I missing here? (I live in Denmark)

Guitta

If you hit the Web Store button, and you're in Europe, you get redirected to the German site. No offer listed there and downloads are MUCH more expensive!

You should NOT hit the Webstore button!!!

Anyway Guitta i already order my copy of poser 5 5) Order Confirmation Thank you for your business. Your order has been completed Poser 5 - Full Version 1 $ 149.00 Shipping: $ 100.11 Total: $ 249.11 BUT the big but why the europian citizen are so stupid like me to pay so much money for nothing ... i mean for shipping:((((((((( Anyway everything for the ART...:)

The german site @jwhitham is the web store for curius.. but the offer (vue-poser) is the link who guitta saw u...follow guittas's instructions!!!

I hope to has everything inside the poser5 and the manual ...i wish:.. and no only the cd with software

You have now a nice Christmas present for yourself. Forget the price, eat pure rice for 3 weeks and be happy:-). Bying a software is always a "hole in the bourse", for me too:-( Guitta

Yes Guitta but i saw many people who just enjoy this stuffs with piracy warez way and dont pay nothing for all of those no fear money... the companies must thinking about that and the people who want to pay some money for these softwares must keep well and happy... i think i am stupind who pay so much money for nothing ... Yes good christmas present :)

Okay, I misunderstood the layout (d'oh!), but I still think 80 dollars is too much. I also have to add duty (around 5%) and VAT on top of that (25%), plus the local Fedex handling charge (around 15). Nice offer, but I think I'll pass.. :(

Let's all live in USA:-)

Benettor, the German site is the web store for European customers, if you can get into the US purchase area - as the offer link allows - you can get some much better prices. I was just about to upgrade from Poser 4 to 5 - e-download, I don't really want the manual - for 169 Euro but, thanks to this link, I've just dowloaded for 101 Euro - saving 40%! Thanks Guitta!

Just to add to the confusion, I've just received a mail shot from Eovia. It makes special upgrade and sidegrade offers to Carrara Studio 3, plus a separate Poser 5 sidegrade from any Eovia product. The cost of the Poser 5 sidegrade is 199 (incl. VAT) plus 10 post and package. As this was addressed to me as an "Eovia user", it looks as though it even applies to registered users of one of the free versions of Amapi that were issued on various cover disks not so long ago - that'c certainly the only product of theirs that I own. I have yet to confirm that, but it could be another interesting alternative way to purchase Poser 5. If any other UK user in a similar position wants to check up on the situation re the free Amapi versions, there is a phone number of 01526 352524, or email frank@eovia.com, or I guess visit the web site at www.eovia.com

I gave it brain damage, that page. I filled out the form and the shipping came to $122.21, Now there is a deal. How about pay full price and get free shipping instead?

I got Poser 5 on Ebay (Used once and not yet registered) for $100. Everything was still with it (even the ads that CL sticks in the box with it, and the cellophane wrapper the CD sleeve was in) As soon as it arrived I was able to register it with CL as the original owner. All that for only $100 + about 12.50 shipping.

@martian_manhunter where do u live ? which country?

USA

Yes ...... look the start of the post here ... i live in europe and we have to pay much more money for shiping for everything ....You are lucky:)

Some people on eBay will ship internationally ; and they usually don't charge $75 or $100 for shipping either...

I went there and i saw ebay with 139$ poser 5 from amazon but when i want to order they told me they can not :(

Isn't there a Euopean version of Amazon.com? Something similar to Amazon.co.uk?

Attached Link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/

Germany http://www.amazon.de/ France http://www.amazon.fr/ There is a Danish one as well and a Japanese one.

there also amazon .... europe sites are still expensive:(

That's too bad Benettor. I was hoping the savings in shipping from a European based Amazon would make up for pricing differences.

Walther, I have tested to order with an imaginative German address, but I get 71$ for the shipping. How is your's possible. Can you try to tell us exactly what you did? Have you ordered on the given page or somewhere else? In Germany maybe? Guitta

I can not beleive:(((((((((( wabe i ordered also and my shipping was 100$ serius :( when i put my order the only way was with 100 fedex shiping .. i can not understand... Guitta must doing something about that ..please !!! 5 $ with 100 $ big diference:(
