PC & Video Games
There are separate per-order and per-item charges for PC & Video Games and related products. Orders containing a console plus a game, software or accessory only incur the per-order charge for the console provided all items are in stock. Orders containing both in stock and future releases will be shipped as available and per-order charges will be applied to each shipment.
If your order contains other product lines, any relevant per-order charges also apply. Please consult the appropriate rate table above.
