On a few occasions, I've gone directly to the publisher's website to order games, which has resulted in a few overseas imports. I was lucky to have studied French in school, as it was quite useful for one or two occasions when a game available in English was only sold through a French language online store.

I've also paid more for shipping on a few games than I paid for the game itself. In one case (Chewy: Escape from F5) I almost didn't buy the game as shipping was nearly double the price. I only did buy it in the end because they threw in a second game free with the order. Which was nice. Doubly so because now Chewy is on the "ultra-rare adventures" list.
