<BLOCKQUOTE>If Christmas means business, summertime usually means travel, long trips and $#@!tails on the beach, with the traditional umbrella coming out of the glass. What better moment than the sunny holiday season to join the handheld revolution, grabbing yourself up a Nintendo DS for your entertainment needs on the go?

With this in mind, Lik-Sang is now offering you the chance to get your own NDS without actually paying for the shipping cost. That's right, after shocking the industry two years ago with the "Free Shipping Worldwide for all Games" offer, Lik Sang is now pioneering new horizons by being the first and only retailer on earth run a "Free Shipping Worldwide" service on Nextgen portable game devices. The promotion is valid for all standard systems shipping at Lik-Sang.com, including all Japan-exclusive colors, and is limited to the summertime, ending on August 31st of 2005 at midnight (HKT)* (please note that special limited editions such as Pokepark NDS, Electric Blue w/ Mario 64 DS bundle or the latest Mew Light Pink NDS are excluded from the campaign, because of short supply situation). The Free Shipping Promotion will not be performed using a slow no-name freight company: you do keep the choice with which shipping option you want to go, be it DHL, UPS, Global Priority, Airmail or EMS. At least one game must be purchased alongside the system.

The Nintendo DS is the latest innovation from Nintendo in handheld gaming. Coming with two different panels, one being a touch-screen, the latest portable machine from big N aims at revolutionizing gameplay, opening new doors for creative concepts. As with all Nintendo portable devices, the systems are region free. This means they will play games from all over the world and vice versa. If you are living in a country with 240V power outlets, you should pick one of the universal AC Adapters ($4.99) or a USB charger cable ($4.95).

Shipping is free, up to 60 US$. If, for any reason, your shipping bill is higher than that amount because you added other products (or if you are living on a remote island), your order will not qualify for the Free Shipping discount. There is also a limit in weight, marked at 3 kilograms. You can take advantage of the promotion to order along all the essential peripherals you need as long as you do not exceed any of these two caps. Also, if you are ordering software along your system, it does not even affect the total of your shipping bill at all, as the Free Shipping Promotion on games is still running and can be combined with the new campaign.

Please bear in mind that the Free Shipping offer does not affect taxes and customs duties. It happens in many countries that customs charge additional taxes on the parcels you are receiving from overseas. You should pay attention that your customs officers will probably ask you to dig deep in your pocket, usually between a few percent only up to 20% in some countries with extreme customs policies. You are free to call your customs officers for help if you want to find out how much it is, or browse through the exhaustive FAQ compiled by fellow gamers and readers. If you still have any question about the Free Shipping on Systems campaign, feel free to contact Lik Sang directly, enquiries are usually processed within 24 hours (except on week-ends and public holidays).</BLOCKQUOTE>
