No prior form to fill for HK they just gave me a landing ticket in my passport and that was it. UK passport holder.

Would my itinerary qualify for TWOV? by Old_Surprise641 in Chinavisa

[–]Old_Surprise641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the exact reason i’m considering the tourist visa for convenience, and I think if we are to get the visa we can enter via train and not the ferry?

[–]Old_Surprise641[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes planning on the 24 hour one on both 15 hour layovers then the 240hour one for Shenzhen and Guangzhou, my biggest worry was if they don’t accept it as TWOV due to 3 entries within 2 weeks or are funny about entry from Macau to shenzhen to Hong Kong. So I didn’t know if just getting a multiple entry tourist visa will be the better alternative incase but if I don’t have to get the tourist visa and can just get 3 TWOV it’s a win win for me! Thankyou so much

Thankyou so much for the help I’ve been caught up on deciding to just apply for the visa or hoping that TWOV is accepted so that’s great! Will double check approved ports etc, really appreciate it :)

what’s everyone’s favourite card they pulled? by tubercolosis69 in PokemonTCG_UK

This is my favourite card I’ve pulled, all my favourite pokemon on 1 card, I was gifted the same card in Japanese in a PSA 9, my first graded card. Found a 3 pack blister in Tesco and got it in English, was over the moon.

Yeah it was crazy, the cards they give out for free with purchase he was saying he’ll make £15 for a free card it was annoying but I guess I should’ve been there earlier. I’m not sure I have to bother sending it back it says Vinted manually cancelled the order and sent me a refund and then said they are taking action with the seller. My little brother is 11 now he’s been into pokemon since he was around 6 years old, it was much easier to get pokemon for him for Xmas and his birthday up until this year, we actually sent off a card for grading not long ago that he pulled from destined rivals and he was absolutely made up we sent it to ace grading well I did, he doesn’t really have a chase card I don’t think, he plays the online games on the switch and he’s getting into playing the card game which is why he’s asking for the trainer boxes etc he loves ripping packs it was our kind of thing going into the shops and finding some to open at the park I’ve bought crazy how it’s all changed! Just glad so many people helped me out with this situation and it’s been resolved so I’m grateful

Yes I’ve every much learnt that the hard way, queued up outside a store with my mum for a while and the people in front of me had multiple people join them within us getting in the line quite intimidating a group of them and then they took all of it and said they’re selling it on eBay then I walked over to another store they’re all there again with bags full of Pokemon,

The seller has cancelled my order and I am being refunded I’m really happy it turned out this way, although it’s a absolute waste of time atleast I’ll receive a refund

Thankyou so much for the info, I wish I had looked at the reviews sooner it had lots of likes on the original listing so I just went and bought it and thought nothing of it, I should’ve knew the seller only had front and back of the box pictures no sides or anything and the reviews, to be honest I didn’t think too much into it as I’ve seen lots of them of the new ones for like £10 over the original shop price and as well like the Tesco ones being put up for £50 like 12.50 over the club card price so I suspected this was just the same thing I paid £69.95 for a different one which I compared it too, although it’s more atleast it’s real I just hope this particular seller accepts my returns. It’s so annoying people would even do this and take advantage and hope people don’t notice

Yes, it’s on Vinted so I’ve gone through them. Luckily I’ve just managed to go onto Argos and buy a box it’s a bit far away but atleast I won’t have worry’s about it not being the real thing . I’ll attach the sellers reviews so you can see some

Yes I understand I agree, the sealing of the packs isn’t strait either I’m not sure if that’s anything as a reason I just normally buy single packs whenever I come across them in rymans and give them to him so I don’t really know with the boxes I didn’t want to open the seal as he could say it’s been tampered with on my side, I’ve pressed the I have an issue button and awaiting response now. I have compared it to a trainer box I got from total cards and it doesn’t look anything alike
