A new GW Embargo dawns on the USA.

 

Hello there Reader.

 

Back in 2011 we published an article sharing with our readers our info about the imminent enforcement back then of new trade policies concerning independent retailers. In what was to be known as the “GW Embargo” Games Workshop prohibited trade account holders based in the European Community of reselling their products to consumers outside the EU.

 

It should come as no surprise that the hobby community down here in Brazil was severely affected by those new policies given that most of us here purchased from the two giant retailing stores in the UK back them.

 

One of the ways people found of circumventing the embargo was purchasing from US based stores. Their shipping charges were not as reasonable as the ones from European stores but we could still purchase our models at discounted prices.

 

It seems that window has now been closed by yet another of GW’s trade policies. In a document dated March 15^th 2013 addressing North American Trade Account holders GW’s disclosed its new blow against consumer base and independent retailers alike.
