EU BUYERS
VERY IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!
We are now resuming sales to the EU despite numerous problems with the mail system from UK to the EU!
EU BUYERS:
1. The package can take a long time to reach you due to customs clearance
We may use a courier if possible.
2. There may be customs tax charges to pay on delivery depending on your country since Brexit
3. Any items returned as tax unpaid will be refunded minus postage costs.
4. I'm sorry, but I am no longer able to send items to Italy and Portugal by normal mail. More than half of all mail does not arrive if untracked, or it is returned as 'not collected' or 'customs fees unpaid'. If you are from Italy or Portugal, you may want to contact me directly so that I can send a manual invoice with tracking included by a different courier that regular mail.
EU BUYERS ARE ADVISED TO GET NEW RELEASES FROM SELLMYRETRO.COM

SOFTOGRAPHY
I'm working on making a list of all CRONOSOFT's softography since we started in 2002.
This is a large task, as I didn't keep a record of all releases, lost the master artwork to some, didn't keep records of variants. I didn't even keep copies for myself. Therefore, this is very much a work in progress, and only about 25% complete so far. More to come, but feel free to take a look...
