Congratulations, kab! But ouch, that's US$165 for the customs bill.
I'm in California, the same State from which the eDGe ships, so I was hit with an extra $44.47 tax. And ironically, while it sits relatively nearby in "processing" going into the third day (what, white ones were out of stock?), the piece of computer furniture I ordered yesterday from Verona, Italy has already sailed through two cities, the export scan, and now is somewhere between Italy and the US. Looks like I'll get it before the eDGe, for the same cost of shipping and no tax or other extra charges.
The world is strange.
