I could not bring myself to pay so much and am hoping it will be possible to decline the product and obtain a refund. I am disapointed partly with Amazion for not being clearer about these fees, but mainly DHL, the shipping company, who made no refernece of them to me despite frequent emails beforehand.
I donīt suppose that anyone else has experience this and can offer advice? The 184 dollars are specifically for DHLīs Broker service. They say i can find my own broker which i intend to try, but i cannot imagine another brokerīs fees would be far lower.
I am seriously gutted. I was so looking forward to having a Kindle at last.
I hope others are not caught out this way.

I think that you didn't read. And that's something obvious. That's the reason why I never bought any gadget in internet. Hope that amazon returned your money but i have to say that was your problem.
And agree the taxes here are too expensive.
