I ordered a KDXG few days ago for $379 + $20 shipping + $70 Fee/Tax.
That's all. No more costs. It's still enough. The reader arrived in germany yesterday and is on it's way to me. Should be delivered tomorrow. |

There's no import duty, but you will of course have to pay shipping and VAT.

The same thing happened to me when I bought my Kindle 2 from the US. I suspect that they are perhaps deliberately "pessimistic" when it comes to total shipping costs and VAT, on the grounds that it's easier to refund an excess than to charge extra if they've underestimated the costs.

It's easier to refund than to charge extra. The same applies to budget for your IT project. |
