Shipping to China via USPS from us would be $42.00 using USPS and would take about 10 days to reach you. I don't know what other import fees or taxes you might have to pay when it goes thru customs in your country.

Oh now I understood , Well buddy , Yar Thank you so very much , yes it's reached Shanghai , and Yesterday night I got these 4 bloody pages in my email . all in chinese ! which I couldn't understand anything about. All regarding my customs I had the audacity to call up the number listed , the person on the other line obviously had no idea what am I speaking , so I finally got my friend to help me out , who left no rock unturned to scare me and tell me dude they will dismantle the entire thing dude , your ebook reader is f****, they will charge our more than $200 to even clear this . I believed him and got scared Today morning I got my office staff to call them , I have to $87 to get it released , costs are piling up , but guys trust me there is nothing here in . No books as I already told you . I am still excited and waiting . Would let you guys know when I have finally received it now. |

You'd be our pioneer in getting the device from the customs in China! I'm so curious how it will go and how much it will cost eventually.
