Guest xorangefirex Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 I don't think we pay import duty on mobile phones but we do still have to pay VAT (value added tax) at 17.5% on purchases from abroad. So an $800 purchase would be £470 plus shipping. I think that's how it works anyway. It's even worse for things such as TV's and DVD players, they also levy a 14% import duty. We really do get screwed over. <_< That really is aweful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 When I spoke to eXpansys earlier this morning, they still had a handful of units in stock! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest markeew Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 As I posted yesterday I ordered mine from on www.devicewire.com at around midday and even though the website says order before 4pm for next day delivery I just found out I'm NOT going to receive it today. When I called to ask why their excuse was they don't have enough staff to process all the extra orders created by the demand for TyTn II. Order from this company only if you are in no rush for the device! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SierraDelta Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 When I spoke to eXpansys earlier this morning, they still had a handful of units in stock! P Paul, Can you check why my order for the MoDaCo offer of yesterday evening all of a sudden is transferred to Expansys France?? Is that just for shipping reasons? And the status went from "In stock" to "In stock at supplier - 2 days (in french, of course)" Cheers, Søren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 SierraDelta, give eXpansys a call and they'll be able to help you out, makes more sense than me doing it! P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SierraDelta Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 (edited) Paul, I did indeed call before posting here, but didn't get a clear answer. I found it all a bit confusing since I placed the order around 8pm UK time and the saw your post about a handful still being available as of this morning. Btw, the estimate has now gone up to 11 days ;) [EDIT] No worries, though, I will work something out.

Guest icecoldbeer Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi Paul, My first post, but I've been lurking around for quite some time. May I ask if you deliver in HK and how much would it cost including shipping? Thanks ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 I believe we can deliver to HK, if you go thru the order on the site it'll tell u delivery cost. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest joetrim Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Any idea anyone if there will be a MoDaCo type deal for the Australian Expansys team? Waiting on a reply from them as they do not yet have a price on their website. Alternatively, any thoughts on importing it from the overseas? Any Aussie buyers out there yet?
