Did you have to pay import tax on your PBP?
|
No: (non-business use laptops/computers are duty/tax free)
Location: St Kitts (Caribbean) However, the shipping address I used at checkout was fright forwarder, I had to pay them the equivalent of $10 USD to ship via air (https://amerijet.com/). Laptop - $199 DHL to Miami - $33.00 Air fright to St. Kitts: $10.00 Total: $242.99

My ANSI PBP arrived on January 20 without any discrepancy.
In addition to the USD33 shipping the following fees were paid on delivery: Ontario HST (13%) CAD40.71 DHL Motivation Fee (+ HST) CAD 11.25 (+ 1.46) DHL Executive Bonus Fee (+ HST) CAD 5.25 (+ 0.68) Total CAD 59.36 Is there any reason why Pine wouldn't provide one or two alternative shipping options? While the sales tax is expected, the lack of transparency regarding the follow-on DHL processing/transacting fees is disconcerting. Although I am admittedly spoiled by free shipping from ebay/amazon/other HK electronics sellers. Anyways it's a very nice machine.

No. Ontario, Canada. I was surprised (pleasantly) as DHL usually is the worst for import fees.
