I bought a SB3 but not a transporter, you get a good exchange rate, but will get "stung" by the courier UPS on behalf of her majesty's government :) They wont release the goods until you pay the tax, normally what happens is the courier will turn up with the box in hand, you get excited then he/she tells you that you have to pay more to release it and wont give it to you. They then give you a card to phone their call centre with your credit card details to pay. Even though the courier can take payment by card themselves there and then, they are normally in "to much of a hurry mate" and wont wait. They come back the following day to hand it to you. If you give a hard time to the driver they might be helpful take payment and save you the drama, or wait but most times not :( Take a look here for more information about the cost; http://www.slimdevices.com/ups.html Good Luck -- cparker ---------------------------------------- http://www.pembrokeshireretreat.co.uk/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cparker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2083 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29033 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
