I thought that you, of all people, would have received a tracking number.
Me too. On the phone, Ross did ask me what my order number was, to give me my tracking number.

But I didn't have it with me... If I had, I would have a tracking number I guess...


when you do get a tracking number, I don't think it will warrant a new thread.
Don't worry... I create new threads when I have a major news, and all the other thread subjects do not fit.

Question for MartinPierre:

I know you're in Canada, but is there any chance of finding out what UK shipping options AU is planning for the lunchbox/extra DVD

My concern is that UK customers (like me) have had the more expensive express service - which means we've paid brokerage fees as well to UPS. All in with taxes we've paid $45 USD to receive it! which is half what we paid for the set in the first place.

Im really worried what we might have to pay to get the next one - whenever that is. Technically we've already paid taxes for the $99 USD so how can we get free shipping?? (ie no more taxes to pay and no brokerage fees) any ideas?? ive emailed AU but they never answer direct questions.

I know a $30 USD gift voucher was mentioned - what a joke could they just make sure we dont have to dish out any more cash!!

I hope that AU declares the value of the lunchbox and bonus disc as low as possible - if the declared value of these items (+ shipping) is below EUR 22 / £18.00 then there will be in most cases no customs or import taxes applied (at least in the European Union AFAIK). But UPS could still charge brokerage fees.

Here are informations about customs and taxes in the European Union:

A Any goods purchased from outside the EC are liable for duty and in some cases VAT. If you have been sent a gift and the value is under £36 you will not be liable, over that amount you will be charged depending on the product. For purchases bought by yourself with a value over £18.00 you may have to pay duty depending on the product; it may also be liable to VAT. Under that amount you will not be liable

Dieser Wert wird nicht nur durch den für die Ware gezahlten Rechnungspreis sondern z.B. auch durch Aufwendungen für Transport, Verpackungen und Ladekosten bis zur Grenze beeinflusst. Sind solche Kosten nicht im Rechnungspreis enthalten (z.B. bei "Ab-Werk-Lieferung"), so sind die mit der Beförderung verbundenen Kosten bis zum Ort des Verbringens über die Außengrenze der Gemeinschaft in den Zollwert einzubeziehen und damit auch einem Wertzoll zu unterwerfen.
Nur wenn im Rechnungspreis der Ware schon die Transportkosten enthalten sind (z.B. bei "Frei-Haus-Lieferung") kann unter bestimmten Umständen der Wert der innerhalb der Gemeinschaft entstandenen Transportkosten aus dem Rechnungspreis herausgerechnet werden. Diese Regelung gilt aber nicht für den Postversand mit kommerziell verwendeten Waren. Postgebühren sind hier in voller Höhe in den Zollwert einzubeziehen.
Dies gilt sinngemäß auch für die Erhebung der Einfuhrumsatzsteuer.
[..]
Freibeträge:
wenn keine Zölle oder Verbrauchsteuern zu zahlen sind, sondern nur die Einfuhrumsatzsteuer (EUSt), und der Einführer die EUSt als Vorsteuer bei seinem Finanzamt absetzen kann, werden EUSt-Beträge bis 10,23 EUR nicht erhoben.

Sendungen mit geringem Wert:
Keine Einfuhrabgaben werden erhoben, wenn der Gesamtwert je Sendung 22 EUR nicht übersteigt.

Ainsi vous êtes redevable des droits et taxes exigibles à l’importation. Ne soyez donc pas surpris si en plus du prix affiché par le vendeur, ces droits vous sont réclamés par le service des douanes françaises.
Le droit de douane est perçu sur la valeur majorée des frais de transport et d’assurance. Son taux est fonction de la nature exacte du produit.

Nota : Les biens peuvent être admis en franchise des seuls droits de douane à l’occasion d’un achat par correspondance à une société établie dans un pays tiers (non-membre de l’Union européenne), sous réserve d’une part que la valeur du colis expédié, frais de transport et d’assurance exclus, ne dépasse pas 22 euros ; d’autre part que les produits n’appartiennent pas aux marchandises suivantes (boissons alcooliques, parfums, eaux de toilette, tabacs et produits de tabacs).

Dans tous les cas la TVA doit être payée. Le montant de la taxe est évalué sur le prix de la marchandise augmenté des frais de transport et d’assurance ainsi que des droits de douane.
All other EU countries: Try to find something on http://europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_customs/index_en.htm
and http://europa.eu.int/comm/taxation_cust ... slinks.htm



On the other side, if AU decides to ship these items with regular mail, it may be almost impossible to track a shipment (e.g. in case it gets lost somewhere).
