Title: Where to get the MNWBJR
Post by: cybermaus on February 06, 2014, 03:54:13 AM
I am having a bit trouble sourcing a MNWBJR. Especially at reasonable shipping

I see (discounted) prices of US$44~46 in US. The EU distributor has it for â,¬ 59 (also discounted). They need to make a living, so OK its a bit more expensive. That's why I bought the Classic with them also rather then trying to hassle with international purchase myself.

But then when I press checkout, the shipping cost jumps from â,¬ 13 to â,¬ 30! For an item that is so small it can probably fit in a padded envelope. I am willing to pay people their margins. But I am not willing to pay US$120 for for a US$46 item.

Anyone has any suggestions for either an alternate EU shop, or a US one that can ship to EU.

Never mind, the EU reseller came back to me with a more reasonable â,¬ 6.95 shipping.

Still paying plenty for it (â,¬59 = $79 vs $44 in US) but I concede he has to import and stock it, so that is acceptable.

Not being in the US I use the US Postal Service (USPS) as one does NOT incur the exorbitant DUTY FILING FEES that all the Courier companies love to apply...
ps In Canada we have a GST instead of VAT...
