    hey welcome to the forum, DC
    could you elaborate on the taxes your distributor mentioned before?
    it peeves me when they quote "taxes" and additional shipping fees when these "fees" aren't there at all.
    oh, you've got there a really cool TF website btw

    ahhh my pleasure in elaborating on the taxes part.
    this is dependant on your country itself

    like for Singapore, if your goods are known to be more than 300 SGD, then you will have to pay goods and service tax, which is set at 7% in our country. so assuming i had purchased goods from aussie, and they pass thru SG customs, and if they are declared as 1000 SGD, i have to pay 70 bucks extra.

    So it is highly dependant on the amt of taxes ur country charges.

    How to bypass this? Simple, ask the person who delivers this parcel to you to underdeclare it or ship it in many parcels + under declare it.

    You cant under declare too much esp when tis one BIG box but declarred as a cheap price.

    so thats it, hope i answered ur qn!
