Page 1 of Ordering consoles from www.dvdboxoffice.com

Has anyone had any experience of ordering consoles from dvdboxoffice? I`m thinking about importing an XBox from them as the price is very reasonable. Or can someone suggest a better alternative supplier?

1. You have to pay an expensive shipping charge on consoles - their free shipping doesn`t apply to this

2. You will pick up a hefty Customs charge guaranteed because it is shipped by courier with no customs avoidance employed

I would definately advise you to look elsewhere at places like Lik Sang or NCSX instead

Any idea what the customs charges are likely to be?

They have said that the price for the XBox including delivery will be £175, as you state it would be via courier (DHL).

As far as I can remember, import duty is about 9%, plus you have to pay 17.5% VAT on top, so it would come to around £225! Doesn`t seem like such a bargain now...

I don`t mind if it`s more expensive than buying it in the UK, I want the US model for it`s progressive scan abilities as I own a HDTV projector. As far as I can tell the UK model does not support this.
