URGENT: Customs&DHL fees for the Ouya are 45€ (60$) here in Spain
Hello.
I was following the delivery of my Ouya with the tracking number you provided and i saw that my console is being held at customs since yesterday:
http://www.dhl.com.hk/content/hk/en/exp ... 9694%0D%0AIn "Further Details" it says this:
Clearance is pending while shipment waybill and/or invoice image is being generated. Next Step:
Clearance will resume once waybill and / or invoice is made available. DHL representative shall attempt to contact the importer or shipper if required.
Is there any problem? Do i have to do something but wait?
Moreover, my colleages here in Spain are being charged with 45€ (60$) of taxes when DHL tries to deliver their Ouya's. As you can see, this is more than a half the price of the Ouya itself.
So, summarizing, Spanish backers are paying:
99$ (if Ouya Standar Edition) + 20$ shipping costs + 60$ Customs&DHL fees = 180$ which is the double of the amount that US backers have to pay... And considering the console is listed here in Amazon.es at 122€ (157$), could you explain to me what is the advantage of being an early backer?
Can you please explain why are being charged so high? Can you do something about it?
I hope to hear from you.
Thanks.
