S4 Postage (Er, shipping to you septics)

anybdy know the price?

It doesn’t look like it mate.
The shipping is free if you order direct from NI so with current exchange rates its £765.

But buy from DJTT and it’s just £565 at the minute.
Postage won’t be £200 but you may get hit with VAT & customs tax.

think its about 61 US dollars for the cheapest option,
im currently waiting on my S4 and case, and the postage to Ireland for them both was just over 100 dollars
(but the cheapest option was 81 dollars)
or something like that.

thought i got a good deal, but from reading the forums, looks like i might have to pay some custom/tax charges.

a bit disapointed about that because i didnt see any mention about it in the store,
i did find it a little odd that there was no tax, but then again, when people from the US travel to Ireland there are many places they get tax free shopping as they aint in EU,
but either way, i hope to save a bit than buying from a local store
(which is out of stock and cant say if the will have more units before xmas or not)

maybe in the DJTT store you could try to add the item to the cart and enter random info but leave the city and country correct and then it should give you the total price EXCLUDING tax but INCLUDING shipping on the next page
just dont enter card details and confirm :smiley: .

if you do dicide to buy from DJTT like me, there is no tax on the final costing
(well nothing yet anyways-hence why im expecting tax charges of some sort)

hope that helps you out…

ps. im new here guys, this is my first post, so just want to say hello to all and ive enjoyed reading the forums here and over in NI, most of the guys here seem to hang around over there too. i just wanna say, its been very helpfull reading all the comments and thoughts made about the S4.

thanks guys… :slight_smile:

Bah it’s so tempting to order from DJTT with the 10% discount but DV247 offer 4 years warranty. I know it’s probably built well but 4 years is quite good.

Maybe I just order the flight case?

well the case looks like its well worth the investment.

some nice pics of the case posted on the Native Instruments forum

real nice and snug, and looks like plenty of space for the effects knobs.

cant wait for mine

Welcome to the forum you blaggard!! :wink:

cheers big ears :smiley:

Just ordered now and was £61 dollars.

61 Great Britain pounds dollars! lol.

But really I’m trying to calculate the exact costs as well other wise I might pass.

US dollars…

61.00 USD = 38.0154 GBP

also

899.00 USD = 560.246 GBP

that is excluding tax and i aint sure if there is any or how much it will be,
but even if tax is at 20%
(just a random number guess-im hoping for zero tax lol if only)

still a better deal than the UK and Irish prices

but if i could walk into a store right now and pick one up, id gladly pay more to get my hands on it NOW…

oh and i worked out the currency rate with this site…

Give a rough idea on the rates.

It’s a bit annoying because I don’t know what DJTT will put the price of the S4 as. Will it be the price I’m paying with discount ($809.99)? Will it be the price DJTT are selling it at ($899.99) or the retail price ($999.99).

Also I don’t know what the price of insurance is so can’t put it down in the calculation. Also the discount code runs out really soon so I have to make my mind up and buy it tonight.

EDIT: Total import duty & VAT due: £132.50 for a S4 @ $899.99

EDIT 2: If they put the price down as $899.99 you save about £15 than if you bought it from a UK store and one offers 4 years warranty. Really gutted, might have a cry.

why not simply order from westenddj ?

Was going to order from Dv247. 4 year warranty. Just wanted to support DJTT and the 10% off offer seemed generous. It is. Think it’s just a bitch that we have to pay so much import tax.

yeh, its a bitch alright,
oh and thanks for posting that link for the import duty calculator thing.
hope i dont have to the amount of import duty that thing gave me,
or i wont be a happy camper.

wish DJTT simply stated clearly that shipping to other country’s was subject to duty tax etc

but ive ordered, so ill wait and see how much extra it will be when it gets here.
oh and i hope it aint to much longer.

I just received mine today from the states (haven’t stopped playing it :slight_smile:

Came in 3 days and only cost me £26 in import tax :smiley:

I think it’s probably a good idea to edit your post tom - not the kind of thing to shout out…

Can’t you just make up an order and check the total price including shipping when you input your address? You must be able to find out the exact price before paying it!

I think its the import tax people get worried about.
