GamerLord1986 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi, Can anyone please let me know the following, if they have imported a ps4 from Amazon UK :- 1. How long does it take to arrive 2. Any customs/import duties you've had to pay 3. Whether getting a friend to send it as a gift would/could help(I've imported games before, but not packaging as a gift didn't cost me any duty on 3 out of 4 imports I made). 4. Any damages to the unit, or how the package seemed to have been handled, assuming standard delivery was chosen as the delivery method http://imgur.com/esopzwH I would get from India, but the cost difference is huge, as on Amazon it is costing about 28.5 K, + also i'm getting the white version. Thanks in Advance, Game On, Aditya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamerLord1986 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 1. Depending on shipping method a few days to a couple of weeks. Faster the shipment the more it will cost. 2. 30% on assessed value. What this means is, it depends what the customs official thinks the value is. Not the actual value. If he goes by Indian rates its a lot more. 3. Not recommended to send it as a gift. If it falls under the scanner you'll have a painful and expensive time getting it back. 4. Ordered mine from Amazon US at launch. Packaging was impeccable. 5. 28.5K for a white variant isn't worth it when you consider customs and other hilarity. Might as well pay 33-34K for a black version (Snapdeal/FK/Amazon keep having deals) and be done with it. Or grab the ~40K bundle (console + LBP3+TLOU+Driveclub) and sell the games to recover some cost. Hey ninja, Thanks. Since you got from US, can you say if you were assessed to any customs duties by chance, and if so how much ? Regards, Aditya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
