ilmenator Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 but when you say 1 PCB cost 15$ and in my case i ve ordered 2. thats are 22,30Euro and then we have to pay taxes. how does an low value order works then, because when we over 21euro the customs add the shiping fee to the endprice and that will makes it mutch more expensive at our side. hmmm confusing me...sorry in the case that some people have more than 1 pcb´s is it better tpo split theorders in to 1-2-3 sendings ? Why do you make it so complicated? If you are really afraid of taking the "risk" of paying slightly more (to German customs), then simply order only one PCB, and order another one the week after. The PCBs are dirt cheap compared to what you would have to pay if you ordered them from a German manufacturer in 1- or 2-off quantities, and German VAT rates are absolutely okay compared to other countries...

smashtv Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Hi Tim, but when you say 1 PCB cost 15$ and in my case i ve ordered 2. thats are 22,30Euro and then we have to pay taxes. how does an low value order works then, because when we over 21euro the customs add the shiping fee to the endprice and that will makes it mutch more expensive at our side. hmmm confusing me...sorry in the case that some people have more than 1 pcb´s is it better tpo split theorders in to 1-2-3 sendings ?Yes. Just hit the order page as many times as needed, but be sure to send me a message if you want them sent on different days/not shipped in the same postal run (for some countries cumulative value across several parcels on the same day is an issue).

Some countries are meaner than Germany on this, so I am set up for (and don't mind) multiples vs. singles. Without an order management system and in house postage generation in place it would be a different story, but I have that and a crate of mailers so I'm ready...... all I need is a stack of boards to ship! ;) Best regards Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nestle Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks for clarification Tim... I indeed messed up the two PCBs ... Cool, too bad the parts kit is too juicy for our customs :D Thanks, Nestle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yves Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 Hi, I guess I'm too late for the current bulk order. Is a second run of PCB's planned or will they be available in SmashTV's shop some day in the future? Regards, Yves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 :frantics: Thanks for your work, Tim - order placed :) Just as a feedback - for me, there was no address input form in the process - i´ve sent you an email with the shipping address (which is the same as the paypal shipping address).

Hawkeye Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Cit, unfortunately the shipping and handling is added on top by the darn customz... So you might have to pay a few euros (einfuhrumsatzsteuer), but it ´prolly won´t be a big sum! Greets, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojjelito Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Once I'm through smuggling seals, I should start an underground railway for PCBs that need to cross the border. Customs should go easy on this one as it wasn't the most expensive thing I've seen. /J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greets, Peter Whether the shipping cost is taxable depends on the rules of the destination country (and often the customs inspector's mood). Since the cost of the postage is encoded in the barcode/not human readable and the customs declaration only lists the value of the contents, they will have to work for it - open the 'invoice enclosed' pouch on the outside of the mailer to get a look at the paypal invoice.... all legal/proper/labeled according to international postal rules. ;) Thanks guys! The first bundles of parcels will ship in a few hours. Best regards Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Nice! Also many thanks for the big "Invoice Enclosed" sticker - not having it on, is the main reason for me to head to the 20km away customz office, when importing cheap china stuff :). Have a great weekend! Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yves Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 Yes but not immediately after the group order. NL residents: "Netherlands-Airmail" option was missing due to an error that I corrected this morning. Hi Tim Thanks for your reply. I put myself onto the list yesterday as i couldn't find a date for the deadline for this bulk order anywhere in the forum. Am i still in for a pcb? If not i'll just order the kit for the core module and will build the seqv4l frontpanel on veroboard. A short confirmation from you on this request will be very appreciated.

jojjelito Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 My boards slipped through customs at 15:07:52 on Sunday (how's that for unnecessary accuracy?). They spent yesterday being in limbo and I got this yellow "come collect me, you bozo!" notice on my hall floor at lunchtime today. I didn't have to pay, or sufffer any other abuse or humiliation. The boards are looking mighty fine. When I'm no longer cool with all the x-mas (or whatever fits you - Kwanza, Hanukkah or some other holiday) celebrations plus yapping with the family I'm going to sneak off, let the cat assist me and solder away! Muahahaha! Big thanks to Tim/SmashTV for putting the capital S in epic Service and the H in Hyperspace shipping! /J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
