Thinking of ordering a PSP through these guys, they seem to have a decent set
up, one thing tho' has anyone ordered something like OR an actual PSP from them, and if so did you have to pay any duties or taxes extra upon arrival, and if so...how much??

unfortunitly you do get import tax if you order with DHL but will receive the item in 3 days.

When i ordered my DS it cause 26euro to ship with regular post and 27euro for DHL. Just be careful with paying DHL the import tax as after i left for australia they sent my house a letter from their debt collector demanding the import tax even though i paid on the day with my credit card. Started saying I was gonna get bad credit if i didn't pay them in 72hrs.

sorted now but kinda pissed me off that a simple credit card transaction wasn't monitored and recorded properly before getting a debt collector onto me.

thanks for that man, as far as I know, its ups they're delivering with now at least thats what it says on their site, and they deliver from their european warehouse, wonder if that makes any diff

UPS or DHL you'll still probably get import tax as they declare their packages as they arrive in Dublin airport.

I ordered in my PSP from Playasia and paid 76eur tax. The only way you wont have to pay import tax is if it is marked as a gift and/or is under 40 euro in value. However, marking it as incorrect value wont help you if your package arrives damaged or is lost, however it is rare. Also, you would need to find a supplier willing to mark it down and/or mark it as a gift.

The PSP is worth it though

Lik Sang have a Europe depo (just ordered a Gameboy Movie Player from them and they said it would be shipped from there) so they should import themselves a load of PSP cheap and then sell them from in side the EU. They would make a killing

Mate of mine brought in a DS and got nailed for 50 euro import tax, ouch.
Then the bloody thing stopped working a week later, no comeback at all!
Bugger!

Lik Sang seem to ship smaller items to their european depot, it would be cool alright to have a more local source for PSP products, certainly allow purchases to be covered by european law when it comes to warranties.

Doubt it, the thing was still made for the japan market, not european!

my DS box has "For sale in UK / Ireland"...which would suggest the warranty would be honoured in Europe.
