The duties you can expect for the GT + batteries, delivered by DHL to the Netherlands (hint: itās taxes all the way down):
Value added tax: ā¬31,92
Administrative costs: ā¬14,50
Value added tax on the above administrative costs: ā¬3,05
For a total of ā¬49,47.
My Paypal payment was $143.28. With US$1 = ā¬0.835764 , US$143.28 = ā¬119.748. If I naively use the maximum VAT from Btw (omzetbelasting), I get 119.748*0.21 = ā¬25.15, but the invoice gives ā¬31,92. It would be interesting to find out how they arrived at their value.
Is it correct to assume that all US address will be shipped first reagrdless if it was on 1st or 2batch?
For example US 2nd batch will be first before malaysia 1st batch.
GT arrived today With batteries.
DHL, Paid 12/09/2017
Eastern Washington, USA
Compared it to my MF 02 and GT out performed it no problem.
Many people are complaining about 4000k emitter, I took it out even in the fog and it cut through the fog better then cool white of the MF 02.Very happy with the result.
No, you are assuming incorrectly. There are no first or second batches any more. The first and second group to pay did that before the lights shipped so they are all grouped into one now. From #1 to #1039 on the sign up list. These numbers are useless now. So forget your #84.
Neal is now going by a new list by the order of who paid which is about 850 people. You are now #140.
When Neal grouped together USA, DHL lights with no batteries he did not include all of them. He only went up to the 576th person.
When Neal grouped together USA, DHL lights with batteries he did not include all of them. He only went up to the 740th person.
So there are still several USA people who have not got their lights yet.
These first two shipments were on pallets as there were so many all going to the same country. I donāt think Neal can use pallets any more since the rest of the shipping locations are so scattered around the world.
I donāt know how Neal will choose who gets shipped on the next shipment, but he does start at the front of the list and work his way back. If it is just a bunch of small boxes going out all over the world, then you will probably be one of them since you paid so early.
ā¦ā¦ They will just have to live with itā¦. it is celebration time. :partying_face: .
Andā¦ they still wonāt know how it happened from what I said.
People wonder why we in Europe chose āregisteredā along with a long wait. That right there is OVER half the lights value when you add it all up. I understand businesses being hit with it, but individuals buying flashlights etcā¦ā¦no. Ā£500/Euro should be the limit, not Ā£30!!!. What makes me laugh though is they charge ā¬17.55 just to charge us VAT lol!
