Ordering from Amazon US vs UK

[Glordit]

Greetings,

I've been wanting to order a SHIELD Tablet for quite a while now but have been going back and forth on what the best way to get one here is.

Has anyone had experience ordering hardware or tablets/phones from Amazon and if so, which did you use, US or UK?

I've noticed that the UK pricetag is a little more on the SHIELD tab in the UK than in the US but maybe it balances it out in terms of shipping.

Also what have been your experiences with customs charges on these types of things?

Any and all feedback is welcome Thanks

Firstly check that it can be sent to SA, a lot of people resell on Amazon and refuse to ship to SA, so unless it's stocked and sold by Amazon you are out of luck.

Checked out the .co.uk site, Payment Total: ZAR 5,947.57 incl. Import Fee's and Postage.
.com Order total: ZAR 4,358.37 incl. Import Fee's and Postage.

Also remember a lot of imported items do no carry warranties in other countries.

I use amazon.co.uk and sometimes .com to get all of my Anime DVD's and Blu Rays, no problems yet. UK does charge more for postage since they stopped using SAPO and now send it via air freight. Have not uses .com in a while so not too sure who they are using for postages but I can assume it is the same.
