Hi There,

I'm looking at purchasing a new Blackgold BGT3600 from the UK. Unfortunately the shipping cost is high (nearly 40 pounds) so I was wondering if any others are interested in a group shipment.

Hardware receiver support – world standard analogue terrestrial (PAL, NTSC, CECAM), dual digital terrestrial including both DVB-T and DVB-T2, dual digital satellite DVB-S and DVB-S2, digital cable DVB-C.

It has dual dvb-s2 and cable support and 32 and 64bit drivers.

The price would be around $295 for 2 items (I'm buying one), $280 for 3, $275 for 4.

Considering a Hauppauge HVR-4400 is $180 or dual DVB-s runs around $200 I think this is a decent price

Just reply if you're interested.

Thanks

If you look at

You'll see that once youy get over about $400 NZD you have to pay GST on the shipment too (incl the freight charges)

Import duty is payable on everything, and is usually just GST. But if the invoice is less than $50 then the paperwork is too expensive and Customs will not invoice you. So that means items under $333 do not get invoiced for import duty.

You also only get invoiced if Customs pick up your parcel. I've had car parts from AU to my home worth $800 delivered but it was not in OEM boxes so looked like a gift - no import duty. When I did the same for parts delivered to work however I did get invoiced (work addresses appear to get checked more than residential).

...and if the invoice is in US$ but does not specifically say so then it is considered to be NZ$ (i.e. you pay less).
