I know this type of device is not exactly popular or sort after, but I want one of these as play emulators on my nexus 7 is not the best experience without real controls, and the few games that can be streamed I have, so I could use this with my setup.
Has anyone here managed to import a Nvidia Shield without getting stung with GST and duty fees?
I have worked out will which add to the cost around $100. Basically the shipping added into the total cost at around $20-30 is enough to tip it over the $400 limit.
If there is a way to pay $299.99 US, and pay less than $20 at YouShop, which I don't think is possible, or so then it to close for comfort. eBay seem to be a waste of time, most Nvidia Shields are almost $400 Nzd, even worse is pb tech have a few but once shipping is added on it close to $700 which is just stupid and a waste at that.

If you're not worried about lying then use YouShop they ask you for the value of the package so just put 269.99 and you'll most likely get through customs without being stung regardless of shipping costs.
Works for me though don't push your luck!
