Forums - General - Delivery costs on imported PS3s?

So, I've finally got around to making a claim on my busted PS3 from my insurance, and once it comes through (I'm 90% sure it will be successful), I will be looking at purchasing another PS3. Now, being the tight bastard that I am, I've been looking to try and get the PS3 as cheap as possible, so I've been looking into importing.

I came across this: http://www.renchi.com/renchi/PS3_Consoles_PS3_Playstation_3_Slim_Console_Satin_Silver_HDD160GB_220V_Hong_Kong_Version.htm

It's about £30 less than you can typically find it online... and it's also in silver, which looks sleek as (as an aside, will we be seeing a sales boost from this badboy?)... figured I'd be willing to pay a £20 premium for the colour... which means that I don't want shipping to go over £50 for the import.

Anybody imported before, specifically from HK to UK? How much does shipping usually come up to?

EDIT: Just realized I posted this in off-topic, need to stop living here. Disregard this thread, I'm reporting it to get it closed. Reposting in Sony.



Around the Network

I just did a little research for you. I found a percentage. It's supposedly 17.5% VAT +  4.5% custom charges 

 

Look at my plus and weep noobs >:D

 

Edit: also that PS3 is sexy! :o

Edit #2: Fine. Neglect my response and have this locked :'(
