How come i can order a £3000 worth of Camera kit from Hong Kong and get it within a couple of days with no Customs problems and no tax added on, yet you guys order a £200 tablet from Murica and everyone runs for the hills......... Madness lol

Mines the same, I like to think that it's currently on the plane and we wouldn't get an update until it hits the UK.

Think mine has left the US as well. Oddly my chromecast and nexus were shipped to the same sorting centre.Both have just left there now.

Mines landed in blighty

 

[2StepSteve]

Mine says it has only just been picked up? Weird!

Kinda regretting ordering online as I'm off to Canada for 8 days tomorrow, a total unplanned and last minute thing!!

 

[MrZippo]

Bloody hell Steve if you had known sooner we all could have placed orders with you! lol

Looks like mine is on it's way. I am guessing it should be in the UK by Monday and out for delivery on Tuesday.

At least we know that HMRC won't be raiding us anytime soon for unpaid taxes

About £265.91

Oh well, That's the price you pay for being an early adopter.

 

[Hutchy]

Paid 46£ tax aswell!

£30 on top of UK RRP for early adoption is not toooo bad!
