MrWorldwide Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Amazon factored their 'best guesstimate' into the purchase price of my Springsteen boxed set of CDs, but as someone pointed out recently import duties appear to be a lottery - even more so since the coup. No idea how this will relate to others when purchasing from Amazon, but this is the refund notice I received. The original deposit was 44.77 USD - more than half the value of the box set - no idea how they came up with that figure. There was nothing on the box to indicate what ThaI Customs considered the appropriate duty to be - in this case, roughly 40% of the purchase price - ~28 USD on a 70 USD product - a significant jump on the Amazon CD order I placed earlier in the year. Fortunately, the box set was worth every penny - the remasters are sensational.

Camelot Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I was also happy to receive a refund from Amazon (UK) for duty waived by Thai customs on a camcorder accessory that was unavailable here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
