WTF $20 customs for a product worth $25 . Don't accept the package send it back and initiate a fight with DHL OR take it if your hands are itchin.

Well, the customs assessable value comes to around 2.5k, and the duty @27% comes to Rs 675 or so and the DHL charges an handling fee of Rs 300 + tax :p
You can't really argue! :(

element14 has started delivering the pi in India. I had ordered one for my brother who got it today but i am yet to get it :mad: :mad: :mad:.

Oh! :p You'll get yours too in a day or two. I shouldn't have canceled my order from element14 :(, would have paid Rs 750 less! :(

Called element14 today. It seems the first batch of Pis have arrived and they are shipping them right now. Unfortunately I will be receiving mine once the second batch arrives by July or August end :(

Hi all,
How to register in element14. it is asking for Sales Tax Registration Number . Is there a way to register individuals. Please let me know. i checked the kitsnspares site, the expected delivery is August first week.
