[NiN^_^NiN]

I just ordered my gp32 for $250 AUD from playasia only because they have a bank account in australia

but after reading alot of people saying about playasia being bad i wanna know if any aussies got a gp32 from play asia and if they got hit with a import tax?

Mine got delivered today from play asia and i didnt have to pay any tax cos i emailed em askin for them to lower the amount on the invoice. I checked today and they wrote down that it cost £20, which means i have to pay 0 tax. I assume you could do the same thing.

I've only ever heard complaints about lik-sang and customs in Australia (including from me ). Just as long as they put 'gift' as the declaration of contents, and/or the amount written on the parcel is lower, it SHOULD be fine. Unless customs have sniffer dogs that can detect the true value of products, or someone in customs has a GP32, you should be fine

Lik-sang are pretty bad on customs. They practically write on the box 'hello customs I'm an expensive import OPEN ME' it cost me about £30 for import tax on my doorstep, I was not pleased.

well i just payed playasia just then but im a bit worried i went down to the bank to pay into there aussie account but they had cost of the unit like $149 usd and the teller had no clue what to do and i was guessing that its an aussie account it must be payed in australian dollars so i got them to convert the USD price to AUD price to be put into there account.

I dont know if i stuffed up or what but the tellers had no idea what 2 do and the price came out cheaper when it was converted cost $241.50 not $250.20 aus

so i think im a bit screwed
