Title: First post first mech KB A customs question.
Post by: Mr_Fraggle on Wed, 12 September 2012, 06:24:22

Hi all, looking to buy my first mechanical keyboard and have settled on these three items.

My question concerns custom duty particularly on the first two items. Can anyone clue me up on the procedure an/or cost as obviously this might make the items prohibitively expensive.

My apologies if this post is in the wrong part of the forums.

Welcome to Geekhack!

Sometimes it is easier to find a supplier in your own country, to avoid customs duties and, more importantly (when waiting for delivery of your first mechanical keyboard), to avoid delivery delays.

You are definitely jumping in with both feet, buying keyboard and two sets of key caps on your first purchase! :)
