I am thinking of ordering the pok3r I heard it comes from US warehouse.The final price is 142 for a white with clears. How much will I or do I have to pay when it arrives on customs? How much did you pay for something
-
Isn't that dependent on the country's import taxes?
-
What is "MD" in this context? Massdrop?
They have tended to declare the value of items the same regardless of what the package contains. I think it was $50.
It would be lower than the cost of a pok3r, but not fun if you ordered something that was less in price.
In my country, packages tend to go through customs without toll and tax if declared less than $50, so it was doubly aggravating.

Wierd,
I have yet to pay toll and tax of any of my stuff from massdrop.

Depends on the product.
For switches, I have paid about 19GBP on boxes from Massdrop, and mechanicalkeyboards.com. Keyboards, I have paid up to 40GBP I think.
It should depend on the value of the package, and your country's import tax rates.

I find it also depends on who is in MD shipping department and what shift. MD gets a lot of hate but their core are actually really nice people with great customer service. The issue is their shippers mark some stuff with god awful descriptions. My Poker was mistaken for car parts because the genius shipper labelled it "MX clear white rgb" which anyone not into mkb would not know. How the customs dude saw that as car parts is also weird as heck.
Its mostly just a crapshoot.
