Got mine too this morning, in the Netherlands. Great piece of equipment, very small!!
The only bad thing was the customs bill. EUR52 (!) changed hands this morning ![]() But it's worth it :-)

I am getting ready to ship a bunch of personal stuff for my move to Belgium, and this VAT tax is ridiculous. It's not like I am reselling anything.

You should not be charged VAT or customs duty for personal effects when moving from one country to another. Your shipping agent should sort this out.

Obviously HMRC are too efficient or at least the Post Office are on their behalf. Here in France La Poste charged me €0.

Has anyone from Canada received a HD300 yet? I was just wondering what your final cost was after shipping, taxes and other fees.

Before returning to the States I sold the motorcycle and did not have to pay VAT or duties on that either. The caveat was that I had to show I owned it for at least 6 months before moving to The Netherlands (I did) and that I had it in The Netherlands for at least a year (I did.) The upshot of this was that I sold a 8 year old motorcycle in Europe for more than I paid for it new in the US and the person I sold it to thought he got a great bargain. Pray that our wonderful politicians do not impose a VAT or rediculous import duties on us here in the US.

If anyone ordered an HD300 just before it was launced amd hasnt received it yet, I suggest you ask SageTV if theyve posted it yet and get the tracking number if they have.
Ive just done this myself and found it was posted on 17th September and arrived in the UK on the 23rd. Since then its been sitting waiting for me to pay the VAT and handling fee (£23). If I hadnt asked SageTV for the tracking number I would still be waiting as I have had no indication from Parcel Force that they were wating for me to pay them. Deliver now scheduled for tomorrow ![]()

They would have to replace the US power adapter before it could be sold in the UK.

The price of shipping within the US is even high if you ask me. These boxes aren't big and not heavy. I just assume sage doesn't get a great rate from UPS because they aren't constantly shipping. I considered overnighting a single HD300 after I ordered the other six ground but it was something like $60 and I thought that was too much...

Just received my HD300 in Canada - unfortunately a $31 customs fee - oh well.

Received my HD300 today in Ottawa (CAN).
![]() Shipped on: October 19 Received on: October 28 Value for duty = $162.05 CAD HST charged = $8.10 CPC handling fee = $5.00 Total COD payable = $13.10 On top of the $24 shipping this still seems reasonable and worked out cheaper than driving across the border to pick it up.
