Wow! I've just been stung by a £79 ($112) import charge for this drop into the UK! Meaning it would have almost been the same cost for me to buy the Pro version here in the UK. Not a happy easter bunny at all :(

CrisUKWow that does seem very steep. I always thought it would have been 22.5% import duty and tax. Need to think if this drop is really worth it now. Thanks for the heads up.

Yea, it works out to be around 40% import duty and VAT. I have serious issues with the shipping method used. I paid the money yesterday but they still have it in customs and they tell me with won't be here until Friday at the earliest. I think the use of DHL for international shipments needs a rethink.

CrisUKForgive me for asking but did you have to pay your import duty & tax to a company called Customs Clearance Limited (CCL) by any chance and if so was the transaction o.k.? Just been told by DHL I have to do this. Hope the Matrix Mini I DAC/Amp is proving good though

Yes! The most over complex, expensive and slow method of import I've ever used. Massdrop need to stop using DHL into the UK. I won't be using massdrop again purely based on this experience. Also the DAC wasn't as advertised, but no one seems to care about that!

CrisUKHi, thanks for the update. Totally agree with you on the DHL front, not the most encouraging way to be treated especially by such a large company. Still waiting to hear from this Custom Clearance company as to what I have to pay so goodness knows how long this will take as they have had the item apparently since Wednesday. I am really sorry to hear the DAC was not as advertised and I do hope you do have some joy in the issue(s) being resolved. It's not boding well for my confidence in any further purchases I will admit.
