Am I doing calculations right, or is expansys charging more in UK than USA. According to calculation, @645 GBP should be $1018 not $881 like shown on us site. |

you would be right expansys take people for a ride and the people just keep buying the tickets!
If those that complain about the prices didn't keep paying them and doing the 'expansys phantom pre-order' thing they would still be cheap like they used to be years ago. |

I spoke to some guy at Expansys about that very same problem, Their pre-order was one price and the actual price is much more.
He said that is because they brought the product for more and had to pass the increase on. I asked him if it had anything to do with that fact that they had much more interest in the P900 than they anticipated and they realized they could sell it for more....He obviously said no, Wankers.
If these companies sold them for less then they would sell many more units.

Sounds about right to me too JJayMobile but the dissapointing fact there is that they are down from their 250+ P900s to about 70-80 so people are still buying them... oh well... |

Maybe @LeeG, has hit on something, maybe Expansys are willing to negotiate, i won't be able to find out because i wont buy from them, when i was buying an Ipaq a while back i got a price of £299 from TotalPDA, & a price of £550 from Expansys so after that i decided they can fuk RIGHT off.
I have just bought a P900 & the price difference to Expansys price is enough for a package holiday.

Import duty from Sweden? I don't think so thanks...
You certainly should not be paying any import duty on goods provided for and within the EU - or have Sweden decided to move out of the EU now!
You may get charged VAT if they haven't already applied it (which is illegal on consumer level products) but that would still only be at the receiving end rate which is 17.5%.
Did you buy this as a trader? |

Expansys is like the name says always been very EXPENSIVE !!
You always will find cheaper somewhere else, and they are not even reliable, there are a lot of problems with them |
