I’ve never had “surprise” taxes from Amazon: when you get to the penultimate stage, just before you pay, you should see both shipping charges and an import fee deposit included in your bill. You can judge if it’s an acceptable number or not. Maybe other people have had other taxes added later on, after arrival in Taiwan, but it hasn’t happened to me.
No idea about warranties. I tend to assume that, no matter what paperwork from the North American end says, it won’t apply here anyway - or at least it won’t apply without me putting in both more time and more Chinese than I have available.
I see. Were they sent via USPS? I know using USPS you dont get surprise charges. I always make sure that the US import I do is via USPS. If they are not, I will have it shipped to my aunt in Hongkong.
I know warranties are international. But I guess it is always more convenient if you can get it locally.
So I got an email from UPS regarding I guess clearance and I think this is the brokerage fee people are talking about (which I was alluding to as extorting fee).
Anyone have deal with this? With my not so good chinese skills… can someone help me?
Venu/Vivoactive4 is almost the counterpart of Apple Watch. I would say, if you have an Apple phone, get Apple watch. Venu has the fancy AMOLED while Vivoactive does not have. And therefore VivoActive is cheaper.
I heard Garmin is great with tracking and more accurate. If you are going to be numbers geek, then I supposed get Venu or VivoActive. It’s probably a lot more health/fitness-focused. I have not read much about Apple Watch but since I have android phone, I go with VivoActive. If you want to do a whole lot more than tracking, Apple Watch has smart functionalities.
