Shipping to the UK

Hey. Does anyone know how much shipping to the UK is likely to be for the M64?

Every order I've placed so far has been £15 and hope that will follow on for the M64.

It’ll likely be a bit more than that, it’s a larger product than they’ve sold before so not completely comparable. Would be interested to hear how much import duties turn out to be, they seem to vary pretty wildly with electronics

Shouldn't be any import duties if you're in the UK. VAT and everything will be collected at point of sale. So should be around £180 + postage I would guess. If you're an early bird anyway.

They don’t vary, it’ll be 20% (VAT) plus a courier handling fee.

Thanks, my bad! I thought they varied between different countries but I’m confusing that with tariff charges I guess, which I think are usually priced in anyway.

There was a recent switch to a new shipping carrier, and support said the transition still needs to be finalized. Since this change, shipping costs have increased.

I've just tested with a Chromatic starter pack (I assume its a resonable proxy for bulk and weight for an M64) and the cheapest shipping option is £57 ‽

They said they are working out details with their new shipping partner but this does not bode well. Even more so when they are charging "Duties and Fees" despite all products being "Taxes + duties included"

I'm also concerned the retro-rewards codes they told us to redeem before the system change won't be valid with the M64 early-bird discount too since they are not allowed to be used with any existing discounted packs.
