What would the landed price be?

 

[SYNERGY]

Ok Messuga is confirmed.
Regarding the landing price- I'm estimating aroud R1500 thou idol would need to confirm

Thou I can order a unit for myself from an e-store it will come to R2000 shipped.

 

[solmed]

Does the price include duties and Vat?

 

[iDOL]

I normally use newegg price as an indicator - so it being R1899.99 is roughly what I would say for newegg x 10 to take into account exchange rate fluctuations and any vat plus margin distro may add

 

[solmed]

I can import using myus.com

 

[DJNgoma]

For me it's just checking the dimension and weight of items wanted, I usually pay under $40 for shipping with tracking and R50 bucks for customs.

Guys,

Why don't you just buy from TigerDirect? They stock the Zotac boards and will ship internationally.

EDIT: Oops, they have the B-E model without PCI-E slot.

[SYNERGY]

[JohnnyQ]

I had a chat with one of my suppliers, and they are bringing in some. Will give detail later. Boards will land next week(air shipped).

 

[iDOL]

2nd week of August confirmed as definite - allowing for any potential delays at customs should they arrive by next week. But yes JohnnyQ you are correct, but it's down to my incessant nagging for these goodies that the distro has finally relented.

 

[iDOL]

So Jhb guys interested, let me know.

I will definitely place pre-orders then to confirm.

Et will be here - yeah!!


Guys they in the country.

Let me tell you what has happened.

I can get them for the following for all and sundry , but limited numbers :

Zotac Geforce 9300 – ITX WIFI (ZT-GF9300-DE) R 1540.00 inc VAT

Zotac Ion ITC A MB With Atom330 (ZT-IONITX-AE) R 2275.00 inc VAT

Some smart "entrepreneurial" sort has tried to usurp my position at my local distro - in cornering the supply.

Despite the fact, that I had nagged to get them supplied and garnered interest in these goodies, well good luck to you sir.

So if you pay more than above for these boards, you are paying too much.

I can get them for you at these prices.

Let me know if you are interested.
