Isn't shipping to Mexico something insane? My friend in Argentina ordered a 600$ prebuilt gaming pc, she has to pay 1100$ usd total because shipping
Yeah, one time Chary (the reporter, not tagging her because she has nothing to do with this) convinced me into buying Lion bars
Guess how much the shipping was
Or rather, would've been

Well the Drump reinstated the import tax. The import tax goes by weight, type of item, ease of production and other complicated factors. Usually it equals 10%, 20%, 25% and/or even a whopping 40ish % of what the item's MSRP or RRP or RSP, which ever is higher. Not sure if this applies to both the manufacturers and Reseller

the import tax has always been the same, you get charged import fees for all electronics above $50 Dollars if i remember correctly, I imported a PS3 5 years ago and I had to pay about the equivalent of $60 U.S. Dollars, and also the import taxes for importing things to Mexico goes for the Mexican Government so I don't know what he have to do with this.

Hopefully here in France the prices are droppin'n'droppin. Now we have €293.95 on RueDuCommerce, which is $309.77 :P
Hmmm... Do somebody know about prices as low in Germany?
(hmmm... the shipping from France should not be so expensive)

at least it's not over 9000
Well, unfortunately.... it keeps going up... now it is off the scale!!!

This one WEIRD trick will let you get a neon Switch without having to search or buy from scalpers.
Buy a regular grey Switch and just buy the neon joycon separate.

    Are you near sea/salt water, or in general they just don't last. Sounds like if you driving a mercedes, you need a garage. I get snow n ice here so nothing worse than clearing that shit off at 6am rushing to get to work.
