                       I would like to buy a GMC-600plus, but here in Europe on Amazon.de it costs $ 482.- with the shipping costs.  That is very expensive and I fear that customs fees will be added.  If the United Kingdom leaves the European Union, it may become even more expensive.
  Does anyone know a source in Europe where you can buy the GMC600 plus for a reasonable price without horror additional costs? |

                      |  You can try to buy from our website. You can see the total price before you pay and also includes VAT. |

                      |  Thank you, but I know the price of € 399.- without shipping.  This is far too expensive and maybe the customs will be added.  Directly at GQ Electronics the GMC600plus costs € 292,50.- that's a big difference.  The shipping cost of € 35,10.- is okay.  But I do not know how much the customs costs for Austria? |

                       In general, from outside EU to France it is 20% of the invoice plus 10-20 € of brokerage fees. for australia it should be similar So:    292.5 x 1.2 (goods + VAT) + 35.10 (shipping) + 15 (brokerage)
  = 401.10 I think it should not be far from the real cost when ordering at GQ, and it's equivalent to the price at Amazon. |

  Ohhh noooo, not australia!  Austria, there is no kangaroo here!

                       All Amazon prices include the VAT.  You do not need to pay the VAT upon the receiving. Most of shippings are by DHL express. You can receive it in about 3-5 business days. The standard post office shipping is available upon request from GQ.  But it take about 3-4 weeks delivery for a registered air mail. You may be able to save about 10EUR but I feel it is not worth to save that little.

                      |  Direct order from GQ may have better price. Because Amazon charges about 12-15% commission from overall price. That part eventually paid by buyer, and Amazon never tell you that. |
