Losthawk19 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 So looking at buying the WiFi pineapple nano, but live in UK and see 3 shipping options available (passport priority $13 dutys may apply, dhl/FedEx $49 dutys unpaid, and passport priority plus $49 duties paid) Which of these options have people picked and what fees have you got when the items landed in the UK?

Jtyle6 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 There's some authorized resellers https://shop.hak5.org/pages/authorized-resellers And there is one in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cribbit Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 the Fees you have to pay are Import tax and VAT (plus handling charges for the delivery company, if they do the taxes). https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK "authorised" reseller charges £139.99 GBP ($170 USD) for a Nano (list price £82 GBP ($100 USD)). That's a markup of 70% (assuming they don't get an "authorised" reseller discount and the markup is even higher). Then there is £7.99 delivery and both then get taxed at 20%. Buying a Nano within the UK from the "authorised" reseller will cost a customer £177 GBP or $215 USD. It's probably cheaper to buy one direct from Hak5 and get it shipped half way around the world than to order if from Sheffield. Also their pricing is not consistent. Oddly there is only a 38% markup on a Tetra. I suppose they are assuming that people are more likely to purchase the "cheaper" device and so are heavily loading the price of the Nano.

Only slightly over-priced when you take tax and delivery costs into consideration but, unlike with the "authorised" UK reseller, you are not being heavily ripped off...
