And others should know about the shipping methods that are being used that cause packages to be so expensive!]]> mobiuschic42 2008-09-23T11:47:50-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=1397&th=387#msg_1397 ,

The price of a model depends on the volume and includes shipping. Depending on your country, tax will be added.]]> RalphVdB 2008-09-23T14:29:40-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=1398&th=387#msg_1398 mobiuschic42 2008-09-23T15:19:11-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=1399&th=387#msg_1399 Hmm,

As far as I understand it so far, shipping costs are included in the price of the model. So, you shouldn't be paying extra for shipping.

Have you recieved a model and had to pay extra? If so, there will be duty taxes added. I expect to have to pay extra once the item get's here, only because no tax has been paid on the item yet.

Are you saying that you were charged $128 in duty tax?

Perhaps it was just a mistake, but it's definitely one others should know about. ]]> mobiuschic42 2008-09-23T15:44:40-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=1402&th=387#msg_1402 mobiuschic42 2008-09-23T15:46:06-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=1404&th=387#msg_1404
I heard today UPS tried to charge you with $128 for shipping. It looks like there is a mixup at UPS. The package currently traveling to us (after the 3 failed attempts to deliver).

For $128 I could almost hand-deliver the item to you.

We will ship it back to you as soon as it arrives. And of course shipping is included in the price. Though some countries add import duties.

Cheers!

I think you are in contact with Frank about it? He will fix it for you.

Cheers!
