no delivery of mp4 player to germany

[dumm-user]

i placed an order -see below- two month ago but did not receive the mp4player.
uxcell is telling me its due to customs reasons in Germany.
i asked the local authority but it is not true.
i have to pay about a third more for products over 22 euro local tax but that is all.

now i have a bunch of accessories but no players.

maybe uxcell dont want to deliver because the price for a player is only 40euro -was just the case on te day i ordered. maybe their computer made an unwanted extra special offer... good knows...i want the players and by now i am very pissed about all that. best regards

You got all that for 40 euro???

[dumm-user]

ha ha-maybe in burundi...

of course, not the prices per item are the last figure at each row...
price for the 1 player at that day about 41euro

oh , didnt see that

German and Austrian customs are known for picking out Nano look-a-likes, and destroying them because they are considered as counterfeit goods,thus illegal. This really happens, and Uxcell looses money because they have to refund the buyer. Could be the reason Uxcell stopped shipping Nano look-a-likes there?

[dumm-user]

but what is about the Glacier - MP4 Player ? It is also part of the order.

[lattesurf]

dumm-user , i've heard of European customs confiscating counterfeit goods, be it at the airport or incoming mail.

So perhaps your player did get confiscated. The customs officer might have pocketed your Glacier in the process.

[dumm-user]

no,no I WROTE uxcell did not want to send the players.

QUE, is maybe right ..but what is about the glacier is it a counterfeit product?if not there must be an other answer.

HOWEVER; were do i get the players within europe so it will fit to the accessories uxcell already send to me.
maybe I throw the nokia battery in the bin, so what cant i buy that fits to the charger and fm transmitter?

There are a lot of glaciers on ebay for sale, looks like no one refuses to ship to Germany, you might want to try one of them. I don't think the Glacier is a copy of anything, looks like Uxcell restricted some countries because they had trouble getting goods delivered. They might want to drop Italy too, a lot gets "lost" there, what arrives takes months, so customers are going crazy waiting.
Here in Holland, I never payed taxes on stuff from Hong Kong or China, mp3 players or laptop batteries. Maybe you know someone abroad that can receive the player for you, and send it to you?

You can get the Glaciers from ebay.de. Some sellers ship directly from Germany. I got one from china and had to pay around 35 % import tax:
12,50 (player) + 10 (shipping) + 8 (import tax) = 30,50 EUR for an 1 GB version.
