Hello Kalle, I can tell you about my experience in Germany, they might be similar or different in Sweden. It is exactly like you stated. Expedited shipping to Germany will cause taxes for you to pay, while the standard shipping does not. For Germany, there’s also a “Germany priority line”, which is marginally slower (about a week), but will not cause any taxes whatsoever. In this priority line, a sub companny in Germany handles all required taxes and fees for you, and you don’t have to pay any extra. I can really recommend it, you can save quite a bit if you have one more week of patience. But as I said, I’m not sure about Sweden.
Hmm, alright iäl choose the slower one then, I can wait.
I would avoid Gearbest for expensive items. They have a poor returns policy.
The problem is that I can’t find the pc anywhere else for the same price. On GB it’s about 450 USD and on Aliexpress its 700 USD. Not really a choice. But just in case Banggood starts to sell them, is it the same as GB regarding shipping?
What ever you do, DO NOT EVER BUY FROM GEARBEST!
If whatever you are buying braks they have set a standard of saying you get a “free repair” if you send it back.
BUT then they ALWAYS reply that your item is NOT REPARABLE, and wants to sell you a “replacement” for muchos dollars!
I did buy a Iwork 12 from them an when it suddenly dies I got the same offer, send it back and (as many other claim) got the not reparable-reply and they demanded a whopping ransom of USD180 to send me the replacement!
And by demanding a ransom to release your own warranty valid item they break all bussiness-rules, and your cheap PC turns out to be not all that cheap! So what ever you do, DO NOT EVER BUY FROM GEARBEST!
All you do it to support their ransom-bussiness!
