$25 for $32
$50 for $60

So I can give you $100 for $115 worth, or I can give you 4 lots of $25 for $128 worth.
Hmm, that's a toughie....
You have it backwards. It costs $115 for $100 worth, etc. You get a discount for buying larger amounts.

You still don't understand. Which is odd because no one else has had this problem. You can buy one $25 certificate for $32. You can buy one $100 certificate for $115. A savings off the four at $25 each price of $8.
I don't know what else there is to say about it.

i wasnt the first person to bring this up.
but your explanation makes no sense... why would anyone pay MORE for a certificate than its worth? why pay $32 for something only worth $25???
seems strange imo
I'm interested...has anyone else bought one yet?
Good question. The reason is because when I buy the certificates I take a hit from my bank for a foreign transaction and also from PayPal. A few dollars are added for my trouble. That's why.
I have never had one customer complaint. I used to sell on Ebay until they pulled my listings. Feel free to visit my blog for more info. daymeansday.blogspot.com

Hey,
I live in Toronto, Canada, I went on the google website to buy the nexus one, and the price it gives me for the phone including shipping is $556 US dollars.
In the shipping policy section it says your respective province/country might charge you the taxes at the time of delivery. My question is will I get charged taxes at the time I pick up my package? I have ordered stuff online from the states before and I have not been charged tax for those items or any extra fees on top of what I payed at the time of purchase (I ordered 60 dollars worth of clothing before).
As a little experiment I changed my shipping address from Canada to my friends address in the states, and the price is identical. Is the 556 US dollars the FINAL price americans/canadians pay for the phone?
Thanks for all your help.
I paid 529.00 in total, so I think you might be getting pinged with the taxes up front?
It should have it broken down in the final checkout screen! But try here they have a contact number also so you can always give them a call to see, best of luck to you...

haha thats messed up, after experimenting with the states address, I no longer get charged for shipping but instead I get charged US dollar tax, lol and it comes out to be 10 dollars more, $566. I dont know how you got away without paying tax or any shipping. Lucky you
Now I dont know whether to risk getting it shipped to Canada for 556 and end up paying tax on it at the time of pick up. Or to ship it to the states and pay 10 dollars more for tax? Darn taxes.
Thanks for the quick reply eh.

Unfortunately we do have to pay the tax. I think I had to pay an additional $80 which sucked.

Oh DAMN, I guess I would save that 80 dollars by shipping it to the states right? I am planning on going to my friends place in 2 weeks.
Now one more confusion, when I select a states address for shipping, I get a choice between fedex ground, 2nd day air, and overnight. What doesnt make sense is that picking fedex 2nd day air charges 5 dollars extra, but picking fedex overnight or fedex ground doesnt charge any extra. Shouldnt fedex overnight charge the most for shipping?
Thanks for your help and your quick reply.
Yes, you will have to pay GST, a broker fee, and in your case PST to the courier before they will hand over the package to you. If you're looking for a way to escape the PST you might try and move to Alberta. We don't have any!

haha lucky Albertans , I hate this damn province (ontario) paying the highest PST from all of Canada, and we still get **** services.
But ya I guess to avoid paying extra fees of shipping AND taxes at the time of pick up, I'll get it shipped to the states and pick it up from my friends place in 2 weeks.
Thanks for your help
Be sure that you do NOT buy the "rogers compatible" one.
Get the one that is tmobile/wind -- it will still work on robbers, just be stuck to 2G, plus in addition, it will be compatible with wind and moblicity/dave.
With robbers data charges (being robbery) it is hard to justify data on their service anyways.
Or just phone up Fido and ask for the $30/month 6GB plan. I actually bargained them down to $20/month for the 6GB.
As for picking it up in the states, you can save money that way as long as you are willing to lie to border patrol and say you didn't buy anything.
I got charged almost 90 dollars by the delivery man for customs charges.....so add that to your total cost.
I live in SW Ontario btw....
Well if he is on Fido he should get the rogers compatible device unless he is planning on making the switch to Wind.
Is the 6GB plan back? was taken away months ago, its why i haven't left rogers, since I know I won't get it back.
And yes grabbing it from your friend is the best option.
Duplicate post. Sorry.
Yeah, the 6GB plan is back. But not advertised. They brought it back to offer people who want to go to Wind. If you are patient enough, or lucky enough to get the right person you can get the deal you want.

Depends on the state. You won't get charged by Google for tax in some states.
Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I guess I will go pick it up from the states
I shipped to Canada and the overall cost of my nexus was $650.
Did anyone else find it interesting that there is an extra $20 to the price in tax and shipping? Now maybe its just me but I feel if you spend more that $100 for a small item online shipping should be free. And $13 what is that google trying to recoup some of the profit margin. I could ship it myself for under 10 2 day from USPS and they probably get a discount for mass shipping. Dont get me wrong I still ordered it, Im just slightly frustrated with how they worked out the price.
tax is normal .
shipping 13 bucks, thats fine..
Google isnt amazon

They aren't "hidden fees", they are tax and shipping... just as stated. Hidden fees are things like a $30 "upgrade" fee that is not obviously stated but will show up on your Verizon bill when you agree to a new 2 year contract for them. Tax and shipping are fees for the taxes that are obligatory and to cover the cost of packing and shipping the product. The Nexus 7 is being practically sold at cost as-is, so complaining about a small shipping fee is a bit uncalled for.
The fact that Amazon has gotten away with not charging tax for all of these years is mind-boggling, I guarantee has a lot to do with political lobbying and strong-arming. Don't get used to it, as they will soon (rightfully) have to charge tax and submit it to states. Google rightfully collecting and submitting sales tax is a sign that they are a company that tries to do the right thing, that's welcome in this day and age.
Nothing hidden about it...you get full disclosure of it and you don't have to buy if you think it's absurd.
Hidden may not be the best word. But I think they are pocketing some money from the shipping charge. There is no way it cost that much to send, to me its a crafty way to make the MSRP lower.
Mine was 94 cents tax (Kinda weird) and 13 dollars shipping.

They do two-day shipping. I can't quote all of the costs, but I will see that a flat-rate Priority Mail box from USPS costs $16.95 these days. Shipping isn't cheap, unless you are Amazon and can negotiate a deal based on the fact that you will be shipping 10s of thousands of products every day.

exactly. not unreasonable at all. i would gladly pay a little extra on shipping so my device isnt destroyed in transit.
When they are selling a device at pretty much cost price I think $20 on shipping and tax is more than fair enough..its better than the $200 profit apple wack on each ipad.
Stop complaining its a bloody good deal!
I would be fine with the extra shipping and taxes and stuff, but I've never seen Arizona tax anything I've bought anything online, yet because of the tax it took my $250 tablet plus $13.99 shipping and made it $280. That seems a little much for me, though I did buy the device.

That's because states don't collect sales tax, retailers do (are suppose to anyway), but only if they have a nexus (ha!) in the state.
I didn't have to pay sales tax on mine... just shipping and $13 isn't bad.

Canada (Ontario) pricing:
Nexus 7 (16GB) $259.00
Shipping: $19.99
Tax: $33.67
Total: $312.66
Mine was
Nexus 7 (16GB)
$249.00
Shipping (Two Day Shipping):
$13.99
Tax:
$18.41
Total:
$281.40
Shipping price seems fair and taxes are, well, taxes . . .
Some of that cost will be offset by the $25 credit for apps.
Seeing as the amount of money I save in shipping with amazon prime I think I can handle at most $30 in taxes and shipping

Hidden fees lol don't be a salty consumer!
Gamestop
I pre-ordered at game-stop, just because of that.
Same deal, movie, book and 25 bucks, but I'll save a little bit on shipping.
I haven't been quite this excited about a tech product since I bought my skinny Mac in 1984. I was a bit disappointed in the extra fees, but it's hard to be upset about it. It's a way better deal than my puke green Mac was!
Paying $229.50 for the eight gigabyte joint. Texas has taxes.

I understand it comes as import from the US, site is the same as for US buyers and price is quoted in USD.
Anything bad to report with customs, any extras fees or hassles?
Thanks in advance

So when it says free shipping it does not include duty?
Also, extra 13% regular taxes on top?
Ended up for what total for you? (I imagine it will depend on the USD)

807 plus the 120 to DHL for taxes and duty. But it now depends on the dollar. Can't remember the rate at that time. Was only about a month ago
It costs $27 dollars to ship a small flat rate box to Canada from the US.
I paid $485 for my phone.
Are you crazy?

That's why a lot of people have things sent to PO boxes just across the border when ordering laptops or phones overseas in Canada.
Also, a little over $800 is close to the right conversion rate on the camo RM3.

You rent a space at a post office in the US, and any packages that you don't want to pay duties or taxes on, you have them shipped there.
It does become an issue if they catch you doing it, but it's difficult for them to prove.
