In the US they're going to charge you what ever your state and local taxes would be, and that varies from state to state, county to county and city to city.
Yes, I live in NJ where we have 7% sales tax and I was charged 35 on the 32GB version.

What about the Euro Zone? How much is the shipment, and additional cost to €400? Can it be shipped to another EU country?

Google don't a local store in south florida,so i don't why they charging taxes here..
This why i like Amazon
What they charged me for tax wasn't the state or local rate. It was in between the two rates.

The shipping cost in Europe is €9,90, but prices here always include tax, it is required by law.

Can I order it it Germany and send it to another Europe country and will the cost be 9,90 euro?
Of course not. First of all, the country is determined by IP, and when you fake that via proxy, you still can't enter an adress from another country.
You need a relay you can trust, but that adds international shipping on top if the above price.

I hear you, it just doesn't seem to make sense. If I buy the product it's good for the Google/Samsung, good for say Germany because I'm paying the taxes, good for the EU because customs are probably included, and good for whoever ships it because I'm paying the international (but European Uninon) shipping cost. No harm is done because I could just buy here paying the same EU customs plus local shipping costs and taxes which makes no difference to Google/Samsung, only Play Store here doesn't have it. That's either minus one unit, or I'll have to find someone in Germany to buy and ship.
Ask Google the Whys and Why Nots, not me.

I'll trade you for my 13% tax. :laugh:
Yeah my tax was $45.88 I'm in Washington State. I wished this device was released around the time when the Infinity came out. Then I wouldn't have had to pay sales tax, since I would still be living in Oregon! Lucky [email protected]***s! Lol.

I can throw in 19% tax, resulting in €64.71 ($83.30).

Hi All!
I woke up this morning to the pleasant surprise of an Amazon price drop on the Note 8 (wifi-only) to $379.99. This is the best price I am aware of here in the US currently. I just picked up one myself (finally!).
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-16GB-White/dp/B00BQH8UEY/
I have a hunch that this price drop will only be temporary and that Amazon will bump it back up after not too long (a few days maybe?). Staples is running a $20 off coupon for this weekend and so I wonder if Amazon is trying to compete with that? Regardless, this is a good price.
Enjoy!

I guess it depends on what state you live in. In Virginia there's currently no taxes for Amazon purchases, and it is also Free Shipping for orders > $25. I think there may be a few states where you do have to pay taxes for Amazon purchases, but I don't know which ones.

That is too bad man! If those other sellers you mentioned don't charge sales tax it might be because they don't have any kind of physical presence in NY, but perhaps Amazon does? But regardless, it really does suck how taxes can eat up potential savings!

Im not sure when this thread belongs, so I will just throw it in the G2 help forum.
Im will be flying to Manhattan and looking to buy the device once I get there. I want to step into a store and buy the device, however the prices are much higher tha Amazon. For example, I saw a 90$ price difference between Amazon and Best Buy.
Can anyone tip me on where can I buy the device in Manhattan, but in Amazon prices?
Thanks a lot in advance
I bought mine on eBay for 300, it would likely be more expensive in stores. And knowing NY you have to consider the sales tax...Anyway you can find it at T-Mobile, AT& T, Best buy, Verizon, etc.

Manhattan isn't exactly a cheap place either, 3rd party stores here usually charge MSRP, not the prices you find online.

Another related question:
If I buy via Amazon and have it sent to New York, will I get charged MSRP somehow? Will it have to be paid to the courier?
If not, then why would anybody buy in stores when everything can be bought via Amazon who are cheaper and have great customer service?

Peoples want it instantly and don't want to wait for shipping, rush shipping typically boosts the price to similar levels, also returning an online item is more of a hassle.
As far as I know Amazon usually charges taxes for all or most items in New York. Before it was dependant on where the seller was shipping from but Amazon is large enough that it would bring governmental and legal oversight if they didn't charge tax.
I'd honestly just purchase it from an official Att and Verizon store just to avoid any future trouble or warranty issues. A lot of the g2's on Amazon are the unlocked international version.

If you buy from Amazon you'll get the Amazon price, but NY has sales tax, so that will increase the price (And any shipping costs if you don't use Prime).

If you still rather buy at a store, some retailers allow you to pricematch to amazons cost. Only some. But going amazon route is indubitably the simplest.

I would really rather just buy from a store, because waiting for a package to arrive to the hotel will be make me worry all the time that it will actually arrive on time before my trip ends, etc.
Do you know of some store in Manhattan where I can try this approach?
I am aware of all of the taxes and impediments that the EU puts on this kind of things, but this huge price difference came totally unexpected to me. The cheapest Nexus 6P will cost 730 US$ in Europe? That is pretty disappointing. Besides, at this moment the Nexus 6 costs 499$ on the US store, and 459€ on my local one. Why did they got the dollar to euro conversion right on the 6 and so terribly wrong on 6P?
Anyone has any idea to circumvent this blatant stickup? Is it possible to buy it from a foreign Google Store? Maybe it will be on sale on Amazon or whatsoever?

We don't have VAT in U.S.
Becaue you have been baddly rob---bbb---bbed by your goverment.
Okay but now seriously are there any helpful americans out there which would order them for us/me and we pay it.
Then you would send it as a gift and belive then we dont need to pay taxes or those stupid GEMA fees. atleast in Germany.

Im currently investing into this afaik you wouldnt pay any taxes only me when i get it but they dont check all packages only some of them and then i would pay 17,5% in worst case. this is still less than the normal taxes with 19%.
But i read that the 6p usa version doesn't have the Lt band number 20 which is kinda important here in Germany need to look a little further into this.
How much taxes do oyu guys pay in America?
Taxes vary by state. I think most are around 6-8% these days. Couple of states don't have a sales tax.
you could also consider canada. but we have higher taxes (13% in my province), mine(64gb graphite) cost 846$ with taxe (571 euro).
I Have a pre-order on the 64gb graphite, but i'm considering buying a Sony Xpera Z5... so I don't know if I will sell my 6p
I would also be willing to help out fellow XDAers. I would want to do it through some kind of official channel however so i don't get scammed. I would be willing to post on e-bay for example with no mark up and let you buy it ( you would have to cover my e-bay costs however - so i don't know how it would all work out).
Freedom. That's why.
No taxes here in NH, so I paid $499 total for my 32GB. What's involved in shipping it internationally on our part? I'd hate to have to lie on forms and then get caught and charged some sort of fee.
I really dont know what the shipping fees are I dont even know which companys are shipping in the us.
And the Idea with ebay is kinda good i think then both sides would have some sort of security.
Just having a look on the Oneplus sites for USA and Europe and the pricing has me scratching my head.
For the exact same product (e.g. 8GB - 128gb) EU Customers are paying €70 more when currency conversions are done.
Am I reading too much into this, does economic growth come into this?, I can't see that as being the cause, or are EU People paying too much for the very same phone, or is there another reason?
I dont know, but do USA prices already include taxes? I think i read somewhere that it didnt, because taxes work different on the USA depending on the state you live?

But you are required by state law to pay those taxes when you do your tax calculations at the end of the year. This is not always enforced, unless you are making a large amount of un-taxed purchases which then opens yourself to audit if not paid.

US prices almost never show the tax. That's because tax is dependent on where you live or where you purchase the product. Shipping items to my house gets taxed at 4.5% but if I were to walk three minutes to a neighbor they are taxed at 7%. If I go to a Best Buy that is a two minute car drive away it gets jacked to 7.8%. Each city or county adds their own taxes so having to display that on a web page would be complicated. We don't have a VAT.
