Amazon Question

[Voltdax]

So I ordered a phone few days ago for about 580$ through amazon but I received this email yesterday. I don't know that well what it says and I'm wondering if anybody could help me out. I'm from The Netherlands and they are asking me if my country would charge me any extra taces and if I would be ok with them. But I don't know how to check that out, does anybody know? Thanks. This is the email

Upon checking, seems it just means that there may or may not be a door fee when your goods come in.

Sometimes its like $15 or whatever, that your required to pay before receiving the goods.

Hmm. Yeah but this phone was 550 + 30$ shipping.. I'm wondering how much would it cost me total for the door fee, I'm from the Netherlands.

give your local post office a visit or a call. Chances are it will be a different cost in different areas so unless someone from your suburb is reading this thread you are better off contacting someone locally for an exact cost.
