Interstellar (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) (HDzeta Exclusive) [China]
- Thread starter NewOrder
- Start date
Exactly.
And as this was so hard to get hold of its worth paying a few extra quid now than eBay prices later. As the value of this is only going to go one way..... .
postman had something special today 
the lentis are so good, and after hunting the first release for a while with no succes, I don't regret my purchase at all

OK. Got letter from post.nl yesterday that I must help with customs clearance, to fill the form online. I did it immediatelly yesterday, I described the item precisely, and as a proof of purchase I took a screen cap of the transaction in my bank account.
BUT I did a little "monkey business"
and I captured transaction of two empty BR 2049 slips with total of 40 Euro 
. There was no way how would they find it out, by HDzeta transactions is only clue the name of the shop, so they just see there was a transaction with HDzeta shop by the end of April (which kind of suits to Interstellar package as well ) with total of 40euro. So I was expecting either they will accept this proof of purchase or they will want invoice as well. Luckily the clearance process went through today, BUT to my surprise I will pay customs clearance costs 21,40 Euro .From total of 40 Euro I pay more than half on top??? I actually don´t care much in this case of very rare Interstellar, but I´m worried about the upcoming packages from China in future 
I have some Blufans and HDzeta again on the way, what If this start to become a common thing? Imagine to pay half of some One Click package on top 
I´m really scared now coz friend at work told me today that EU starts to apply some new rules regarding the customs clearance process with packages from China much more these days in order to stop the bulk buyers from Aliexpress or something like that. This would also explains the more often import tax in Germany lately or Ireland as I see it here on forum.
This happened to me for the first time since I start to order from China that I would get a letter from post office. I got hit a few times before but always without a letter. It was mostly the cases of packages marked as gift.
So all in all, this Interstellar is my most expensive steelbook/premium edition/whatever so far - in total 96 Euro
I don´t think something will ever top that

€21 sounds normal for something that costs around €100. The Dutch VAT is 21%. And you have to pay a few % as fine. Or am I wrong?
Guess they ignored your prices and used google.

Exactly, it seems to be too high, but If they ignore my proof, according to what they calculate it then? I believe there is a value on package the usual 20 or 26 usd Im not sure now....
I only hope this won´t happen with every china package with Blufans or HDzeta, geez don´t want to even think about that
Honestly, they don’t care about the value on the package once it’s flagged.Exactly, it seems to be too high, but If they ignore my proof, according to what they calculate it then? I believe there is a value on package the usual 20 or 26 usd Im not sure now....

I think you will know more once you have the package and the receipt.
Actually it's not high at all. You should be happy you only got 21€ fee to clear customs. And specially that they allowed it to go through without an invoice. I'd be happy.Exactly, it seems to be too high, but If they ignore my proof, according to what they calculate it then? I believe there is a value on package the usual 20 or 26 usd Im not sure now....

And OC are much more stoppable of course. Ask the Chinese to pack them in camo boxes lol
Yeah the thing is, in that online form by the proof part there was a note : Proof of purchase OR invoice. So I chose the proof as I don´t have invoice anyway since it´s through the GB. I could choose either the proof in my bank account or PayPal as a true proof with value of 75 Euro, who knows how much I would pay in that case...anyway lucky that it went so smooth, I was little bit nervous about that I must say
Got this today (not from the HDN GB).
Really like the back lenti.
Really like the back lenti.
Mine rolled up yesterday and damn what a fine beauty of art it is 
From front to back and inside to out. I think the stand out has to be the back lenti, wow the depth, the clarity and contrast are all A1 with little bit of movement not to bad. The steel is gorgeous to and oozes with gloss. First order of business now is to get me some more steelbook protectors from Steelbook Central as Interstellar is a very snug fit in my SCF4. I honestly don’t think a sealed copy would fit in there. So Ninjas which one do you recommend for HDzeta Double Lentis is it the SCF8? as that’s the only one that I can find that is marginal fatter than the SCF4.

SCF8 is fine for the newer HDZeta releases.
