    So you paid about 30% extra but I think that the moniter must have taken up the largest percentage because of weight/size and the PSU isnt duty free so someone looking to purchase the other items combined: motherboard, processor, h/s and fan, ram...should pay around <20%ISH of retail price.

    Now I'm getting discouraged. My computer is due an upgrade but I'm not sure I can afford a 30% duty.

    I signed up for quickmail yesterday. I asked the lady about bringing in ps3 games. I told her the game cost $60USD and it weighs under a pound, how much would it cost to clear it. she told me $3300ja. so $60usd is about $5400ja plus the $3300 thats a total of $8700 and quickmail dont charge their percentage as yet. watts new has the games for $8700 aswell. so either way i am screwed. She also told me once the item cost more than $25USD it attracts another cost so thats y the ps3 game was so expensive to clear.

    I bought a digital camera from amazon and sent it to mailpac. THe camera cost $258USD that includes shipping. when it came to jamaica i had to pay a little over $9000 to clear it. click the image, then click fullsize to see it at the actual size

    The was reintroduced sometime this year.

    @ Electro - Does that 4k include shipping to jamaica? Even if it doesn't, it seems like you guys paid way too much (>20%) to clear it.
