I just tried to make an order in minerwarez.com and was absolutely shocked how much they want for shipping to my country.

My order is:
AvalonMiner 741 x 4 = $3192
AvalonMiner Controller x 1 = $100
-----------------------------------------
Subtotal: $3292

The shipping methods to Bulgaria(in the EU) are:
- FedEx International Economy
6 business days                                   $1,816.08
- FedEx International Priority
4 business days                                   $2,140.56

So the total sum is $5108 or $5432,56

I just can't beleive it. The VAT in my country is 20%.
20% of $3292 = $658
Customs tax is %0 or something about %1-3

Even if the VAT and the customs tax are included in the shipping, $2000 for products that cost $3000 is complete robbery.
I just can't accept this. There is no fu@@ing way!!!

This is my second HUGE disappointment when trying to buy AvalonMiner. The first one was from Canaan itself for the 45 days of waiting for nothing..
It seems I will finally change my mind and buy some Bitmain products.


EDIT:
Updated my shopping cart removing the miners. Only for the controller, that cost $100, the shipping is $646,27 or $687,10

Recently bought four PSUs from China, each one for about $120 and the shipping with DHL was about $20 each.

I can only say WTF!!!!!!!
