Now does this mean my card is spinning in USA for some reason while i live in Finland..... if this is really the card shipment what can i do about it?


The cards were sent by FED Ex not USPS. This looks like a spam email trying to scam you with nothing to do with this offer.

yes that might be. i just did some searching and it really might be try to get me open attachments and get trojan on my pc. i didnt click attachments if i recall but running virus programs regardless. perfect timing tho considering cards have started landing to people and even one confirmed in finland which made me think that might had been legit mail.

I had one in my spam folder from Steadfast delivery company while I was waiting for my card, whoever the hell they are, same thing, would charge me 30 euro a day for holding my card etc.

I just got called by FEDEX in regards to that videocard and it seems that all the customs taxes and all the hash hash is payed by the sender. To be frank that was really surprising since i was expected to pay a lot of taxes for the cards but overall i`m a happy that all this panned out very well. CCP then time when you do these sort of promotions please get in touch with Nvidia and tell them to send the mails after the cards are being shipped. Cos all the GMs stated that Nvidia will get in touch but i never seen a mail from them

Not bad mate,

i just recieved yet another mail informing me i have to make a bank transfer to customs for 30 Euro (20% of the card's value) and i'm on my way to pay it. Quick 2 mins search on google says a lot of bad PR for my local Fedex licensee and i will probably regret paying, but **** it.

Megy i know how you feel....
I jost got notified buy my local FedEx in Serbia that GPU has arrived, that i need to pay import tax and what not to which i agreed, BUT(here comes the funny part) i can't do it myself!!!
I need to get another shipping company to fill import papers and other stuff for me....to do so i would need to pay 70-80EUR more....

Aww +1 for Romania, at least 1 of the countries from the eastern europe Bermuda Triagle got rid of the customs scammers :)


EDIT: Greedr, i sent a complaint in fedex.com site and may be you should do the same, since sender's money doesn't count in our backwater countries,at least they should give the sender's money back.

Anyone in Iceland who got their card yet? I'm being charged about $65 in VAT to claim the card... Unless I can prove it's a gift

edit: called the delivery service back to have them double check. and they saw sender would be paying VAT. so all clear here :)

Interesting that the sender indeed is paying VAT, but not in all countries (even within the EU) FedEx has option to reclaim the VAT from the sender.
