VAT?
- cs02rm0 2mo ago
  I think the $34/GB figure might be inclusive of VAT and the $4560 not, which would be $28.5 otherwise. Not sure.

    Oops sorry its just typo. Its 5460 not 4560.

  AFAIK UK VAT is 20% and it's 27% higher price. Its just what you get for living in UK I guess.

That US price is before sales tax no?
- cute_boi 2mo ago
  Correct. It is better to go to delaware and purchase it.

    Or just use Privacy.com and use an address in Delaware. Then you can buy it where ever.

      How does this even work? You need to get the item delivered, and sales tax will incur in the state where it is delivered.

        In the context of buying from UK, use Delaware (or any no-sales-tax state’s) mail forwarding company.

        In that case you'll just pay import tax and its gonna be almost the same price, but 1 month later.

    Delaware? For people in California, Oregon is way closer.

      Agree. There are 5 states called NOMAD state where there is 0% sales tax. New Hampshire, Oregon, Montana, Alaska, Delaware.
