  1. Yea i did that if you decided to read further down the page lol. It didnt change the tax what so ever. I did get a shipping fee which i was expecting as usual. But nothing else changed. I understand why things happen like this but its not really a good thing for overseas consumers want to read. basically "you can order yours, there is shipping fees as usual but the tax import fees "which we dont no what that is" you will not get to no until after you have puchased your order and if you dont pay them fees you dont get your order lol" Would of been nice to hear something like your taxes you will caclucated at so and so rate and you will get expected to pay roughly x amount after your order. But hey we all dont get what we want. And in this case ive decided to looks closer to home for my new mousemat.
  2. So basically i put up a clickbait title. Dam lol im so sorry. It was not intended that way ROFL.
  3. Good question, Well to be brutally honest since alot of people use the LTT Stores on these forums i was HOPING someone would clarify if i was missing something or reading it wrong. Since my experience from other websites in the NA ive had a totally different experience without any issues whats so ever. I guess this website does it slightly different. But Anyway thanks for some less than perfect advice but it was good advice nonetheless. I will pondor my buying descision over a CUP OF COFFEE HEHE
  4. But thats not the charge, the wording tells me it can be anything after i place my order. 6 dollars can turn into 60 dollars at the border LOL. See where i am coming from?
  5. Well after ive enter all my personal details and charged me an extra 20 dollars on top for shipping ( which is fine) they still not given me a price on the tax to pay after. Safe to say i will not be held hostage at customs ROFL.
  6. Well thanks guys. Its not so much about the money. Its I want to see how much i will pay before i pay LOL. Thats not so much to ask for is it. Ive ordered a few things from NA and Canada before but shipping and taxes was given to me before i played my order lol. But here ???
  7. I dont no about you people but when i buy something i like to know how much i will be paying BEFORE i pay for a order and order that item or items. So basically ive seen a certain mousemat from the LTTStore i would like to buy. It goes with my colour scheme on my PC Setup. The thing is im from the UK not Canada. So i was expecting shipping and taxes which is ok im fine with that. But the thing which is throwing me is well just look at the photo i uploaded. Ive not got a clue how much i will be paying BEFORE i order in taxes and so once ive ordered the mousemat i will have to pay whatever money after to actually get my shipment, it could be anything? Scummy tactic i dare say. I will be held basically like a hostage to my item. Maybe i am reading it wrong or i am reading it right?. Qoute (After you place your order).
  8. I hope so lol. Rumour mill on the 5000 series is late this year (doubt it ). Early or mid next year (Most likely).
  9. Well i was looking at the 4090 or 4080 when they came out. I was put off at the time with the 4090 melting connectors flare up, so i decided against the 4090 then looked at the 4080 and hated the lack of vram for 4k since i have 3 monitors. So i decided to screw it and wait then came out the super series and i was not impressed with that at all. So hear i am waiting. No matter what comes out next year i will have to upgrade. Atm i got plenty of old games to keep me going.
  10. My 1080ti is showing its age. But i upgraded from a 4770k to a 12700k (massive upgrade) a few years back. Im waiting for the 5000 series and will be looking at between a 5080 to 5090 then upgrade my monitor from 1440p 144hz G-sYnc TN to 4k. The only problem is either a IPS or OLED both techs have there advantages and disdvantages i cant make my mind up and its annoying. TBH when it comes to CPU bottlenecks the 5000 series is going to bottleneck ANY cpu to date. How much depends on the CPU you have.
  11. Ive seen it all now a watercooled laptop. Have to give you 10 out of 10 for orginality. First time ive seen this. However saying that i would give you 3 out of 10 when you could of just got a laptop standard fan cooler which goes under the laptop to keep things cool enough. Of course your laptop looks like something out of a terminator film which has its appeal. I guess this is your pet project away from gaming sessions lol.
  12. I have a 1080ti and play at 1440p on a Gysnc Monitor. I have three matter of fact but use 1 for gaming only. Anyway went abit off topic there. The reason why i didnt buy the 3000 series was due to the shortage at the time plus the gap in preformance between my 1080ti and the 3080 or 3080ti. I didnt warrant it enough at the time for me. So i waited for the 4000 series which when came,the 4090 was the only card worth getting becuase we all no what has happened to the 4080 cards etc etc and the 4070ti basically being a 4060 super in sleep clothing. I didnt want to spend 2000 pounds (live in the uk) on a card. Plus at the time with the power cable burnsouts with the 4090 i didnt want to take a chance. But since that is all over now. I am waiting for the 5000 series even if i brought the 5080 or 5080ti should techinically be faster than the 4090 at launch. The way i see it if i am throw down alot of money on a GPU might as well get my moneys worth in terms of preformance from my 1080ti to the 5000 card. So saying that if you can wait and have some patience WAIT 2 or 3 more years for the 5000 series to come about. Trust me you might not thank me now but you will 2 years from now.
  13. Its like any hobbie. Take cars for instance Over here in the UK there is plenty of fords about. However from time to time you will see the odd Sports Car. Ferrari etc etc depending on where you live. Now unless you like breaking the speed limit and breaking the law. Apart from showing off your wealth that aint much use for a sports car compared to normal car in terms of getting from one place to another. You are limited to the speed limit. So someone having a ford will still get to the same place as the ferrari but the ferrari will get there just slightly faster due too there acceleration sometimes. Like i said ALL cars are limited to the speed limit, unless you like breaking the law. However saying that bragging rights and the increase of acceleration makes for a much better ride in the ferrari. Now take this in terms of GPU'S. You have 2x 2080ti "Ferrari" and 1x 2060 "Ford" both are restricted in terms of performance due to a number of different factors like. CPU, Resolution, Temps, memory etc etc. Both do the job a hand. They play a game however the x2 2080ti play the game faster and at higher resolutions faster than the 2060. The 2080ti's do the same job as the 2060 but do it alot better. People will want to show this off no matter how much it costs. Both cards do the same job however but one does it better. For some blokes they cant help themselfs but to show this off, IE Brag about it. Its a male thing. Look how big my own %^&^& is compared to yours lol. Get my drift.
