Okay i am trying to order a GTX 970 from B&H Photo and Video, (i live in Australia)

 

I come to the checkout ready to pay $382.74, and when i click pay with Paypal, it says $356.74

I was going to say the B&H website is saying $382 AUS and converted to $356 USD but our dollar isn't that strong.

Also. why are you buying a GTX 970 from the USA? You could run into warranty issues later down the line.

Well you paid for "something". You will receive "something". You asked for a GTX 970. If you don't receive it, they fucked up.

The exchange rate is pretty bad right now, if it was $356 USD it would be more like $427 AUD.

Wouldn't there is be duty and tax when entering AUS?

 

No. Not for a purchase that small.

 

Am looking around, at most it's $20 (AUD) cheaper to buy it in the USA, and postage is minimum $30, going up to $75 if you want it to arrive any time soon.

 

So you are better off getting it in Australia.,
