I don't see any blue price. Only normal reduced price and then additional charges for shipping and import duties. If you are in Germany, why don't you use Amazon.de? Can you post screenshot of the price you are referring to?

I did. And thats same thing that appears under the price which is under title. Yes, its extra you need to pay besides price of product. Its what Amazon needs to pay for shpping and importing product from US to Germany. Which is why I would say check if Amazon.de is cheaper after all currency conversions and all. It will be faster as it takes 1-2 weeks to ship from US. From Germany even I've got stuff in 3 days.

So, i went to amazon.com and selected ship to Germany, and under the normal price appears another one in blue. Is it EXTRA, or is it included? Thanks :)

The blue is extra

 

you should order from amazon.de , you will pay 20% VAT (i think) plus import fees as well as expensive shipping

Shipping and Import is always added to the cost of the product itself when you're buying overseas. This would be a terrible, terrible purchase.

On other things, like i7 6700k or hyperX cloudII there is no extra... whats up with that?

Maybe because amazon.com is the American site, meaning anything you buy from them goes to customs, put on a ship and then offloaded and onto you with taxes paid at the port of entry. Those other components are probably coming from amazon.co.de, which is a German site and would offer you free delivery and no import charges, that is if you live in Germany.

 

Here's a tip: if you buy Amazon, or any reputable online retailer from any country in the EU there will be no import charges thanks to the free trade zone. I suggest checking out novatech.co.uk, scan.co.uk and overclockers.co.uk. I think they have the 1080 in stock and not at stupid prices.

Shipping a monitor costs alot mainly because of it's weight compared to the i7 and the HyperX Cloud II.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5800X +  GPU: Nvidia RTX 3080 12GB + Motherboard: Asus Crosshair VIII Hero

  Case: Asus ROG Strix Helios Gundam Edition Power Supply: Asus ROG Thor 850P

Tested this with products you mentioned here. 6700K isn't available on Amazon.de so couldn't get it along others. But main thing is price difference. Whopping 100€ for Amazon.de. Plus it will be shorter shipping time.

Thanks! Just saved me lots of money. I allready will be saving from buying cpu and headphones from amazon.com since shipping is free. But... why dont you get warranty from .de? In .com 3 years are offered for 50$

EU law has 2 year warranty for all electronics stuff. Thats usually plenty. Some stores offer extended warraty for 3 or 5 years. Acer has 3 year warranty for hardware. But you will need to ship it back to Amazon in US at your own expense.

 

Lets clarify above. If you buy in EU you will automaticly have 2 years or manufacturers own warranty. Depending on manufacturers RMA process, you either can use local office or you have to ship item back to store where purchased from.
