Hello Everyone...
I have been asked a few times about costing for the i-MATE unit that was purchased from Compume from the A.U.E in the middle east. Just to recap, Compume was great to deal with and shipped the units from there to Canada including a stop at customs in Montreal in seven days door to door. If you've been following the posts you'll know that myself and my friend ordered a total of two units. The customs and such forms just arrived so is the total low down.
Compume shipped the same day we ordered and it was billed to my credit card after faxing them the front of my visa card and front of my drivers licence for fraud protection (safe for me+ them)
The box weighed 3.5 kg
The cost of each unit was $ 842.12 USD
The shipping cost for TWO units together was $ 176.00 USD
Taxes in Ontario (whether we like it or not) $ 192.56 CDN
Broker Fee per unit $ 13.50 CDN
The i-MATE has a complete and full one year worldwide warrenty (no questions asked) simply get a return voucher number and include it with your dead i-MATE. HTC will pay for shipping return to them plus insurance and send you a new or fixed (but probably new based on the email I received from them) once your item arrives. This will take less then seven days to get to them and the stated new device from the AUE to Canada 10-14 days (again at their expence I might add).
So there you have the details and the costing. Shipping would have been less of course with only one item but I can't say how much. The box was very large (about 3/4 size) of an orange box. Items were packed in styro and the i-MATE boxes inside that. Arne is selling the same units at PPCW.net and these are in fact the only English ROM units with full warrenties on the market and HTC looks like it is going to be great to deal with from my emails from them and so forth. I think both my friend and I would highly recommend both Compume (or Arne) but more importantly these units. You know have the exact pricing here so I hope that answers everyones questions about costing.
If you have any other cost questions certainly email me if you would like further clarification.
Best James
