Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #1 Posted by Doctor Bubu on 28 July 2007, 5:52 a.m. Today it came as a normal parcel. It was shipped from Spain? So there where no custom-taxe for me. My first impression, because i had no time to play arround, is that someone who sayd that the blister is one of the best are completly right. And it feels very good, i am finaly happy. I do not think that it is not havy enough. the weight, even of the older calculators, depends mainly on the batteries. The serial Number is 72 10 20 10 Greetings from Germany Jürgen Edited: 28 July 2007, 7:53 a.m.

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #5 Posted by Doctor Bubu on 29 July 2007, 4:00 a.m., in response to message #4 by Walter B Hallo Walter and Joan! I ordered, as i told, at samson cable. with world wide express 52,99$ + 43$. After a long cnversation via email the last mail from customer service was: Jurgen, I do apologize for the time taken to ship your order. The usual two- to three-day shipment to us of our deliveries from HP manufacturing was delayed, so we were unable to ship as planned. Because your order was from the European Union, it additionally required us shipping the calculators to Europe, from where the shipment is actually made to you. (Using our partner in Spain, shipping from Europe avoids you paying customs taxes, avoids shipping and customs problems, and simplifies delivery for our products because the shipments originate from within the EU.) Our European office received their shipment of 35S calculators on the 23rd, the day we gave them your order. Because our shipments are done through Spanish mail through our partner, we do not have a tracking number. We have forwarded tracking numbers in the past to a few customers, but our experience with European mail is that although the mail service is reliable, the tracking numbers give little information. Regards, Karren It really come from spain, FZInformatica samson europa, Llaudez No.1 Bajo, Alicante so i have not payed any furher tax. But the shipping costs from spain was only 13,20 Euro (around 18 $) so i wonder how i will deal with the different amount i payed, (espacialy because it took 2 weeks not 2 days). Has anyone an Idea? Greetings Jürgen

I ordered my 35s on the 07/15 ( 52.99$ + 43$ S/H). But unfortunately until today I don't get my calculator. If the shipping cost are only 18$ then I will not pay 43$ for S/H. Get you an invoice with the german VAT ? Greeting from Berlin Andreas

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #7 Posted by Rafael Millán on 29 July 2007, 9:31 a.m., in response to message #5 by Doctor Bubu Hello Jürgen, This is similar to the shipping method used by Amazon USA. All shipments to the European Union go to a partner in Germany which then distributes them into the EU. But custom taxes exist anyway, just they are processed/negotiated/payed in bulk by the European partner, instead of by each individual customer. I think that this is very convenient for us, as dealing with customs becomes easily a nightmare, at least in my experience. Also, some couriers can do it on behalf of the customer, but usually at very expensive prices. So the custom taxes would not be included in the shipping cost from Spain, as they would have been paid before. I also received my two units in Madrid from the same company in Alicante, but not thru Spanish mail, but a local courier. By the way, I could sell one of them to someone in the Madrid area. The price is the same I payed for it: 68 euro. Compare with Nomatica.es which is accepting preorders at 95.95 euro. Use the forum mail if interested. Best regards, R.

Message #8 Posted by Eduardo Muńoz on 31 July 2007, 8:43 a.m., in response to message #7 by Rafael Millán Hello Rafael, did you buy those calculators from Samson Cables of from F7informatica directly?. How many days went by betwen payment and reception of the calcularors?. BTW i live in Seville. Email me privately if you want. Greetings,

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #9 Posted by Rafael Millán on 31 July 2007, 6:22 p.m., in response to message #8 by Eduardo Muńoz Hi Eduardo, I bought the 35s from Samson Cables, I had not heard of F7informatica before. I ordered on 15th, they charged my credit card on 16th, and I received the calculators on 26th. I think that this timing has been typical for European buyers. I paid for "world-wide exress 1-2 days", but my price per unit was not very bad because the shipping cost for two units didn't double, it was more like multiplying by 1.35. Regards, R.

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #10 Posted by Ivan Latorre on 1 Aug 2007, 1:49 p.m., in response to message #9 by Rafael Millán Joan, Rafael and Eduardo In Spain "Pont Reyes Informatica" is selling the HP35s for €73,08 (including VAT). Its package/box is for Spain and Portugal (it comes with two user's guides: one in Spanish and one in Portuguese). I have bought a HP35s there and also ordered one at Samson Cables for collecting purposes (which will come with the user's guide in English). Greets

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #11 Posted by Rafael Millán on 1 Aug 2007, 9:03 p.m., in response to message #10 by Ivan Latorre Iván, I cannot find any mention to the 35s in that website, could you give us a direct link? Also, they don't seem to sell online. Regards, R.

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #12 Posted by Ivan Latorre on 2 Aug 2007, 2:41 a.m., in response to message #11 by Rafael Millán Their site is not updated but they sell the calculator. I was surprised because I already had ordered the HP35s at Samson Cables (an it seems that last week Pont Reyes Informatica already had it in stock...). I will keep the "English edition" for collecting purposes.

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #14 Posted by Thomas Radtke on 30 July 2007, 7:51 a.m., in response to message #1 by Doctor Bubu Got my 35s today! Ordered July 15th, paid $52.99 plus $35 shipping & taxes. Good 32SII replacement, key haptics ist even better than on my Singapore Pioneer, no missed keystrokes, perfectly aligned LCD, STO as second function ist a design flaw. All in all, I love it thus far.

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #15 Posted by Frank Rottgardt on 30 July 2007, 3:21 p.m., in response to message #14 by Thomas Radtke At Dynatech Germany one can order an 35s for 70 Euro (96 USD) plus 8 Euro (11 USD) UPS-shipment within Germany. Search on the website for Taschenrechner / Hersteller / HP / 35s Problem: item is listed as ready for shipment during fall 2007 !!

Re: Finaly, the 35s arrived in Germany! Message #16 Posted by Thomas Radtke on 30 July 2007, 4:59 p.m., in response to message #15 by Frank Rottgardt Well, in the end, the SC deal was not too bad. The 35s arrived sooner than expected so why would anyone pay more? As much as I'm enthusiastic about the new machine, I'm not sure if I would have paid more than what I actually did.
