    Estimated Import Fees are zero, is that not wrong?

    Amazon.com ships from the US so you're likely to get done for customs duty + VAT + handling charge.

    Amazon account for customs and VAT at their checkout. There is a promotion on. That is why they are so low.

    There were and are some other items in the promotion, not as good imo or expired.
    I am not sure if all are expired or waiting for new stock.

    There were some WD but they expired pretty quickly.

    I do not know why it does that, when you order two, it changes to say they have included charges. I ordered the 5TB and it came without any extra charges.
    I did not get charged for the 8TB for €160.
    It came from another forum and nobody has been getting charged, I misread though. It is a promotion, but the taxes are not. There is a lot of guess work going on that they reason is Amazons new shipping policy or that they ship from their EU stock (German fulfilment centre) and replenish, without charging the extra fees.

    Whatever the reason, it would seem that nobody has been charged yet on the other deals even though they have arrived. I did hesitate on posting the others, but a new one keeps appearing with more people getting them for the price marked.

    I am guessing he just meant VAT and handling.

    Warranty is covered by Seagate internationally.

    No, he mentioned the customs duty, VAT and handling charges. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

    Including shipping, roughly around €140 delivered.
    As it is, the exchange rate has dropped it down to €87.40 (free shipping in U.S.).

    There are many models on Amazon.com that are similarly cheaply priced, including WD.

    Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Portable External Hard Drive USB 3.0, Black (STDR4000100) is €84 + shipping

    My brother is in the US atm on a work trip so I just sent it to his office and he's gonna bring it back for me. Was $110 to send it to New York which is about €93. Was a bargain for a 4TB drive! Thanks OP!
