Originally posted by Ishpuini I saw that price too, but didn't order at Amazon. Simple reason being that I know they add TVA to their list prices for all products they ship to Belgium. I regularly order books from them, hence I know. Don't they do that for shipments to the Netherlands? Anyway, I ordered from SRSMicroSystems for £329, which is not that much more. I have great experience buying from them (bought both DA15/4 and Sigma DC 8-16 from them). The last I checked (this morning) my Q had arrived in Belgium. I expect to find a piece of paper in the mailbox either today or tomorrow...

Yep, I too ordered from amazon.co.uk. But there's a hitch: you HAVE to stay in Pound Sterling as a foreign buyer. Amazon.co.uk asks you if you want to "conveniently" continue your purchase(s) in your home-currency (i.e. EUR). If you do so, they will apply the amazon-rate (try it - you can always click the back-button); the official rate plus 3% "typical credit card rate" (using the oanda.com currency converter) is way lower (in case of the Q, staying in Pound Sterling and letting the banks/credit card companies handle the transaction, saved my appr. EUR 30,-). Shipping from the U.K. though is extremely cheap, it was appr. EUR 3,50 from the U.K. to Austria (though mysteriously they used the Austrian post as the seal on the parcel indicated, so maybe the product was dispatched from their Austrian depot anyway applying the lower U.K price; shipping speed was also suspicious: ordered on Tuesday and had it at may office on Friday). Might be different in Belgium though...
Rule of thumb when ordering from amazon.co.uk: always stay in Pound Sterling!
