Shipping in Europe & VAT/Customs

Before confirming your order, both shipping cost and tax will be displayed.

For the Netherlands, displayed tax was $0 and shipping was $57.20. So, I suppose the higher shipping cost is because of running an European distribution center. Much cheaper than import tax, though!

Your card doesn't get charged before they dispatch your order (and until then, you can cancel for free). See 3.5 and 4.6 of the terms of sale.

Tax is outside of Oculus' control; so, displayed tax is merely an indication. Since you mention VAT, I assume your from the UK. On riftorders someone from the UK confirms no tax in his case.

I would just order now, and cancel if close ordernumbers get into "processing" status too early. That would save you precious waiting time. (I wish I knew this myself before)

I used fake information to check it out (cant order right now, will get money at 15th), and it shows total charge 408$ (ie 108$ shipping and probably customs/tax charge). Is that price final then? I dont mind it, I just want to know if I need to have some spare cash for the customs/vat tax.

For me, that was the final price (no additional costs).

I Paid $369 USD (276 EU) nothing more, nothing less. The Oculus Rift is worth the money.


Hope new customer gets theirs Rift soon!

So there should be no additional cost when receiving the kit? That's the same amount I paid in Finland, still waiting tho. 🙂

Unfortunately, this is not the case. At least it was not for me. My card was charged within 10 minutes of placing my order.
