lucky you... last week i tried and the cost was around 360 EUR. i just tried it cost was whooping 600 EUR. Looks like the shipping and import taxes have gone north suddenly by additional 250EUR.

My friend after seeing the setup I had tried to place a similar order and called up to blast me :sad:
He asked me to place the order on his behalf(to see if I had some special price with amazon).
So I tried adding it again, as you said suddenly they have hiked the S&H and customs charges:
The current charges for JBL 250:
Item: EUR 251.26
Packaging & Shipping: EUR 235.68
Advance payment of import fee: EUR 113.54
Total : 600.48
The price goes to 42+K compared to 40K if you buy locally.
My Invoice when I placed the order(7-Aug) was:
Item: EUR 251.26
Packaging & Shipping: EUR 40.00
Advance payment of import fee: EUR 67.90
Total to pay: EUR 359.16
And this not just a lone case for this sub alone: Around 15 days ago I bought Heco 700(pair), Heco 200 and JBL EC25 for 463 all inclusive, now it around 946.95[417(S&H)+196(Cus)] .
It is not cheap to buy from Amazon.de anymore
