RobSheffield Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 On reflection actually it may have been £467 on £1600, and some of that was on handling fees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 On reflection actually it may have been £467 on £1600, and some of that was on handling fees that sounds better, Rob. the CCW's i priced up worked out at about £1600 (i.e. not USD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psymon Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 If the company is nice, get them to send as Samples, or prototypes, that way you avoid the duty........ Not that Ive done this at all in any shape or form lol :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 but what happens if it gets buggered in the transit. and its valued down to like £300 from 2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Huntley Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 That there lies the problem and boy do we get a few wheels damaged in Transit! Please give us a try we are very competative on all wheels often cheaper than buying from the US or Japan when you factor in the shipping, VAT and Duty. Thanks Kevin but what happens if it gets buggered in the transit. and its valued down to like £300 from 2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockys96 Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 the kit importing, id love to de-value it down to 1k to skip some vat and duty. but id rather insure and declare to full value incase something happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
