You add customs charges to the oversea's seat and the £8 handling charge and it will vome to more than that.

That could explain why it sold for that

No customs when these seats are sent over. Arrive within the week too.
No extra costs when you buy off Moonster :daumenhoch:

I appreciate what your saying, but to anyone who hasn't bought one before wouldn't know that.

I've bought noddy little things from abroad of eBay and until you receive them your unsure what any extra costs there will be.

Technically there should be VAT and duties on them. Most often they do slip through the net, but to state that there is no customs outright isn't entirely correct.  :daumenhoch:

Who cares anyway. Some people spend their money on stupid shit like cigarettes that not only burn into nothing, but actually kill them at the same time. I dont see any of us calling them Thick Bastards.  :LolLolLolLol:

Well if we're going technical I should have written:

Of all the seats I have purchased from Ian, none of them have been held up by customs as they are marked such that they do not attract VAT or handling charges. It is unlikely that they have simply 'slipped' through.

That said the one package (brakes, pedals and other shit) that I paid for express delivery on did get caught up in customs and took 2 weeks to come out the other end, so I wouldn't pay the extra charge for express again as his standard delivery is good enough.

i'm not saying to be technical

just saying that until you have your first purchase from him you don't know how the customs slip will be completed.
