Title: Good price or not ?
Post by: Chilli Rinse on February 18, 2018, 07:49 PM
Hi guys,

I can import this frame set from the states for £220 all in. Do you think I’ll get a better deal in the UK or from Radsters ? I would refinish any frame I buy unless it was nice survivor condition. What say you ? Thanks

You will be hit for customs charges at this end on top of that price  :knuppel2:

I keep reading that coonting thing and still fook all mate !  I am not willing to concede that all the years of drug and alcohol abuse have addled my swede in such a way as not to be able to insert a fookin picture into some coonting text !  :tickedoff:

I thought the eBay GSP program payment was the import fees payed upfront. I’ve just payed for it so I’ll have to wait and see. Got the frame set for £120 in the end. Ive seen forks on there own go for a bit less so I couldn’t resist. My first old school build may cost a little more than I bargained for if I get hit with additional charges. Oh well.

if it was a GSP transaction you will get no additional charges, you have already paid them in advance  :daumenhoch:

To echo what's already been said, I don't think there'll be any additional customs fees. :daumenhoch:

Thanks Mikku and Deeman. I was hoping that was the case. Looks like all in it wasn’t too bad a deal. Now I have to decide what colour to go with. Unless the finish under the paint is ok.
