Just wondering how much they normally charge for shipping? as the black tuffs work out at only £42!
anyone else bought some and could tell me roughly what they charged? and would be hit with any import duty??
-
i got two pairs a long time ago, got stung with duty (luck of the draw i suppose) in all they ended up costin me £130, so if ya lucky and avoid the cunstoms charges they is deffo cheaper
-
$56.............

He charged me $85 delivery on two sets costing $90 each. There was an extra charge of $100 but I cant remember what it was for. Maybe import duty upfront because I didn't get charged. Still £180 for two sets delivered. :daumenhoch:

my experience is a duty free delivery of some ez bars, Ed knows how to sort the paperwork. PM him he will tell you :daumenhoch:

Every time i've bought from the USA, no matter who from, even using the shipping code that was posted here ages ago somewhere (I forget where), i've ended up paying a fortune in tax. :'(
Saying that though, I still managed to get some Tuffs and brake pads from Ed on many occasions for less than it would cost to buy them here.
Oh, Ed, if you read this - WHERE'S OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY T/A FRAMES AND FORKS? >:D I need another T/A, damnit! ;D

my m8 lives in fort lauderdale and when he sends stuff back to his bro he just writes sample on the packet or parcel. he says it gets through much cheaper, i dont know if thats true or not?

Also had some Redline cranks from Ed, No tax.

Thanks Guys but bought a set off Grinnys for £66 posted! and she assures me that she knows how to get round the duty.............so i'll be expecting a Duty tax bill of around £500 then ;)

Ginny has assured me every time too. It hasn't happened yet. Five sales, five lots of tax.

Bummer! >:( so what should i expect to be hit for then? about another £30? :-\
-
I seemed to get hit for anywhere between £17 and £32 depending on what I have bought.
Two sets of wheels cost me the £32, £24 tax and £8 from Parcefarce 'handling charge' b@stards. :2gunsfiring_v1: :2gunsfiring_v1:

well if i get hit.... i get hit i guess :( but i'll let her know if i do as she insisted she knows how to get round it and that as far as she knew, no one had had to pay it. bloody sales pitch!! still they are only £60 odd quid! which i thought was well cheap! :daumenhoch: after chatting with her via email.....she's even chucking in a Shimano freewheel for $10! :daumenhoch:

Ginny is a good lass. Waaaaay more prompt in delivering than Ed is too, from my experience. All my stuff from her has arrived within ten days at the latest. :daumenhoch:

yeah i've had a few bits off her (and thinking of it never hit with Duty) and they've all arrived within a week :daumenhoch:
-
oops ive just bought some graphites from ed, how long am i looking at for shipping??
-
It depends on how busy Ed is, to be honest. Normally you're looking at two weeks minimum (from experience). A set of Tuffs took a month last time I bought from him.
But this is only my experience of course. Others may have had a better response.
