Re: Import Costs

At the end of the day it depends which HK site you order from depends on what you are going to get charged when it comes into the UK.. PM me..

Re: Import Costs

I've found it's cheaper to buy things from HK in lots of small orders rather than one large one. Keeping the total below the customs threshold (sorry, I've forgotten what it is at the moment) means you don't pay duty, VAT or parcel force clearance fees. This saves more than you pay in extra postage.

Re: Import Costs

When your making a big order like you are its not so bad.
But ive just brought one small part from asia that 100% isnt available here costing £7 after postage, vat, customs and parcelforce clearance fee its cost me closer to £30 but i absolutly need it to skirmish my new gun so have to swallow it.

I've never been done on anything that cheap! unlucky

Re: Import Costs

Remember, if Parcelfarce try and stick you with a bill, agree to pay the VAT charge but not the handling charge. Quote Sections 83 and 84 of the postal services act if need be, it's saved me hundreds

Re: Import Costs

Yeahh I would'nt buy one item from abroad, gonna save up and buy as much as i can at once now

If you want an Edgi barrel, I got a direct contact with edgi himself, far more cheaper than buying in the US, just drop me a PM if your interested.

Re: Import Costs

Anything above 30 dollars is taxed. Unfortunately the costs are calculated by adding value of the goods and the shipping. It is usually 20-25 % of the combined value ( I always estimate +25%)
E.g.
Gun $100
delivery $30
total $130
tax and handling + 20% (£)
