I ordered mine from Ebay US and it took 3 days to get here!

I had to pay £25 import tax too, the item with postage cost £108, about £25 for quick release and lance so it was about £158 all in. - And it works a treat!

[Kev Martin]

In general items from the USA attract an import tax of between 6-15% this is added to the cost then VAT @ 20% is applied to the lot.  In the great scheme of things we are talking pennies in the difference so

Item Costs £100
8% Tax        £   8
Vat              £ 21.60
T0tal           £129.60

Change the tax to 15% the difference is £8.40 more.  If anyone wants to import large items from the USA I can help with shipping as I bring in around 6 Containers every 2-3 months.  I can also help with import duties as I can pre calculate these from commodity codes.

Hope this Helps

why not get gear fsc  etc what people want ,   then sell them directly from here inc shipment to there address for a small commission.   yeah  its probably too much messing about .  id certainly buy a 18in Whirlaway.    maybe just order one later, pricewise you don't loose out

I saw that Rog.

We are still trying to get rid of the last lot from two weeks ago. In places it is still about four foot at the side of the roads.

Bit of rain forecast next week should put it to bed for this year. You southern softies will have to get your wooly jumpers out

[Kenny83]

Have you tried the mozzy yet rob?

[Rob_Mac]

No mate (good to meet you last night)

Had some personal stuff to take care of this morning, had to get a van ready for a two man job tomorrow - through the weekend, then cleaned the pick up, went to get some fuel with the lads as they set off, had my tea and have just spent a couple of hours on the RAMS for tomorrows work.

I am tidying my van tomorrow and it will get an outing on one of the roofs in the not too distant future.

Cheers

Rob

Haha, well I dont think many would argue with you if you wanted more than equal mate, forgot to ask also, what was it you did before you went into window cleaning? Have you always worked for yourself?
