hi,i know a few here have bought tm from the states.What kind of money you talking to ship it over?Thanks

[Simon Gerrard]

Depends what you're shipping, how big it is, how much it weighs etc. Don't forget you pay import duty and vat on top of the original cost.

Simon

[Mike Halliday]

What's the good buys in the USA that's worth importing?

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

Thanks Simon,registered for vat so thats ok,someone mentioned if you say the machine is for parts only you pay a reduced duty.
Mike,i was looking at a prochem legend,

[Simon Gerrard]

You won't get a Legend, no US dealer will supply you with one and you would have to forgo the warranty even if you did find someone prepared to sell you one.

Simon

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

Why would a dealer not sell me a legend?
It is not a dealer,its a carpet cleaner who bought a new machine,i know its risky buying unseen.I am just window shopping,if a bargain did come up if it would be worth my while?

[Simon Gerrard]

If it's secondhand, you'd be looking at hundreds of pounds to get it over here, plus the risk of buying it unseen, rather you than me

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

That is true Simon,as i said i am just looking,There is always the chance when buying 2nd hand,even more so unseen,but you might just pick up a bargain.

[ian harper]

dont forgot many use direct drive

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

True Ian , this is a prochem

[Glynn]

Can't you source a Truckmount on ebay etc ?.
They are always coming up and it would be a sure fire safer way of buying one instead of from overseas.

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

Hey Glynn,seems to be more bargains stateside.

[Radek Jablonski]

Did you consider new good proper machine with warranty through leasing?

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

Radek I have a tm, just playing with the idea of a backup
If the price was right.

[Neil Jones]

A back up TM? Is that necessary?

[Brendan (chem2clean)]

Maybe add another van.as really just you ohm with the idea.
