It appears Thomann adding UK VAT to any order up to £135 in line with the new rules, after which they are selling ex-vat. Interesting contrast with Musik Productiv. I have orders in with both, so we shall see what happens!

Ah man, that’s gorgeous as well, what a shame. Very unique though, so it’s going to stand out like a sore thumb, do all you can to make it too hot to move! Hopefully in terms of cost you’re okay there and the luthier sent it fully insured? Either way, if you did commission the build, you haven’t received it so ultimately it’s going to be the seller that loses out financially if it’s gone.

Voodoo Lab Digital Pedal Power supply. Excellent high quality power supply, with 6 outputs across 4 isolated sections as follows:- 1 x 400ma isolated ouput 1 x 400ma isolated ouput 1 x 9v + 12v Twin outputs 400ma total 1 x 9v + 12v Twin outputs 400ma total Huge amount of juice for the money. Comes with all its cables and original box. Power Supply unit itself has dual lock attached and a bit of residue at the bottom, bit scruffy underneath but in great condition and functions as-new. Pic below for reference. These retail for £140 or so but for a quick sale I'm just after £75 for this. It's this one: https://www.gak.co.uk/en/voodoo-labs-pedal-power-digital-pedal-board-power-supply/98543?gclid=Cj0KCQiArvX_BRCyARIsAKsnTxOSmuo6yMjGwwjLH8qJRQwsM_FLR5nMabgWJ2F5vBE3UaYfQjKhVKgaAvAnEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Will ship by 48h courier. -
Okay, so I took the plunge and ordered with Musik-Productive, with prices listed as including Tax and Custom Fees. Confirmation email received, and itemised on it is a separate figure (within the total) for “Import Duties”. So, it looks like they’re right, and they’re using UPS as a customs broker? Proof is in the pudding (whether I get a bill from UPS or not), we’ll see!
-
Can not, or should not? Not the same in these circumstances I shouldn’t think, if the right paperwork isn’t prepared.
-
You misunderstood, I meant when you bought it was irrelevant to whether or not your paid VAT again or not. Could have backordered in November and it still would have cost you more if it hit the border after 1/1. It must have come up for a lot of people, unless they were just sending ones back that were marked as EU , as they wouldn’t have the right papers.
-
their response...
-
Wonder when it passed through customs? As it’s irrelevant when you order it, it would have been when it arrived in the country?
-
I always shop local wherever possible, check back to read why I’m looking not to this time. 🙂
-
That's what I expected, but alas I got all the way to the end, it is very much charging the inc VAT price. As I say, I';ve emailed them to ask but no response yet.
-
Yeah I get the ones that are doing that, Musik Productiv was one of them in December, but they have now changed to say they are shipping, but slower. Their website works for other countries, ie selecting Turkey results in a ex vat price and a warning about customs... it’s very odd
-
So what are every other shop other than Thomann that I can see playing at? They are allowing you to pay the inc vat price, and a lot of them have been updated to contain notices about 1/1 onwards, so its not a matter of it not just being updated?
-
I’m sure UPS are?
-
Well this is it, surely the store can’t include VAT in the selling price, and then be invoiced the VAT at customs?? That’s what I don’t understand, surely it should be either ex vat, or inc vat and they pay importation costs through their contract with UPS? I’ve asked them but no response yet, but right answer can’t be VAT is paid twice by the consumer. Context on this is they have stock of something I want that UK dealers aren’t expecting a shipment of until next month, hence the dilemma about to whether to order or not.
-
Apologies if covered, but Musik Productiv still list all the prices inc VAT, and a header on their website seems to suggest that UPS handle customs clearance, implying that effectively other than paperworks and slower shipping, nothing has really changed. Is this true?

Got a nice couple of shots in good light this morning, grain on this bass is unreal... 😁 https://www.instagram.com/p/CJbN_bBMB05/?igshid=1fpjx9s23j4nv

Ah okay. The famous e-cheque... Apologies for stating the obvious but let it serve as reminder to all, please don’t use PayPal Gift or BACs unless you know and wholly trust the person you’re dealing with. If they insist on it, run a mile. Offer to pay the 4% PayPal fee to cover yourself, it’s worth it and the seller has no justifiable reason to say no to that, unless they don’t want you to have that protection.
-
How does a PayPal refund even fail, out of interest? Lack of funds in the account? I always thought PayPal protected the buyer, or have these been gift payments made to him?

Your best (and worst!) bass gear purchases of 2020?
Kev replied to Al Krow's topic in General Discussion
Best: without doubt my Masterbuilt Warwick Thumb NT. Most expensive bass I’ve bought in years but it’s a masterpiece of an instrument and worth every penny. Worst? Well it was a very quiet year for new purchases really, so wouldn’t really be fair to give the worst title to anything. -
Seriously wish I was the owner of this bass. It’s just wonderful. -
Worth bearing in mind that 500ma will be an over estimate based on the pedal being pushed to the Max (all lights on, used as an interface etc). In normal use, I doubt you’ll need that much juice.
-
Don’t worry, provided that no one takes things too far with their comments, this thread isn’t going anywhere.

I am sure no one means him any true harm, I’m sure everyone just wants to make sure that as many people as possible know what he has done, and help those who he has taken money from, which is a number sadly increasing all the time it seems. Try not to be personal, folks, the facts are damning enough 👍🏻
-
Without question. How ridiculous!
-
why would he be refunding you if he has proof of postage?
