throwoff Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 The biggest players in the USA are now shipping to the UK. It would appear they are only shipping smaller brands to UK but their price at checkout even included VAT and duty so you dont need to worry, put in your credit card details and thats it all paid there and then.

Lozz196 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Very interesting, ncie to see the duty all calculated up front. Wonder if HMC will respect that. Quote
yorks5stringer Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Imagine the airmiles in buying a UK built Trace or Ashdown Head from them? Quote
CBbass Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 I wish more USA stores would include overseas charges on checkout, I know Amazon have done it for orders I've done which was nice. Quote
throwoff Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 [quote name='Johnston' timestamp='1331751192' post='1578339'] Probably not as HMRC pick their conversion rate once a month or something daft. And it might not be what the bank rate is.

Gust0o Posted March 15, 2012 Posted March 15, 2012 Would be good if the duty and tax were properly calculated, a little piece of mind when purchasing! It seems to be doing so, which is very positive. Pity the brand selection appears so limited, however. Quote
throwoff Posted March 15, 2012 Author Posted March 15, 2012 I think they are only selling the brands they have permission to sell internationally. Quote
