charic Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 I'm pretty sure you can buy from them direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 You can buy direct yes. Bergantino are also very much looking at ways to get them in to the UK, so certainly aren't forgetting about everyone else round the world - so hopefully there will be some news on that soon. Having experience with the B|Amp, knowing what I know now, yes I would most certainly import. I am a fan! I've not tried the Forte yet, but I would love to get one in to the magazine for a full video review. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always used Transferwise, which so far has been very good; similarly, it was difficult and more expensive through my own bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

only4 Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Only just seen this thread, great choice by the way! I bought my bluetooth foot pedal direct from Bergantino after buying BassDirects last Bamp. The transaction was simple and the duty to pay wasn't much. The pedal arrived within 2 days of ordering it, which is quicker than most delivery within the UK! I can't wait to see what you think about the amp, have fun!

I wonder if Jim knows what a hassle it can be buying direct from him if things don’t go smoothly. We need a new UK outlet or as you say people may be put off. I hope customs get things sorted quickly for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
