David B Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I’m not familiar with the seller but they do seem to have some very well priced products and I wondered if there was a catch somewhere. From what the OP has said it appears they are sound. Is Germany awash with different music superstores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulWarning Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 no problems with customs? with it coming from the EU, like additional charges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAdder60 Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Some good prices and some higher than U.K. shops The Pro Neo cabs are more expensive than Ashdown direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 @David B I have to say I was hesitant, but at the price I thought I’d give it a whirl. No problems what so ever, bearing in mind if it went wrong I would have been covered by Visa. I can’t believe the price though, this is inclusive of Vat and customs import duty. I think the RM 500 is £232 all in😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancer Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 @PaulWarning No not at all, all inclusive in the price 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try them for my next bit of "German shopping" as Thomann are terrible on their deliveries now, for me anyway. Those Ashdown prices are very tempting.

BillyBass Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I've just pulled the trigger on an Ashdown RM800 EVO 2 too. £286.00 is a no brainer for me. Even if I don't use the preamp section, and run my Di-2112 into the effects return, £286 for an 800w power amp is still a bargain. Somehow though, I can see myself using it as a standalone amp into my Super compact. For anyone else nervous about VAT and customs duties, the webpage with the product says 'incl taxes and customs duties, free delivery'. After clicking 'add to basket' you go to the basket page and there is a paragraph under the order which states that customs duties have to be paid outside the EU! Following the OP's experience I bought anyway and the e-mail I got from them has the unit price at £238.33 and 'import duties' at £47.67, which is 20% of the unit price, so that's the VAT then. I have not ordered from the EU since Brexit proper happened so I'm not sure if I am liable for any other import duties but if there are any, they will be negligible.

NJE Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 That’s really interesting, I am thinking about ordering but it wasn’t clear to me what I would or wouldn’t pay. If I have to pay an extra 20% on top of the advertised price, it’s not far off a deal Andertons have, and given UPS are useless I think I would be better off buying from the UK and taking advantage of the 0% finance.

No you don't have to pay an extra 20%, the Vat is included in the price they advertise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happypants Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Crazy prices! With the prices so similar, is there any disadvantage of going for the RM800 over the RM500 aside from being overkill? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
