oldslapper Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Sold an acoustic guitar on eBay £95. Bought by bloke in NI. Now lumbered with Export forms that appear to think I’m a commercial business, asking questions I have no idea how to answer. Thinking of putting the guitar, case, box and forms on a bonfire next Saturday night. Why is everything just shight. 😡 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 TBH a bloke bought a bass off me and he was from NI. He booked the courier and sent me the papers to print off (multiple copies of 3 docs), UPS collected and the courier guy was quite helpful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No because they pay into the club and have to follow a lot of not all of it's rules but aren't full members so don't have a say in making those rules. They also have a cultural and political history of not getting too involved in major things happening in Europe so I'm sure they're happy with their lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velarian Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I don’t know if the same applies to goods coming in the other direction but I bought a bass from @briansbrew without any problem. He might have some insight on this? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrig Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I've sold a few things recently to fellow BC'ers who live in NI and never had any problems whatsoever, I booked the couriers in the normal way through InterParcel, and it was no different than sending something to mainland UK, no paperwork or forms to fill in.

fretmeister Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 NI shouldn’t need any forms, it’s part of UK! I had a cretin at a PO who didn’t know the difference between NI and ROI. That was exhausting to sort out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Bought quite a few guitars from mainland UK and had them sent here with absolutely no issues. Courier booked in the normal way with no additional forms or paperwork at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookPassBabtridge Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Likewise…I’ve sold stuff to NI recently and had no additional forms to fill in, sounds like an odd situation here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldslapper Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Well I’ve been informed that it’s been delivered so all that documentation I was instructed to include was a waste of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldslapper Posted November 4, 2022 Author Share Posted November 4, 2022 Took 3 days, so probably quicker than if I’d sent it to Bristol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
