Has anyone purchased anything from a non-EU bike vendor recently? Looking to see how bad customs and VAT tax was. Looking for delivery to the Northeast, USA. Thanks.
Yeah and its grim! It really depends on what is on the outside of the package. I purchased a Zipp 808 from USA which on the face of it look a great saving. Seller put full value of wheel + insurance cost + postage on the required note on outside of package and our good friends at HMRC added 20% to the whole lot!! Not such a great deal after all
