Dom, the seller, seems like a really nice guy too, I met him at the Classic this year :) Title: Re: Don't stop and think about it, just buy it... Post by: Otto/DFL on September 26, 2007, 09:54:58 am Lecker! ;D

Post by: Neil Davies on September 26, 2007, 12:54:22 pm In all seriousness, how much would it cost to import something like this from the US to the UK?
It's $6000, so if we say £3000 (it's roughly $2 to the £) I know there is the 17.5% VAT which takes it to £3525. How much does shipping cost, and do you add VAT before or after shipping costs? Title: Re: Don't stop and think about it, just buy it... Post by: benssp on September 26, 2007, 13:02:31 pm I think shipping will be about £800 - £1200, import duty is £50 and then the VAT is on top, unlless you can get him to do you a receipt with 'SAMPLE' written on it ;D

Keith has got a lot to answer for. Firstly creating the Cal-look book I had my order in before it came out. ;)ss Secondly for creating Keith Seume's / Cal-Look.com's World Famous Cal-Look Forum. Where the buyer saw the sale His heads up post on the lounge helped the buyer realise she did the right thing. I'm not the buyer ;) Heather ''Powder Puff'' Christie is the new owner ;D Her first book was the Shirley Muldowney story :o Here's to all the brothers and sisters of the cal-look Title: Re: Don't stop and think about it, just buy it...
