FAO: FBM Custom Frame Owners in the UK

(1/3) > >>

lifeloveregret:
I want to order a custom frame from FBM, but I am concerned that there is going to be a substantial customs fee when it is sent over the pond. Can anybody in the UK reveal their experiences?

meathead:
wouldnt just yet mate , still waiting for the AOD frames to arrive ... only a little delay of 8months on them tho :)

also they are having a load of bollocks with the painters

Sasha:
Topsey has one. He waited a long time and got a customs fee iirc

WoBBLE:
I had a custom autopilot several years back (ordered through Empire). Took a few weeks to get from FBM to Empire then a week or so from there to UK. unfortunately i got hit big time through customs, and had them same problem when ordering my Forecaster from state side too. Worked out to be a fraction cheaper than ordering from within the UK overall, but when you consider that the price is for a unique and personal frame, it could be worth forking out for.

dude...:
i remember the good old days when you could get a custom solid for under 200 quid shipped
