FAO: FBM Custom Frame Owners in the UK

<< < (2/3) > >>

Kinchy:
What's going on with that UK custom company?

JFax:
A good friend of mine just got a custom FBM. He was in the states at the time and it took 6 weeks to get.
He expecienced same problem with the painters as someone else mentioned. They have since changed company they work with though.

I am swedish and our customs agency has a calculator tool where you type in product type, country of origin and price and it gives you the tax and custom fee immidiatly, I expect that there is something similar in the UK.

dude...:
it used to be ok then i think the uk distros complained cos people were ordering from america for cheaper and taking their business.

in australia where i live everyone used to just order from dans, theyre getting better at supporting local shops now though

JFax:
Was the same in Sweden when the dollar was like 50 % cheaper and flatlandfuel and Empire used to play with the custom declaration. FF used to write "Childrens bicycle parts worth $20" and it flew through customs. Empire got caught by the US custom agency though and had to stop.

Dr. Steve Brule:
Get a Limit.
