Now that's impressive!
Nice tidy saving too 🙂

Fox Talas 32 RLC QR15 £350 that makes a saving of over £400! No import duty either which was a bonus.

I think that the shop deserves a name call...

Hope that they don't need any warranty work on them, mind though for that saving I suppose you can afford a couple of sets of new stanchions 🙂

It was an eBay shop, not sure I can post a link.
I ordered some Hope Tech M4's from Portugal last wed and they've not arrived yesterday....now that's what they call shopping around. 🙂

Did you get charged import duties?

I got some Avid codes from Jenson USA for £170 compared to £260 on CRC. 10 days later a letter from FedEX arrived with the £25 import duty. Still a good save but not the bargain I originally started raving about! Again, I ordered Tues 02.00am and they arrived on Thursday!

So is that the same as tax evasion?

you may get charged tax yet, can take a few days to come through.

I had a similar experience though, titanium cookwear ordered from US, arrived 3 days later with a birthday card inside 🙂

i wouldn't say it is tax evasion, just HMRC not doing their job properly.
