Avoid UPS the brown and goldy yellow side doored courier as hidden charges are extracted once deliveredor before delivery by crooked cs team members over phone.
Thanks for the PSA – I scoured the euro sites for a deal last year at the height of the post covid boom and the best “deal” I could find was £180!!! So happy that prices are starting to settle and deals can be once again had.
Thanks, one plus an XX chain ordered for the spares box.
After my memory of how much I paid for an eagle 12spn chain in lockdown (still worth it to avoid damaging the rather more expensive cassette) I’m keen to go back to my old habits of buying spares whilst cheap(er) rather than paying through the nose for spares “on demand”.
I’ve read the guidance and it’s not explicit, does anyone know if you pay duty only on the value above £135 or, if you breach the £135 value you pay duty on the whole amount?
GX cassette, chain & chainring comes to £141ish. 😬
(Great PSA, thank you, been eeking out a cassette for ages…)
Hmmm, my order was £158, I didn’t think about tax as assumed it was all included these days.
What taxes am I likely to get hit with – VAT plus £12 customs charge? It’s clear as mud
Ordered a XG1150 cassette yesterday and after thinking about it ordered another today. €82 delivered and hopefully no additional charges – I used r2-bike in June for a <€125 order and didn’t have anything extra to pay then, so fingers crossed.
GX Cassette is being prepared to be delivered by Parcelforce this morning so interested if any vat to pay given it was 0% on the invoice. Order was €112 including delivery.
