SimonCornes Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just a quick thread to say how impressed I was with this retailer’s performance. A friend knew I was on the lookout for a Fisher RF-8A conversion and he emailed me last Friday to say this retailer had the conversion and so I bought it there and then. What impresses me is the excellent communication from AM along with details of the shipper - DHL - and they I turn we’re excellent in their communication. The parcel arrived yesterday and I’m very pleased to have it but it’s good to know how well a company performs especially when shipping to the U.K. so the VAT was included in the price and I could relax about not getting a dreaded vat and admin bill!! Great stuff! adameliclem, LSP_K2, kalashnikov-47 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 This is an excellent reseller. I generally get what I'm ordering from them within three days! Of course this has a price. LSP_K2 and quang 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul in Napier Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 They wanted like 35 euros to ship it to me in the US. The set was 4 euros. Jennings...if you get to the checkout, there's an option to change this. But yes I agree it's not clear and put me off ordering for ages until someone mentioned this point!

James Rademaker Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I have a question for the group. When ordering from a distributor in the EU or Great Briton, is a VAT charge added to the order in addition to the normal shipping charges? Or is the VAT just a charge from EU to Great Briton? Regards, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 To my knowledge, goods that are exported to outside the EU are exempt of VAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Correct. You should not pay a VAT. This is a European privilege ! Stevepd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jim It’s actually sort of better for us Brits as if they don’t charge at point of sale then the U.K. Revenue will charge tax plus a further admin charge so I’d rather have a price including vat before I buy. In this case, if I’d bought it from Paul I would have still had to pay tax plus charge and the postage charge, whilst not cheap, got the conversion to me very quickly. And no one has offered this conversion for sale on LSP for years and if they did, chances are it would be in the USA and not cheap. All in all I’m very pleased!!

The seller should only apply VAT in Europe before sending to UK if he previously agreed to collect VAT on behalf of UK! Otherwise there is a risk British customs will still require VAT payment to release the imported item! I had such a problem in the opposite direction but the logic is the same. The problem lies in the fact some people do not realize they should deduce VAT if there is not such an agreement as you will pay it in your country. A logical consequence of Brexit: VAT in UK and in the EU are now two different things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 And you can add to that another problem: in spite of the fact you have VAT on both sides it is not always applicable on both sides. One good exemple: books! No VAT in UK but low VAT in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thierry laurent Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 You pay for what you get. The problem is the lack of options. They just offer an express delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
