importing goods

[neil hpParticipant @neilhp]

does any member know of a good but cheep courier who can import items from the USA.

my reason is simple.

I wish to buy a Dewalt 10 inch circular saw DW744.

In this country it would cost me £635.00 PLUS vat.

In the states I can buy exactly the same saw for $505.00 (dollars) roughly £250. on top of that is 1.7% import tax and then VAT on the whole lot inc. cost of delivery………….somewhat cheeper than the *UK price….just got to find someone bulk shipping to bring one over.any help would be appreciated.neil.

Hi Neil,

Sorry, don’t know of any cheap importers, but have you tried contacting the company that’s selling it in the U.S. (assuming its not DeWalt) and seeing what they charge for delivery.

Cheers – Ken

hi, Ken. yes, but sadly at the moment they only ship to US destinations.their reply is please ask again in a few months.UPS want to charge $450 for shipping single items in a 3 day shipping.

cheers,neil.

Hi Neil,

One currently on Ebay – at £62.oo (reserve not met) collection from Middlesex, 2days 23hrs to go.

10" table saw with upratted motor.

May be worth keeping an eye on.

Ken is onto something with ebay, try logging into ebay’s american site and finding a Dewalt dealer who will ship to the UK.
