Anyone bought tuffs off Colouredtuffs?

[pickle]

Just wondering how much they normally charge for shipping?  as the black tuffs work out at only £42!

anyone else bought some and could tell me roughly what they charged?  and would be hit with any import duty??

[OrgasmDonor]

i got two pairs a long time ago, got stung with duty (luck of the draw i suppose) in all they ended up costin me £130, so if ya lucky and avoid the cunstoms charges they is deffo cheaper

$56.............

He charged me $85 delivery on two sets costing $90 each. There was an extra charge of $100 but I cant remember what it was for. Maybe import duty upfront because I didn't get charged. Still £180 for two sets delivered.

my experience is a duty free delivery of some ez bars, Ed knows how to sort the paperwork. PM him he will tell you

Every time i've bought from the USA, no matter who from, even using the shipping code that was posted here ages ago somewhere (I forget where), i've ended up paying a fortune in tax. 

Saying that though, I still managed to get some Tuffs and brake pads from Ed on many occasions for less than it would cost to buy them here.

Oh, Ed, if you read this - WHERE'S OUR 25TH ANNIVERSARY T/A FRAMES AND FORKS?     I need another T/A, damnit!

my m8 lives in fort lauderdale and when he sends stuff back to his bro he just writes sample on the packet or parcel. he says it gets through much cheaper, i dont know if thats true or not?

Also had some Redline cranks from Ed, No tax.

Thanks Guys but bought a set off Grinnys for £66 posted!  and she assures me that she knows how to get round the duty.............so i'll be expecting a Duty tax bill of around £500 then

Ginny has assured me every time too. It hasn't happened yet. Five sales, five lots of tax.

[pickle]

Bummer!    so what should i expect to be hit for then?  about another £30? 

[highrisedrifter]

I seemed to get hit for anywhere between £17 and £32 depending on what I have bought.

Two sets of wheels cost me the £32, £24 tax and £8 from Parcefarce 'handling charge' b@stards.

well if i get hit.... i get hit i guess    but i'll let her know if i do as she insisted she knows how to get round it and that as far as she knew, no one had had to pay it.  bloody sales pitch!!  still they are only £60 odd quid! which i thought was well cheap!    after chatting with her via email.....she's even chucking in a Shimano freewheel for $10!

Ginny is a good lass. Waaaaay more prompt in delivering than Ed is too, from my experience. All my stuff from her has arrived within ten days at the latest.

[pickle]

yeah i've had a few bits off her (and thinking of it never hit with Duty) and they've all arrived within a week 

[matt]

oops ive just bought some graphites from ed, how long am i looking at for shipping??

[highrisedrifter]

It depends on how busy Ed is, to be honest. Normally you're looking at two weeks minimum (from experience). A set of Tuffs took a month last time I bought from him.

But this is only my experience of course. Others may have had a better response.
