Wanted: Bar risers

[KeVstrom]

Thanks for the info Boomer
i will consider my options

[KeVstrom]

Bugger it. Ive order some from ebay US for 77 quid 

[keith]

keep your fingers crossed the customs dont slap there bit on when they land in this country , i've been charged twice when ordering raisers from the genmar factory.good luck.

[KeVstrom]

yeah that the only snag. Does duty and tax apply to the shipping cost or just the actual item value?

[Debs]

Its charged just for the price of the item...

You wont regret the risers

dont know how they actually calculate it ,but the last two sets of raisers from genmar ,they slapped £19.00 onboth times.i contested it the second time and waited ages for a reply,infact it was that long i had forgot asbout it,then a letter arrived telling me how they had ripped me off for my £19.00 ,you cant beat them,as i said good luck dont think they charge everyone.

[KeVstrom]

its something like 15% on top for import duty, then 20% VAT on top of the value + duty. so youre getting taxed on top of tax, which fair....... NOT!
Usually parcel force robbers charge you about 18 quid for the pleaseure of them looking at your parcel and charging you custom taxes, which again is fair....... NOT!

At least if its only 20 quid or so, its still inline with the 100 quid sets here. Might be worth noting though, i think Parcel Force keep records of parcel deliveries to private address, it they know they stung you once for customs for ordering goods from abroad to that address, i think they flag up your address when future deliveries come through too. This time its getting delivered to my parents address, so ill see what happens.

I've never heard of that one before kev...are you sure

I've had to pay through the nose on a number of occasions, customs, VAT & Parcel Force,  for N.O.S parts arriving from various parts of this planet. on one occasion the 'taxes' amounted to £90.00 on top of the price of the part, BUT it was an item for a Bridgestone that I simply couldn't source anywhere else, so I had to pay

[KeVstrom]

I cant confirm if its true, its just my suspicious mind. But if you think about it, in this day and age, how hard is it to flag up an address? Especially if youre know to import goods? I used to order stuff from the US for my car when i was heavily into modifyibg that. Eventually i kept getting collard for customs.

My Risers.. Love them :D

[O.C.]

TBH I've toyed with the idea of risers as me olde back plays up sometimes, maybe I'll fit a set someday

[KeVstrom]

Well my lower pegs arrived from the far east, and hopefully my riser will be here soon. Ill let you know how it feels when i have them fitted.

[KeVstrom]
