Kobir Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 hi there guys, just looked at a new set of wheels, now been looking all over for a UK seller, but have had no luck, the wheels I'm wanting to get is the Advans AVS T5, so i guess il have to get them from the states, just wanted to ask if any of you guys on the forum have purchased wheels from the states, what kind of shippings costs did you pay and how much did you have to pay for customs? any info would be really helpful as i don't want to buy the wheels and then pay a huge customs fee which i won't be able to afford thanks in advance kay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 customs and vat plus handling charge - will add about 30 -50 % to the price you pay (calculated on total price ie wheels and shipping) You will probably find its not worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblebee Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 if you look at the price in Dollars , by the time you get it into the UK it will be roughly the same in £`s. Import tax and duty is about 22% on top of the total cost of item and shipping..Robbing Gits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serratia Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Yeah, Bumblebee and I have had a few orders from the states. My last order was $2500 as it was a group order and customs/import charges were 22% of the cost of the parts. Not including delivery.
