Lewis Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 28kg built into casing Unless I used 4kg of cardboard and tape (a distinct possibility) then kaiser lockers must be heavier than most - that parcel was 32kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwakers Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 ok, price goes up to £160 odd for 28kg.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discomikey Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 as a rough guess the ash ATB is around 15 kg dont quote me though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertspark Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Same here in shipping from the USA Wish there was a cheaper alternative plus without the duty and vat mans takings too on the whole lot (goods plus shipping). Goods I can kind of understand if you're undermining uk business (if there was a uk business producing the said item) but shipping no that is unreasonable. The ashcroft is 6 pocket and a nice machined part against the true trac cast and then machined and only 3 pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Wow, that is cheap! I'd imagine postage to NZ would change that though. (I really wish I had access to some UK priced parts right now - my 110 project is killing me but when I try to order from there, the shipping is insane.) Normally I find shipping here to Canada is less than the VAT that you save, meaning we end up paying less in Canada than a buyer in the UK...

Anderzander Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Do you not get collared for an import tax ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertspark Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 pity we could not run a relay overseas ... share a shipping container or something (no idea on what it takes to clear customs with a container) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 More elaborately we could all form a company - 'Diff Testers Anonymous' , buy a raft of Diffs, test them, claim the VAT back, and go bust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Member Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Do you not get collared for an import tax ? 5% sales tax. No duty if you say it is for a car more than 25 years old. 6% duty otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertspark Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Don't get me started on royal mail / parcelfarce ... 20% VAT (anything over £15, applied to the whole value [shipping cost + goods!]), + Duty (above £135) + a royal mail handling fee £8 (for anything iincurring VAT / duty) ... plus storage fees after 10 days with parcel farce.... for what, not actually delivering it to my house, given I have to collect it from the sorting office after it's been held in transit until I pay up .... DHL / fedex, no problem ... arrives wherever its sent in a timely fashion ... few days later bill arrives for VAT / duty, no extra's, no ransom demand or anything, think its 21 / 30 day terms + a gently reminder if you forget (fair do's I pay what's owed), done like a civilised company not a dick turpin outfit back on topic, I'd recommend supporting those companies that support Landrovers & develop products directly (plus come on here too) and buy British (if the yanks can be patriotic why do brits struggle with it?)

deep Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 About £75 to NZ, not that bad really, Dave No, not at all. There's a better than even chance I'll chase that up one day. Meanwhile, I am still dealing with a 110 project that I thought was a simple strip-to-replace-bulkhead (new bulkhead already fitted, how hard can that be to finish?) but is actually an incomplete collection of not-quite fitting parts, with plenty missing, oh dear. The price of the little things hurts beyond budget so any traction aids remain in the grossly decadent luxury item pile. For now! I love how off-topic we have got without losing the original question. Very classy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
