US purchase from Slipscreen in Wales.

[Cheryl]

Has anyone in USA purchased from Slipscreen in Wales? Custom fees, VAT etc?

I bought 2 screens from them for my bikes. Good quality for the price. Their Ebay site has cheaper prices, and I only paid the advertised price plus stated shipping charge.

Not them specifically, we here in the States don't pay VAT and I have yet to have to pay a customs fee. I spent a few $100 to the UK and more to Germany. Shipping has always been reasonable or free.

Purchased a shorty screen from them three years ago for my 1300.I find it excellent quality and frankly better for summer riding than OEM. Stood up well.

Never ordered anything from abroad, what's VAT?

Value Added Tax.

 

[Cheryl]

The Value Added Tax, or VAT, in the European Union is a general, broadly based consumption tax assessed on the value added to goods and services. It applies more or less to all goods and services that are bought and sold for use or consumption in the European Union.
