Music123.com Import Tax

Hey,
Can anyone tell me if I put " Unsolicated Goods) before my delivery address will I still get charged import tax? In case it matters I'm getting 2 pedals delivered ( A Crybaby and an Ibanez TS7. And if it dosen't stop them from charging me the tax how much is it likely to be?

No idea, But if its from Music123.com (as the name suggests) cancel your odrer before you lose your money!

Yeah in fact I'd say your pedals are on there way to some red neck in Mississippi. There sure gonna like your pedals

You'll be paying tax for sure, UPS would have to declare it and then invoice you for the duty...

... provided Music123 don't f*ck up your order as they have mine. They've shipped my bass to someone in Alabama. Now I'm down €1000 and the thought of paying import duty is a nice one. I've been trying to get some answers out of them all weekend. Avoid Music 123 like you'd avoid the plague. They suck big time!

can anyone give me an idea of how much the bolloxing thing is going to cost me? It's coming to here alright ( or so that UPS site thingy says ) The whole thing cost me $150 Dollars or something like that

Tax is 21% and Import Duty is 4%. The shipping charges get taxed as well. You can try and find a way to avoid the tax, but it's illegal. Any significant looking box is likely to be inspected. And the companies involved in shipping it aren't going to risk trouble on your account.

Same here, I got a guitar for 450 and didn't get charged any duty or VAT, its a hit and miss thing, some people get charged, some don't..........don't know why.
