This system looks really good , is it safe to order from this guy, and would you get caught for duty on it ?

tallaghtdave

i dont know bout customs man.
il let you know when my mate gets it. if he does get it.lol

BrendanD

Thanks

woody

Now that is nice




£139.00 Item
£ 24.00 Postage
£ 9.00 Insurance which is a requirement

Around €248.10 after conversion
Then add 21% VAT + DHL Admin fee say €20.00

Would roughly work out @ €320...

If it is by DHL you will get hit for the VAT and they are thieving flithy pigs DHL that is they will also charge you an Admin fee, which I found out to my determint :mad: F*cking Pieces of Sh!te

The guys has almost 2500 feedback so should be an OK seller.
Let us know when your mate received his.
And give us a review too, :-D

i got in touch with a few buyers from this guy and all had praise . hopfully we get this in tomorrow or friday he emailed us to say 5 dax max anywhere in the world was his slowest post. not bad ive waited for weeks from boggy sellers in the past.

woody

Well if there is no duty as I have mentioned it is a great deal and I will get one myself after you do us a review

I've bought tons of stuff on ebay from China and HK specifically, and never had a problem. Generally faster shipping than EU, and almost all have tracking numbers. Rarely gets stopped by customs.

mcgovern

Yes, please let us know when it arrives and if he was caught for customs.

tallaghtdave

mate got it in the post just in the last hour. he is giving it the once over .
multi region out of the box and ill get the other details later when i see him.
he says hes very happy indeed with picture off it and the sound volume is not like those cheap ones ie echo type sound off them
so far so good.

woody

If you can get a few pics of it in action twould be great

mcgovern

Also, if you dont mind, can you ask him how much he ended up paying, i.e. did he get stung for VAT etc?

tallaghtdave

166euro ALL IN TO HIS DOOR ,no customs problems

Thats very tempting...I take it he had a paypal code or something or managed to win a cheap auction for it since the buy-it-now option works out around €250

tallaghtdave

think so. but wait THERES MORE.
dhl letter arrives this morning 27.70 due on item no........etc etc
and a forum of payment credit card etc ...postal order .
well to be honest it aint that bad but it could of been a lot worse.
just to warn you guys.
200 all in and yes he used some codes r sumtin

woody

BrendanD

Its a standard size, and the dimensions are given on the listing.

Darando

Any word on how things are going with the unit? i.e any problems setting it up, live up to expectation?
