    anybody had any problems with customs or import tax when ordering from ehobby? also would you see them as a recomended seller?
    Im looking for one of those tokyo marui python gas revolvers for my lil bro and im just wondering if i'll be hit for tax etc, and another thing, do they ship them with the red tips on them?

    yeah but i think their 40ish quid more expencive than ehobby, and that before postage,., thats why i was wondering about the tax,

    ehobbyasia is a good seller

    however taxes may occur quite randomly, regardless of who is the seller (no taxes if seller is within the EU)

    as a matter of fact when i received my chassis replica from tw (i was still in ireland at that time) it was tagged as "gift" by the guy who sent it to me, and i still had to pay around 60 euro tax to collect it (which is funny, they have no idea how much worth the damn thing was :p)

    Not in stock at the moment, coming in less than 10 days. :)

    You'd save on postage and avoid the possible tax. I think i might get one myself sometime, lovely looking gun...

    was wondering if airsofteire were going to the RDS so i could see one but i take it they wont arrive in time. Im not really in to them to be honest but they would make a nice show piece, im getting it for my younger bro, its either that or he stings me for a sniper rifle.,lol

    anyone know the tax rate on something costing 80ish quid?
    cheers people.,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 306 ✭✭davvowl


    forgot exact the tax rate, should be around 20 %


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    that'd still work out pretty cheap huh., does anyone on here have one? havent seen any reviews on them.,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭AirsoftEire.com


    We can't make it i'm afraid, we launched our business too close to the TFBB show.

    The tax would be based on the cost price $99.99, plus the cost of delivery, around $25.

    So the tax would be 21% of $124.99, plus duty charge of anywhere between 2.5% to 3.5%, plus an administration charge.

    I'd recommend gunsnguys.com very cheap even after postage and very fast.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 769 ✭✭✭AirsoftEire.com


    No problem. :)
    Shipping may be more from them, i only ordered one thing from them before, believe it was 2 MP5 mags and shipping was $15.

    Shipping would be €8.25 from us. We'll announce when our order arrives.
    Thanks

    Just to let you know the 6" on Gn'G is €60. Thats cheaper that ehobby, and since it's only small I'd say postage is cheap.

    Yeah me too lol some selection they have


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    yeah looks like they have good stuff, havent been on there before., the site could do with being a little earier to use though huh.,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    Yeah it's a bit awkward, but then i'm half asleep dreaming about getting a FAMAS lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 306 ✭✭davvowl


    if you really want a famas i suggest you wait for G&G to release theirs.
    not saying the marui one is bad (its not !) but its a 10 years old design and the plastic parts make quite alot of noise
