steering wheel

My colleague is looking to buy a steering wheel for her son to use with his Switch. The one she's looking at is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Racing-Degree-Universal-Steering-Nintendo/dp/B07XK6F14F/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=steering+wheel+with+pedals+nintendo+switch&qid=1634037185&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOFdYQVRXUFlNNlI5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODYxMzc3MkNPSjBFV0EyU1I2RyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjM0MzA4MTNRVlA0VEtGVUswNCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

Anyone have this or used it? Her son is 8 and also has Xbox. Would this be subject to Customs coming from UK? It's also on amazon.de so might be a better bet.

Irish Halo

I just added it to my cart and asked Amazon to deliver it to Ireland and it did this calculation:

£89.99 minus 20% UK VAT = £74.99

£74.99 plus 23% Irish Vat = £92.24

Customs duty is only charged on goods with a value over €150 so I checked wth a more expensive item (the OLED Switch) and at that price they added an "Import Fees Deposit" so you pay Amazon the import fees/duty up front so you don't have to pay them when it arrives in Ireland.

This means the price at checkout should be the most they will pay (in this case £92.24).

Thanks. I think it works out a bit cheaper from Germany. I'm not sure it's the best wheel for her needs but it works with Xbox too so that might suit
