    Are orders from the much-revered chrisguitars.com via airmail subject to customs once they hit Irish shores?

    doctorJ say's you pay roughly what the price is in dollars after customs tax

    this may of change a small bit since the dollar is weaker at the moment

    Still works out cheaper. The guitar I bought is $899. So far it has cost me €800 but it hasn't come through customs yet.

    However, that's still about half what it would cost here :D


    PS - Pistol Pete, that was just nasty but very funny. Respect!!! ;)

    Not at first, but then I was thinking to myself "hmm... Maybe chris will have another, better Mesa amp going cheap another time in the future? Maybe even a Mark IV?"

    Let me assure you that all Gentlemen's agreements shall be null and void if he's selling a Mark IV ;)

    I wouldn't really expect anything less, the Mark IV is easily the best amp I've ever heard, bar none. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who holds such a view either.

    i asked the guy chris to mark the value of what i got from him way down and he did no questions asked.. saved me a hundred euro or so as i can to pay arse all duty. nice guy. pity about his taste in web banners.

    does ordering from the UK incur the wraths of customs?

    Ordering from within Europe means no import or VAT.
