Supporters jcheeseright Posted April 24, 2014 Supporters Posted April 24, 2014 there's import duty as well, can be as much as 5% depending on what you're importing and what HMRC decide to classify it as, then you're looking at either £8 or £13 parcelfarce handling fee on top of that. Airsoft_Mr B 1
Guest PT247 Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 £13 Parcel Force handling fee, 20% VAT then import duty. Parcel Force will always charge you if you have to pay one or both of the other charges, VAT is only if the VAT is higher than £9 and import duty iirc is on items over £135. This was from top of my head so I may be slightly muddled
armysurplusandtoys Posted April 26, 2014 Author Posted April 26, 2014 I do understand that its a huge saving i just wish it was cheaper for retailers so we can compete with those overseas. Airsoft_Mr B 1

In this instance had the RM4 been in stock in the UK and was hitting 350fps out the box (like mine was after the spring had bed in) rather than the 325fps ish out the box UK guns seem to be I would have considered buying in the UK
armysurplusandtoys Posted April 27, 2014 Author Posted April 27, 2014 its definatly worth it if you want it fore the UK shops and even if you do get to save some money it means an extra few games this year with the savings too Airsoft_Mr B 1
