Hi All

I’m wandering if anyone in UK would like to split the costs of ordering a few bits of stuff from Bens store as there’s a few things you just can’t get over here

I’m looking at small items like picks, Straps, bridges etc

Not sure of the postage and customs costs to UK
Just a thought :+1:

Hi Lee, I bought some small items from Ben a while back the cost of shipping, VAT and handling charges really hike up the price even with discounts.

If you take out insurance you have to pay VAT on top of that

Hi @Archie

Yes it’s a killer and so frustrating all the best stuff is state side

Really want some SS picks :joy:

I used to buy a lot of books & DVDs from the States then US Postage shot up. When Royal Mail was sold off any imports that were subject to VAT had the added Handling Charges about eight quid. Even if the amount of VAT being recovered was only a pound.

I know it’s so costly to import fingers crossed with a good trade deal :+1:

Yes things might improve with Brexit & a change in the US administration - trade deal.

If my UK students get an order together I will do everything I can on my end to make it as affordable as it can be.
