Carbon Joe UK order - group buy

[Angelo Amato]

Joe asked me to post the question - who in the UK (only) wants what and would they be happy with one point of contact in the UK to deal with Joe, receive moneis from UK participaters, send money to Joe, receive goods and distribute as necessary/conveinent in the UK. Please post here so we can see who wants what and we could/will save a small fortune in shipping costs from US, as in my experiece it can screw you up !

I'd nominate Bren if he's up for it - he's known by all on the forums, or I'd be happy to deal with it also.

Thanks,

Angelo

I've already ordered stuff from Joe Angelo a number of times, Bren and I are due to finalise an order so I'd be up for it too. Everyone can pay Joe direclty through paypal and it's all good!

Just one thing though...... customs excess expect a wacking increase! I did and in bulk it's difficult to say it's a gift less than $32 in value!!!


So small orders may just be better.

I hear yer vyper, I know - i got stung heavily for import tax on some CF goodies I bought for my other car, plus the shipping, doubled the cost of the goods.

Hi, Good idea

I want to make an order, which is quite large, ready to order now.

Let me know when you want the order.

[bren]

in theory its good, but like vyper says, i dont wanna get stung by customs due to the sheer size of the order..

i still havent heard from joe when my parts will be ready though..? im waiting on a roof spoiler and indicator tops that as far as im aware, still havent been put into production yet.. i dont wanna hold you guys up, so if your bits are in stock, go for it....

Agreed, my large order about 4 months ago (firewall, dash parts etc) cost me $49 carriage and £50 customs excess.

As I've only got small bits to get the "gift" route is probably better for me.

Unless I order some good running boards to replace my CSP ones!

I'm wanting some valve covers with breather outlets, when the design has been sorted out

[alfiebug]

Sorry .... I'm skint at the mo but I want running boards and a 1303 dash between now and christmas ......and whats that I hear about a roof spoiler Mr Rayment? Could be a little interested in one of those bad boy things myself!

........I too want the RHD '03 dash strip. Alfie, maybe we could order together? same packaging must be cheaper

Where abouts are you Mr MattKab...My mum lives in Wallasey and my sister in Chester - I could probably pick up from you if you are near(ish). Can't for a month or so - funds!!

[Andy]

So what are we gaining from doing a joint buy??? Are we saving anything?

I need running boards, headlamp rings, sill covers and 1303 dash cover.

May be better if we all split the parts up and get Joe to put ribbons on them with "Merry Xmas" just to confuse customs and declare it as a gift.

Hey there, just noticed this thread.

I will be after the following:

Headlamp rings (single bolt upright ones),
RHD 1303 dashboard bits,
running boards,
firewall kit,
K&N top and bottoms (pair as I have 2 K&N's),

erm, sure there's some other bits n bobs....

Cheers for now,
Sam C

Sam: If you read the thread again you'll see that large orders will cost the earth due to customs. As suggested Pay Joe via Paypal and take delivery yourself, that way the person that orders pays the correct excess.

Andy: Nice idea buddy however "gift" parcels are upto and including $32 dollars in value, (when you order from Amazon.com now you realise why they ask if the cd is a GIFT! )I don't think you'd get away with all your stuff you want as a gift? :silly: (even if it did have bows on!!)

Bren & I spoke briefly on it last night at Rayleigh Weir meet, the upshot is customs and excise will charge!

Makes no real odds either way. Oh yeah and they charge excess on your shipping costs too! Which aren't even the product you ordered! You get charged on your postal and shipping charges!

You pays your money you takes your choice, I've done my big ordering with Joe earlier this year so I wont be coming in on a joint order of any size as it'll cost to much.

Anyway whatever you guys do is cool.

I'm in Warrington.

Anyone going to New Brighton Rock this Sunday?

Maybe Joe could bring the CF over as gifts, with nothing to declare?

So, the gamble is- Do we distcounted order one large box to one address and risk a hefty duty. Or order individually and pay the duty, and if we don't.
