i thought that the VAT was 17.5%, not 25% like what was just said!

Do not buy from the USA! shipping charges are really bad . If you in the UK.
I bought goods that cost $68.00 but the total cost was $114

cmoredbest it is a total of roughly 25% tax when you import from the states i phoned them and asked them because i was going to order a pbs.here is an example of what you pay. £ £
Tax
Value of goods say: 100.00
Shipping or postage costs to the UK, say: 15.00
Total value for Import Duty: 115.00
Import Duty payable at say 5% on £115.00: 5.75 5.75
Base value for Value Added Tax (VAT): 120.75
VAT on £120.75 @ 17.5%: 21.13 21.13

sorry its a bit messed up there. dont now what you ordered frantic or where you ordered from but that is expensive shipping.my brother and one of me mates have just received violators of e bay very cheap and shipping only cost 80 dollars.i have also bought of e bay 150 dollars worth of goods and it was only 16 dollars shipping.shipping can vary wildly from company to company if ordering from uk check out the shipping on a few companies as well as looking for the cheapest price for what you want.me and me mates will always order from the states for parts etc,its so much cheaper we will only buy from uk if we cant wait for the parts ie broken parts.

Why is bargainrc on the fraudulent list? Myself and others have bought from him, NIB factory sealed RC's.

gramaha89. what are the sites that are selling the hyper 7s so cheap.

2 guys on ebay, dont remember their names. Then you have Ace Hardware Hobbies and Ultimatehobbies.

cmoredbest try three5models.co.uk or modelsinmotiom.co.uk 360 they say on there sites there is more but these are good companies.i am paying 370 in my loal lhs he said 400 but i mentioned i could get it for 360 on the net,he came down to 370 which i think is good because if i buy from him i dont have to pay for shipping or take a long drive to pick it up.ask them first what they can do it for in your lhs as they will look after you better as well as far as any problems you have.but if they wont come down try one of those sites above good luck.

Man, Europe overcharges in general for so many things...even though i live in the US, i go to Germany once a year to visit my family there, and the r/c stuff is like twice as expensive as it is here! the import costs suck...oh well, i don't have to worry about that... 1/8th scale buggies rock!!!!
