SteveU30 1011 Posted April 12, 2014 And here it is, I'm already thinking of selling it though as I got stung by customs so it's ended up not being the bargain it first appeared to be (although still way cheaper than anywhere else). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mr crispy 2293 Posted April 12, 2014 And here it is, I'm already thinking of selling it though as I got stung by customs so it's ended up not being the bargain it first appeared to be (although still way cheaper than anywhere else). Is it just me or does anyone else seem to get hit for customs charges more if you have to go and collect the items in person? It's almost as though the average postie can't be bothered with it but the jobs worth in the depot is on commission! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted April 12, 2014 just curious, any uk TC members, on average how time your purchases from overseas have got nailed by Customs? I would guess most, like 80%, get through without additional levies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiya1/10 382 Posted April 12, 2014 "Damper Oil Air Remover (Super Long)" Or shock pump in non tamiya San speak. Been wanting one of these for a while. Be hand even as a shock stand even if not using the pump aspect. Can also double as a tool holder Now that you have one. is it a good investment? Do you notice the difference ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would guess most, like 80%, get through without additional levies. Yes when coming from the Far East about 80% make it through without charges but it seems when coming from the USA I'd say it's about 80-90% get caught! Anyone else get that?

I would guess most, like 80%, get through without additional levies. I reckon about 95% of mine escape charges, but that includes small orders for part(s) some of which are under the threshold for charges anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveU30 1011 Posted April 12, 2014 I'm kicking myself really as I usually get stuff sent to my work not home and I've never ever been hit by customs when stuff goes to my work. I have a feeling that customs are more likely to pick on something if the address is a residential one but it could just be my mind doing overtime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cplus 94 Posted April 13, 2014 Now that you have one. is it a good investment? Do you notice the difference ? It is much more thorough. You'd need to wait 24hrs to get out what it does in 5-10min I think. Also is a handy stand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fruitfly01 596 Posted April 14, 2014 Some Manta Ray wheels and a tube of ceramic grease. At least I think it's ceramic grease. Seems to have changed a bit since I last bought some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

berman 5315 Posted April 15, 2014 Another addition to the fleet. Going to make a K100 out of this. Many thanks again to STELLAMODELS. A pristine kit in a box that could only have been wrapped by little tamiya angels. Look at the packaging.. LOOK.. AT.. IT.. Everything is sectioned with polystyrene, and bubble wrap, hot glued with cardboard reinforcements (Even the outside corners have extra card! And every parts bag is lovingly wrapped in bubblewrap inside! I feel like royalty whenever I buy from Stella! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
