Have any of the UK members who have bought BBXs from the US had to pay import tax on them?
If so, how much was it?

I have had to pay upto £80 fuzzy.

The only way to avoid this im afraid is to get the parcel marked as gift and whateaver you do don't insure the box because the tax is mainly based on how much the box is insured 4 im afraid if the box get's trashed there is nothing you can do but insurance is a scam anyway because they make it so difficult to claim, if they can riggle out of it they will plus you would have to send the box back. i have had about 10 boxes from abroad and done it this way and paid no tax most of the boxes arrived fine apart from my wx1, the speaker cones got trashed but luckily i had replacments. good luck with whateaver it is you are hoping to get girl.

Thanks Tim,
That's typical of this greedy ****hole country.

You're welcome amanda the first ever box i received cost the going price of an m90 and i think the tax was about £120 totally crazy but i have only ever been charged twice reasons mentioned above my latest being the 880 no tax and with skippys exelent packing you could have bounced it to the moon and back, the guy is sound in my book .

What realy pisses me off is i can't sell boxes because of the size limatations our ****ty post office has, also they dont offer tracking on airmail as vladi found out.

No wonder so many people are moving abroad, I hate this place.

They would tax you're fart imissions if they could nicolle

Hey Tim, have you ever tried to mail a box using UPS, FedEx, or DHL? I'd bet that they don't have size restrictions.

I would use these companies bobby but they can't find my block of flats never mind wring the doorbell. Thanks for the suggestion though bud.

Say what you want about the U.S., we don't get taxed like Europeans on used goods!
