Jake.Lowther Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Anyone bought Zacks louvers from the U.S. and how much did it cost in total including postage and import fees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Can't help with specifics, but in general if you add 25% to the total cost including shipping you won't be far off at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Bizarrely it used to work out quite nicely that you just turn the dollars into pounds and it was the cost to import, until the currency crash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's just trying to scare people off to keep his imported louvers unique in the U.K. Not trying to be a dick the math just don't add up. The V2 is £360 even if shipping was £240 and import tax was £200 which is way above the 20% it still doesn't add up. (That's £800 for the none math savvy folk out there) If someone thinks I've missed something please correct me, the whole reason I made this thread was because I had heard similar rumours of it costing over a grand but I just can't wrap my head around it. I'm on Zacks waiting list so I'll let you all know when I find out more. Edited October 23, 2017 by Jake.Lowther Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taybo Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 All I can tell you is I bought one 2nd hand in the UK for £500. The seller told me it cost him a lot more than that to import! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
