Fullcartuning thoughts?


Kurtvalentino

Recommended Posts

Lads, I am looking to place a decent size order from FULLCARTUNING, I am looking for any people’s thoughts on the compony especially delivery as I know there in the Netherlands and being in the uk how was the shipping costs, time and condition of parts when arrived. Any information you have on the compony would be appreciated. Dont want to spend thousands to then have a thousand to get it through customs once it gets here if you get me. Cheers felllas.

Any orders from Europe over £150 will need taxes and duties paid on arrival, some companies registered for IOSS allow these to be collected at the checkout but this only applies for order less than £150. 

So for the size order you're trying to place, take into account you will be paying 20% VAT on arrival and a 3-5% duty plus any customs broker fees from the courier. 

 

The joys of Brexit.... at least the fish are finally happy.... oh wait that flopped too :lol:

 

Oh to be back in the days where shipping to Europe was simply click a button, print the label and off it goes. Now at least an hour of my day consists of filling out customs forms, chasing up customers to pay the taxes locally (since the couriers 'can't contact them'). Even going to the post office, I'm stood there for 20 minutes filling in forms with a pen. Anyway, I'm ranting, take into account the above when placing your order from anywhere outside of the UK.

Well it wouldn't be sorted as anyone who stocks the items would have the import duties built in to their prices really. You will still have to pay them 😆

 

Debatable, buying in bulk brings down the shipping price per item, depending on the brand we will likely get some sort of discount as well. Plus you get the added benefit of ordering from a UK LTD company, easy to return stuff, file warranty claims, get immediate support which for on order that size are definitely things which should be taken into account. 
 

Worth noting too, it's highly unlikely the products he's looking at are actually made in Europe, therefore they'll already have some premiums on top of the actual cost price from USA, Japan, China etc. 

 

Anyway, we'll do our best to beat the prices on whatever he sends over, might work out or it might not but we can only try and help  :thumbs:

I’d love to know what it is you want to buy, cos a quick browse of their website looks like they stock 95% generic branded stuff you must be able to get from a uk supplier. 

 

That crossed my mind, I was expecting something worth the effort of importing... body panels made from unicorn fur or something

No, it’s half the price. Same exact bumper for example is 650 on tarmac but 300 on there’s so +20% +courier fee etc still comes in over 200 cheaper. And when I’m doing a complete rebuild of a car cost matters. 

Okay, that makes more sense now.

Hire a van and take a trip on a ferry?

And that is a bloody good idea tbh, however you still have to pay all the associated costs cos you’ve still bought from the EU. Assuming you get rumbled at the port of course…

You could always bolt the bits to the van for the trip through customs 😂
