Eagletac dealer in UK or EU?

[Kamakazikev24]

Can anyone tell me if there is a dealer in this part of the world?
Thanks, Kam.

I got mine from the Eagletac-Store, took 3 weeks until I got them yesterday, but no problem.

However, it could be, that they are soon available at an online shop in Austria, at this moment, it's not known yet!

By the way, standard shipping from EagleTac-Store is free...

Problem with these stores is although they deliver we get slapped about with customs and handling fees.

 

[Zatoichi]

There shouldn't be any customs charges from US to UK on those, unless you're ordering a few together. The limit at which you pay customs duty went up to £105 on 1st of December.

Thanks foe the link, yeah I had heard of that but it is only for the import tax.
So you still have to pay VAT and therefore also a 'handling fee' from either the post office or parcel force.

I have not ordered since this change but before, sometimes you would end up paying 100% what the item costs in these 'fee's'

Thanks for that, don't know if I will use them though as there about £65!
For that price I think I would pick up a Dereelight C1H V4.

Can these Eagletacs be brought direct from China? Thay maybe cheaper to the UK.

I'm not sure what you mean. The only handling fees I've ever had to pay have been associated with import tax. Items below £105 should have no extra charges at all. Over the last year I've bought 30 - 40 items from the US, HK and Singapore under the old limit of £18, and never been charged a penny.

 

[Kamakazikev24]

Well if your 30-40 items were under £18 then you won't have been charged!
And if you read the BBC report that you placed a link for you will see that items over £18 still get charged VAT.
And then when you get charged that the postal service, either parcelforce or the postoffice will, to make you pay, hold the item until you pay.
And for this service they charge you a handling fee!
So ok we have NO import tax under £105 which Is great BUT anything over £18 can still be held until you pay VAT and the awfull 'handling charge'
Hope that helps!

I ordered an Eagletac P10A2 one Sunday evening, had an email confirming shipment on Monday, received it on Friday. I didn't have to pay any extra charges.

Btw - its a great flashlight!

exactly right, and its usually the handling fee that comes to more than the other charges !!

 

[Zatoichi]

I stand corrected.

 

[jabbaj]

Thought the threshold was still £18 but with the VAT (and so handling) there are still alot of charges potentially.
Also the british pound is very weak atm

mrm65 - was the package correctly declared by eagletac-store with true item value on it?
If declared correctly perhaps flashlights are a zeroVAT item... I haven't checked. If no VAT to be paid then should be no handling fee either which is good news.

 

[Zatoichi]

I couldn't find a catagory that used the words flashlight or torch. The nearest I could find that might include them was around 3.5%. I doubt the tax will be much to worry about, but the handling will probably be over £10. IIRC the last time I had a customs charge was on a £30 watch, the tax was about £2 - £3 and the handling charge was £11.

I've just ordered one anyway. If you want it enough, you pay. :sigh:

I think so, can't remember though.

I placed an order at the Eagletac store in the US. I will post here to let you know if I got charged.
