Hey guys… so after a looooooonnnnnnggggggggg wait my GF finally arrived to Lisbon, Portugal last week. I am so glad I purchased it while it was on discount you wouldn’t believe how much I paid of customs(600euros about 740 dollars).
So anyway… it is here and I’ve done a couple of tests on it and I hope you like them.
well that depends on the customs officer you get. My friend got some sunglasses frame sent to him as an actual gift and it was taxed. Some other friends got car parts bought out of ebay and they were not. its a game of luck I guess… But mine is here now so its cutting and engraving from now on
Struth! I really hope you had loads of designs banked. I’ve had mine over two weeks now and I’m nowhere close to covering that kind of ground - too busy designing stuff to forge lol. Good work!
Please excuse me for butting in - I’m in England and asked Glowforge if I could have it shipped to our US office in Indiana so they could forward it to me. That would have saved a lot of the shipping costs but Glowforge weren’t keen, if a problem occured they might not have been able to help. I stuck with the direct shipping. Our import duty here is expensive too, £667 (€770 or $950 US).
Yikes! That is high! I have a small internet business partially based in Europe but excluded sales to European countries because I would have had to submit monthly reports to each country in the EU. Paperwork is not my forte!
