Well after what seemed like an eternity and thoughts of “ it would never come “

Woke up to a GOLDEN TICKET. And I’m not surprised you guys in the USA didn’t hear the whooping.

Thanks Dan and team for keeping your promise.

Congratulations!!! Now comes the hardest part of the wait

steve_grain · February 21, 2018, 9:01am

I’ve waited since ordering on day 1… 30 months so the next few weeks will be a breeze.

That’s great news! How much are you betting customs will charge you?

It’s not that we didn’t hear it, we just couldn’t figure out what it was. All that echoing across the ocean, the closest I could guess was “really happy humpback whale sounds”

steve_grain · February 21, 2018, 2:19pm

I think £400-£500 with vat at 20% on £2000.
Plus UPS handling charge

espen_svebak · February 21, 2018, 2:50pm

Yay! Congrats Did you order the pro or basic?

Jules · February 21, 2018, 2:54pm

steve_grain · February 21, 2018, 3:03pm

Ordered Basic .

I’ll be really interested to see how long it takes and what condition it arrives in.

steve_grain · February 21, 2018, 5:09pm

Don’t worry …watch this space. … I’ll let you know.

Congratulations!

darkdesign · February 22, 2018, 8:45am

Thanks for the info. Curious on what it will be exact. I’m expecting a €1000+ charge for the pro model myself…

nathan_burley · February 23, 2018, 1:21pm

I agree with £400-500 in VAT and duty but I’m curious, how you’re getting £2000. Are you just very mush roughing it out there?

I make my basic $2473 (inc shipping) as £1768 at today’s rate (like £300 more than I actually paid for it ). Assuming a 2.5% duty - which I think goes on before VAT would give me 17681.025 = 1812.201.2 = 2174.64

So, £407 in VAT and duty. If that’s correct, I’ll be happy with that.
