Michael Hardman Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I want to buy a set of hubs for my bmx and im tempted to buy direct as its only $364 for a set wereas over here its about the samein pounds. Is there the chance that customs are gonna get me unlike with Aspire and King where Ive nver been cayght. Im very tempted as its so much cheaper surely customs cant be that much more.

zoojames Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 First off, use spell check on your posts PLEASE thats why it's there! Give it a go and ask them if you ring/email them! If they do tell us so I can buy one too ^_^" Cheers mate :P James (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twilite Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 If customs do decide to tax you on them it'll be 22.5% on top of the cost I believe? That will still leave then cheaper than if you got them from here would it not? It's probably going to be pot luck; Aspire do it by sending the invoice by email and putting "Bike bearings, $6" or something on the paperwork. Or they did when I ordered my headset from them. That's obviously not allowed, and I don't think Profile will be up for that. May be worth a try though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hardman Posted May 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Problem sorted now, I have made a purchase but not from the US as it was too much hassle. Spelling ok in this post? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waynio Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 just think if a warranty problem came around? the uk have no intention of sorting it and they shouldnt have to. JUST like the chris king scenario. Waynio........................ you have probably bought some from uk which is a good move and is deffinatly going to make your life easier if you ever have to make a warranty claim.

Backgren Posted May 15, 2005 Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 I ordered my hub directly from them in the USA, it worked fine except that I had to pay tax for it, so i did not save any money at all (Y) Have you ordered King stuff directly from them without the tax/custom?

Michael Hardman Posted May 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2005 I think most people know where I order my Kng stuff from anyway never had a problem with that. On the Profile note yes I bought from UK for sources unknown just awaiting the goods now. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
