How strange. It's a new seller, and he calls himself Merlin something, which is the name of a famous dog. Well, famous on this forum.

I wonder if Pete bought two.

A traveller may bring in goods worth up to £145 without paying duty or VAT.

Goods sent in by post or other means have a limit of £18.00, not £180.00.

I'm just amazed that our wonderful (code for useless) politicians don't get involved in this. I can see that some markets may be easier to service than others, (because of red tape, corruption, language, volumes, etc), but I cannot see why a country like Britain should have to pay so much more than our wonderful (code for wonderful) cousins in Canada.

I think the lads in Brussels could earn a lot of Brownie points by insisting that importers justify their pricing. They can't of course, at present levels, so prices would come down, making us all happier.

K10D body 470 pounds
Shipping to UK 60 pounds
VAT 91 pounds
Total 611 pounds

I think Chris wins, especially bearing in mind the ease of dealing with problems, and the two year warranty now mandatory under EU law.

Chris,

I suggest you add a signature, and put a link to SRS in it.

No, I was right. Park has them for £149.00.

Not exactly "much" cheaper, but cheaper and safer.

G

Actually, I think I'm wrong.

But SRS has them for £169.00.

G

I've seen it much cheaper than this in the Uk recently. I shall try to find out where.

Incidentally, the duty is likely to be peanuts.

I suspect the worst Jessops staff are in London. In provincial stores they probably retain staff much longer, and longer-standing staff are likely to be more knowledgeable and more dedicated.

G

Incidentally, there is no reason not to mention the shop in question. Provided what you say is true, it cannot be libel, and there is nothing they can do about it.
