i have heard of one forum member ( found through a google search) who had to pay £20 customs on a WNW kit, any idea why, or has anyone else had this problem?

I got stung for an extra £14.XX and a 2 week wait to get mine from Parcelforce


Keith

Yep £14 customs charge and a two week wait for parcel force then a £8 charge from parcel force for handling

ouch!! on top of dishing out 40-50 for a kit which i usually don't do, this is painful. i'll probably give it a miss then. thanks guys!

Hi James
I got stung £17 odd for my LVG and £15 odd on my Hisso,its a random thing so the postie told me If I remember rightly its VAT plus a tenner parcelforce handling fee(ie the letter they send you to tell you theres a fee to pay rather like a letter from the bank!!!)
I didd'nt have to wait to collect mine,as soon as I got the letter I went and got them(about 12 days from date of order)
Wingnuts do ship very quickly

But my Biff landed in stelth mode with no fees to pay
Dont be put off about buying one ,they are superb kits,but pot luck on the customs!!!!,I'm 2,for 3 against at the moment ,but that wont stop me!!!!

Thanks Andy, i think i'll pick one up next month, put a little extra money back, i have already surpassed my model limit for this month!! i think it has been th emost i ahve ever bought wihtout revieving one yet, not a big number,
i ahve 2 eduars kites coming, a EV and a Camel profipack,
and 2 Special hobby kits, a poripalikov i-15 ( big spelling mistake) and a heinkel

i do really wanna get one of these though.
just some small info, what would you say the easier to build is, i was thinking of th eSE5a, but the the J1 looks fantastic and a little easier
cheers
James

Hi James
I've not got the J1 but is does look an easier build as it has no rigging!!!,there are a couple of J1 builds on here as well as Hissos

Hello,

You guys in the U.K. are still quite lucky, over here in Holland we have an extra charge of €35,-! I am trying to find out what charges would be in Germany. I do not live that far away from the border (Arnhem) and I know some people who live there.

Cheers, Nico
