Title: PCB Postage to the UK
Post by: T1bbles on May 01, 2010, 11:20:43 PM
Hey Brian,

I was just wondering if you take PCB orders from the UK? And also how the postage would work? Would you be able to send it in a small padded envelope therefor avoiding customs and customs fees >:( (hate customs fees, they're racist if nothing else) or do you have to send things like that through special channels, I really don't know. Last time I bought something from the US it was a 7-string Ibanez and I was only 14, all I remember was getting a letter through with my name on it saying that I couldn't have my guitar until I paid customs £60 tax and £15 for 'handling'! So I'm naturally wary :D

Thanks for any sense you can make of the above,

Martin D.

Martin,

Shipping to the UK is generally $3 per order. It can go up to $4 for 10+ boards. I ship it in a padded envelope. I do my best to ensure that any taxes due are the absolute minimum.
