MWR Group Buy?

brettfield999 · August 30, 2016, 18:24

Has anyone ever thought about having MWR group buy? Maybe not in the same way as the normal group buys but a few of us go in on a order once a quarter or twice a year so that we can share the shipping and import tax?

I was just talking to an American relative about what options there are to shift things this way.
Unfortunately short of stuffing it in a suitcase and flying, and hoping for the best at the customs desk, it's an unfortunate case of paying up.

It wouldn't need to be a group buy of one item per se.
But a crate/big box full of stuff for people in the UK sent to one central address may indeed save shipping.

It won't save on duty and tax though. So, you have to weigh up how much you're saving in shipping and see if it's worth it

Saving on postage will make a small change in duty as your not paying all the postage. It's a great idea, but working out the duty will be a big arse of a job.

I hear you. It just seems criminal how much is charged for postage on small items.

I paid $60 tax / postage on some $50 injector clips so I definitely see how this would be a good idea s:)

Don't want to promote a certain shop but there's a firm in the netherlands (rideround.nl) that supplies goods that they import from the U.S and from Monkeywrench in particular. I bought a couple of items for my engine rebuild from them and most of the articles are reasonably priced given the import taxes.

Postage from MWR is absolutely horrendous.

Guys do seem pretty helpful there as well - just be sure to order items in time as you might have to wait a little. Ah, and my Google Chrome browser does the automatic translation for this website, made things a little easier for me s:wink: :wink: s:wink:
