Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Hi

    If you buy a new set of alloys in the UK and get them sent by post or courier will you have to pay extra to get them through customs??

    I didnt and I got mine through Wheelbase.co.uk

    They came direct on a truck right to Limerick and the Limerick company shipped them to me.

    AFAIK, they did not sit in a warehouse anywhere other than the UK and Limerick so customs would not get their beady eyes on them.

    Customs Duties & Taxes do not apply for products bought within the EU

    nowuckenfurries is correct, as long as UK VAT has been paid then customs won't want anything.

    I'm just curious, but what kind of alloys did you get? I clicked on http://www.wheelbase.co.uk/ and it was a bike store.

    Sorry for going off topic
