New Tacx Genius T2020 Multiplayer ordered...

[Edge705]

Just over a grand. Expensive I know, but worth it in the long run if it keeps my fitness up through the crappy weather. I'd have been happier if it was delivered before Christmas, but alas it wasn't to be (even though I ordered it on the 10th Dec!)

Crikey SWMBO will never sign that off so its back to the dreaming board for me keep us updated I'd be interested to know what stuff you can do with it

Just noticed these trainers on http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a51894/t2020-vr-trainer-genius.html?lg=en

I reckon the euro is in our favour and the time of year, they are only £602 which looks like a good discount. Has anyone bought from bike-discount.de ? Would you recommend them ?

Great price, but don't forget, you'll get pinged for Import Duty!

 

[Arsen Gere]

I'm not sure there is a charge for import.

Excise Duty allowances

Travellers bringing excise goods into the UK from another EU Member State for their own use do not have to pay UK Excise Duty, provided that the goods were bought duty paid in the other Member State, for example from a supermarket or cash and carry.

Import VAT

VAT is a tax normally charged on the supply of goods (and services) made by a VAT - registered business in the UK. For goods brought in or sent to the UK from the EU there's no extra VAT to pay

From : http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/customs/tax-and-duty.htm

Has anyone else bought stuff from EU countries ? Did you get charged ?

 

[cloggsy]

That must be an ex-vat price then?

If not, that'll be 40% cheaper than I bought mine for...

 

[Arsen Gere]

Price includes VAT at 19% so I guess I could get a 1% difference charge, shipping 6 euros.
I'm still looking for a catch.

 

[Arsen Gere]

Well I took the plunge and bought one. The checkout price was the same as the screen price. No idea how long it will take to get here. I'll post more info when it comes regarding customs and charges. I am expecting a German plug on this but I can fit a UK plug.

So long as you have no issues you are ok, If you do have any problems though you will probably have to return the unit to Germany as it sounds like the UK service center/ distributer would offer no support.

Thanks for the info. It looks like I get the 2 year guarantee by German law with the hassle of sending stuff back to Germany if it goes wrong.
