Bikes on its way

[steveindenmark]

Well my bikes on its way to Hungary for the start of the Transcontinental Race.

Unfortunately the start is in Bulgaria. But that does not appear to matter to the shipping company.

I thought I had made it clear enough.

By coincidence so are my trainers from the USA. I've just received this message.

Why are you having trainers delivered to Hungary?

Why are you having trainers delivered to Hungary?

To avoid import duty. It's all to do with 'Brext' and our trade with the USA.

I'm waiting for some Smart car parts to arrive from China. The wonders of international trade, eh?

They have some very clever people in China so you should get some very smart smart car parts.
Next time I talk to Mr Trump I will have to tell him you are trading with red China.

 

[Drago]

Best not, he'll slap some punitive tariffs on my house!

Mr Trump knows I'm an ardent admirer of his work crushing communist North Korea, and smooching with porn stars.

If Brexit does go ahead, i guess we can kiss goodbye to that loophole of having stuff posted to us via Europe.
And i dont believe for a minute that our Gov will end VAT & import taxes from America and Asia.

It's easy to sidestep import tariffs without the tiresome messing about having it sent via another EU country.

I've noticed HMCE are getting more hot on it lately and cracking down on many of the ways sellers use.

I've bought & had parts arrive from China quicker than parts ordered at the same time from the UK! How they make money on some of the postal rates is beyond me.

Don't worry it's highly unlikely.Postmen usually get attacked by dogs.

Please try to keep up at the back, he's sending one he already owns to Bulgaria via Hungary so he can then ride it back
