During the last four years I have had four large orders from Elecraft
and do not recall paying any Duty. I have paid VAT on all orders 17.5%
and noticed that if I pay by PayPal the exchange rate USD/GBP is the
best in the money market - recently as high as 1.84USD to 1.0GBP. To
purchase in Euros is not as cost effective as USD plus our VAT. BTW,
Transport time from Elecraft to UK depot is usually four days - UK Depot
to my QTH is 6 to 8 days. ParcelForce Stoke-on-Trent is the depot and
my location is High Peak. I usually mention to Elecraft that a double
box is preferred to reduce transit damage especially if P/Force is involved.
I have every confidence in receiving orders from Elecraft to my door in
every respect.
