Redgum Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Nice scope, who did you buy it from, was it easy and did you have to pay custom duty/tax this end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmie Posted August 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I got it from a bloke on eBay he's in the states and he's an official leupold dealer and as he said "I can get any leupold scope you want" I paid $699 = £432 and £73 tax this end it took 2 weeks door to door. The scope I got is over £850 over here so as you can see there's a MASSIVE saving to be had !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wymberley Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi, Guys. Have the same model. If you jump on board and are looking to save some extra accessory dosh, I have found the sun shade (4") beneficial particularly when lamping - if you go for the lens covers, the front one also fits on the shade.

The scope I got is over £850 over here so as you can see there's a MASSIVE saving to be had !!! Hi there - you got yourself a really nice scope there! Could I ask how you paid the duty because I have taken delivery of several items from America and I currently have another order in for some custom parts for my Benelli but I have not paid any duty as far as I am aware the price I paid was what was advertised - or am I to expect a letter from the inland revenue demanding some dosh. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimmie Posted August 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 No you can either ring up and pay over the phone or wait till you get a bill through the post. As soon as you have paid either way they will deliver the items Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The goods have to be worth a certain value before you have to pay import duty on them. I think it used to be £27 but i'm pretty sure that limit was upped last year or the year before No you can either ring up and pay over the phone or wait till you get a bill through the post. As soon as you have paid either way they will deliver the items And you can pay it direct at the sorting/holding depot and pick it up yourself, which is quite often quicker! Thanks for the PM btw Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the PM btw Mark Cheers that explains my query - I have ordered, paid for and received two batches of items from Ebay.Com with no complications whatsoever, granted one batch was under US20 and the second batch was around US50 but I am wondering about the US200 order which I have just placed and paid for - I reckon this will be the one that gets held by customs, nevermind still cheaper than rip-off Britain - thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
