mag44uk Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Haven't used them for a couple of years and it appears that free shipping is now over 1000 euro And shipping is actually 35 euro on top to cover any hazmat components. Does any one local to Reading/Farnham/Bisley want to share an order? I plan on getting a load of 410 cases/wads and 12g slug cases and slugs.

sitsinhedges Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Siarm stopped being viable some time ago. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Think you'll find overall John at FES is cheaper for those components anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mag44uk Posted July 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Will abandon that idea. FES is about the same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are serious about doing business across Europe, you might ask them to provide an English translation across the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted July 23, 2018 Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 FES are good on prices i think he is genuine too wants to make money without being too greedy. Big cartridge firms over here could help the reloader far more than they do, but they would rather ensure they get every last penny to themselves and even when they will sell components which is rare they want the earth for them. Only cartridge firm in the uk still prepared to try and be fair on component prices is Proper cartridges George young, i refuse to give any other British cartridge firm any of my money for ammo futile perhaps but its all i can do to show my disrespect for the line Gamebore Hull Express etc take with the reloader.

pinfireman Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 I think someone blurted out online that SIARM were shipping primed cases without Hazmat.....that sent the free shipping down the toilet!

I came back recently from the USA, and having visited Cabelas, Bass Pro and Scheels, I can assure you that this is the case! EU rip off! Pity SIARM are in Sardinia! I know a trucker who visits Northern Italy once every 6 weeks....If I can get a contact on the mainland, I am sure my guy would pick stuff up (But NO Hazmat stuff) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK had a place in the world before membership and can manage outside EU. I wish Westminster would just exit now and get on with building new trade deals.

Look at Sterling/dollar and Sterling/Euro charts for last ten years and it will give you an indication why. Although the picture for Sterling/Euro is not so clear as for 2015 up until the Referendum it was trading at a decent level, but those who are thinking ten years plus ago will remember the initial Sterling / Euro rates of almost 1:2 in Sterling’s favour and hence it made anything here look cheaper than our European counterparts.

My visit to the USA, 2008, I got 1.96 dollars to the pound. And that was tourist rate. What you fail to mention is that, in many of the countries where prices are high, it,s often due to that countries tax regime! And NOT the exchange rate! We pay 20% VAT, an EU tax! Once gone, that could be cut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
