John,
By your own admission, you are not the rightful owner of the said Rotovac, you have RECEIVED it as proceeds of the original crime. Knowing you John, repentance is your only saviour -SO HAND IT BACK!

Again looking at prices of equipment on US site, Makes me  distrust UK suppliers.

In an International Market place I am puzzled why we pay such high prices.


Or why can we not make the machines in UK

[williamx]

I think this country companies are charging to much, for example if you buy a 2 jet wand in the U.S.A you will pay $231.00 which = £141.09, whereas the same wand is sold in this country for £295 + vat which is a whopping £346.62 and over double what America will charge you.

Sadly gone are the days of British manufacturing industry the Governments made sure of that in Taxation be national or local. Just a word of thought a friend owned a precision engineering com who done work for the MOD this was put out for tender who got it the Taiwanese!!!! Ooo I forgot the unions

Once Again I’m on my high horse.

I don’t distrust UK suppliers they need to make a profit the same as you and I.

Does anyone actually use one of these machines.

Going by the reaction so far it seems not.

[John_Flynn]

Woodman read the full post, I use one, bloody great.

This could be a guideline to actual costs when importing from the States. Carriage varies according to size and weight, but the biggest EXTRA is duty etc. which is a percentage of cost. I worked it out that the price in $$s is roughly what you would pay in £s when everything has been added on. e.g. In the states item costs $200,
Import it and cost is £200. I dont think this guideline is too far out.

Dave,

You have probably explained why UK look so high.

Did not realise we had to pay duty, just thouht it would be transport plus vat.

Cant remember paying duty when I sent contents of house back to uk from Canada but I guess that was personal stuff.

[Dave_Lee]

Yes Ian,
Before new EU rules in fact when it was EEC. We moved back to UK after four years in Germany (Army). Didnt have to pay duty on any of our furniture, car and white goods as we had owned them more than two years, but got done for our camping trailer only owned 18 months and had to pay up.
Incidently, another guideline that seems to bear out - is that what you can buy for a pound in the UK - you can buy for a dollar in the States - no wonder the yanks have more disposable income than we have (on average.)
