Rip off Britain................

Woodbridge selling exact same machine for £6250.00 + VAT.

You would have to pay VAT and import tax on it. Not sure what the current rate for industrial tools is.

Doubt you would have many consumer rights, like warrenty etc. I am sure Woodbridge would claim not to service it, although thats like Harold Shipman rufusing to treat your Nan.

If you rang Woodbridge, they would sell that to you for £5625.00.
You would have to pay Duty, VAT, import tax on top of the purchase price if you bought direct.

I dont see a fresh water tank with the machine which Woodbridge include, It's a lot more than £2500.00 when you have finsihed!

Are you saying Woodbridge shouldn't make any profit and that those big premises and staff etc should pay for themselves?

Hi all

Phil is right £2500 pluu shippping at probily about £500
which = £3000 plus 25 % for Vat and handling charges and
import duty so i would say your machine would work out at about
 £3750 all in sitting at your door. if you wanted a fresh water tank with it you could buy one with the machine and get it shipped over at the same time probily cost an extra £750 ish pounds. still not a bad deal
and going by my own personal exsperence with woodbridges service
you will still get it as quick if not quicker than  woodbridge could supply it to yourself.

Buying that little lot of woodbridge would cost you about £7500 all in
so you will still be saving £3000 byou could buy another machine at that price and use it as a back up.

Ps shipping from the states is no big deal in  fact i find it easier to get stuff
from the states than from england ie, its here just as quick if not quicker.

Looks a nice little unit for £3k which is about the price of a decent porty.
Well worth thinking about  ;)
