Title: Shurflo Backpack
Post by: Jack Avery on September 23, 2007, 07:17:32 pm

I have just received my Shurflo backpack from the US. Its cost to me including insured tracked carriage was £120. ( should be even cheaper now) It arrived 6 days following order and you could track its journey on the internet. I was expecting to pay some import tax but none was charged!

I hope you don't get any problems with it Jack? if kwackers gets a problem, his will be sorted in a couple of days, yours will take weeks back to the USA, thats the only reason I bought mine in the uk.

Good on you for getting away with import duty, some don't and get stung another £40 I think.

I got away with the import tax, but without a UK warranty, I had to pay cleantech £50 for a new PCB. Dai
