cost of machines in uk

Dont be put off by the spares with yank stuff. If you phone through and pay for parts 3pm our time which is about 9am there they will be on your doorstep 8am the next morning. Thats using UPS, as said they are big into freight services and very good at it, it takes some beating. Also reckon on a £ to the $ by the time it gets here because its racks up with import,vat, freight and handling charges. The UK vat is charged on all of these but you wont incur the mainland yank taxes because its for export.

My last significant purchase was from a firm in Germany. It was around £450 cheaper than in the UK and delivery was free. Also you can't be stung for import duty or VAT because you're buying within the EU. I drove it off the pallet and went to work.
