Can source a 150 gibi with mount here in norway ( company called x sat ) for ( norwegian kroner 7745,00 ) €920 including taxes? and shipping.:eek:

Do not think I will bother at that price.

Regards
From what I've seen, the average price for the Gibi 150 including AZ/EL mount here in Norway is around NOK 5000,- although I've seen it for as "little" as NOK 4500,-.

Click the green "" legg til kurv "" button

Followed by the green "" gå til kasse "" button

And if all works you will see the full price.

Otherwise just choose the 150 gibby and follow the order through to kasse/checkout point.

Regards

Ps this company site does allow copy and paste function:eek:

And the moral of the story is: Don't buy from x-sat! :-)

If you want a Gibi there are plenty of local dealers selling at around 5000,- (incl.tax/delivery). Alternatively, maybe someone on this forum can get you a good deal! ;-)

Mail from Laminas HQ in Poland:-
AS1500 with ASZ1500 az-el mount costs 353 €.

Certainly cheaper than 2Galli here, where they price an AS1500 with Az/El mount at €478 + shipping

The only applicable import charges will be the 25% VAT (chargeable on the dish AND cost of shipping). As far as I can tell there's no import duty to pay.

As you're outside the EU, does that mean that the price you were quoted is exclusive of VAT? Worth enquiring as they may have added it in.

Yes when I order sat. stuff from the uk they ship minus the vat, and if lucky import the items free of norwegian vat ( mva ).
But a dish the size of a barn door is something else:eek:

Regards

Will wait till they send the shipping charges to inquire if price is with local vat or not.

I did the same as @skomedal and asked the Laminas factory for pricing. this is what they came back with:

AS1500.................254 €
ASZ1500................99 €
STP1800................275 €
Shipping................296 €
Customs procedures 30 €

The shipping is the killer here!

Just checked my mail inbox and had this reply from Laminas:-

AS1500 with ASZ1500 az-el......................353 €

Shipping to Norway..................................168 €

Customs procedures....................................30 €

Sent a reply mail to find out if these prices include the Polish PTU/VAT.

Awaiting their reply.

The STP1800 is a post mount you can get one made locally to cut the shipping cost.

I was wondering if the post mount was the culprit re the shipping! :)

TBH i'm not too sure what to do regarding mounting i.e. a ground stand on a concrete slab (maybe make one myself?) or a steel pole concreted directly into the ground. I don't think i have too much soil before I hit rock (<1m), that could be a help or a hindrance! :-/ Anyway, that's off topic, if this hasn't already been done-to-death in another thread i'll probably start one! :)

Latest mail from Laminas:-

As you've mentioned below Norway is not eu member and we export goods with no VAT.
If you accept this prices just make on email with all your details ( name and address ) and I will send you proforma invoice with all bank details to make a transfer. If I'll get the proof of payment I send you the antenna just right, because we have a cuple of dishes on stock allways.

Regards

Chris

So no Polish VAT:)
