Thanks moonbase, the link isn't that clear, when you click buy the import duty is added to your invoice duty is paid there and then, instead of getting a letter/postman wanting extra payment.

Good idea really, noticed John had to send payment before items posted, saves waiting extra days and messing around sending payment to realise items in certain cases.

VS, I think it may be because one LNB + shipping is below the threshold for duty. In the calculation is shows customs as 0.00 If you go to the postage calculator it adds customs charges if you increase the quantity to 3 or more. It's cheaper to buy only 1 or 2 per order.

Actually, what I said is not the full story. You get shipping discount which works for you. What it needs is a spreadsheet to choose the optimum quantity but even I'm not sad enough to do that.

So in this case ...unless you can do a deal with the supplier where he/she will generously factor the shipping and import duties into the bulk item(s) cost ...
you could theoretically lose out ..
Don't ya just love barriers to trade..
lol

As I see it, extra charges will apply when you go to pay for the item ?

Important things to keep in mind

  • The charges that you see in the item listing are not final until you pay for the item. These charges could change if, for example, you change your delivery address during checkout, or if the applicable import rules change before you complete your payment.

  • With the exception of shipments to certain countries, delivery to PO boxes isn't supported by the Global Shipping Programme.
Checkout
During checkout, you see the final charges for your item, including the item cost, the postage costs, and any import charges. The postage costs include any UK or US domestic postage fees charged by the seller, as well as programme fees, international postage charges, fuel surcharges, and processing and handling fees

Just going off previous lnb purchases from the states ..
Namely Titanium C1PLL ..
What you payed at checkout is the final tally ..
No extra charges were applied ..and this is much the same arrangement.

The order for 8 x Zinwell C Band LNB's has been placed. The cost delivered to the UK including import duty was £264.28p, a cost of £33.03p per unit, excluding UK local postage to end users. I will create a PM topic to continue the multi buy.

Thanks for the confirmation and your time organising this. I thought there might be a few more takers.

CH,

You're welcome.

I think that there might possibly have been a few more takers if I had created a separate multi buy topic on its own in the forum. Having the multi buy as a series of topics within the AV-COMM topic might have only caught the eye of AV-COMM interested members?

I thought there'd be more interest even though it's in this thread, for that price anyone interested in C Band should of got one if only to compare against the more common DRO and PLL LNBFs.

The "Zinnies" have arrived, left on the doorstep by someone who rang the bell and had gone by the time I answered the door, no signature required.

What's in the box:
1 x Zinwell C Band LNB
1 x Blue End Cap
1 x Dielectric Plate
Flat Scalar Ring (metal, seems decent quality)
1 x Set Of 4 screws.
