Just bought some BC Predators for my Thruxton. Am completely in love with them. HOWEVER, and really cross with myself.
I'm based in the UK. I looked at the British Customs site in the US and did the currency conversion and even with delivery charges from there they were £413 in total. Here they are £505 with delivery included.
So I thought that I was doing the clever thing by buying them from the US!
No.
The postal service here held on to them until I paid customs charges of £110!
So now they have cost me from the US £523!
Now, that is only £18 more, so you could say that although I've learnt my lesson, it wasn't too much.
But the even more annoying thing is they took 12 days to arrive when I could have had them within 3 days here!
Grr... anyway, note to self, take customs tax in to account in future. It's just annoying because I thought I was being canny.
