$20 for the vtr it is going to be mayhem

Although the prices on these sale items are incredibly low, I suspect that they will be items with cosmetic defects ie: seconds ... they are offering 20 of the mixed SS/brass Nemesis mods yet my order for one of these states that they are waiting to restock.

be wary of customs charges if order value over £18

place many small orders instead

Does anyone know how much customs charge if that did happen? Like is there a set %?

My last order was for about $70 but slipped through thankfully! will remember to break them down in future

This may help -> www.dutycalculator.com/new-import-duty-and-tax-calculation/

Please note also that Carriers can and will charge approx £8.00 if they have to collect the above duties/taxes

Where does it say about the kudos score limit?

[Carpe Vapor]

I wasn't a member before Sept 2013 so no go for me on the Blue Dot 50% purchases, plus never posted on their forums

It changed to 100 forum posts & 20 product reviews now

"- Some offers are reserved to active forum members. The rule is tentatively >100 kudos but is subject to change."

Geek put that on one of the early pages with a load of info, put something about the 20 verified product reviews in one of the later pages if i remember rightly lol

EDIT:

"We hear you. The forums only rules will be expanded to include customers with 20+ approved reviews.



Happy Holidays."

Put that on page 20

Made about 15 orders from Fasttech, mostly over £50 with some over £100 and never been hit..in fact I've never been hit once from ordering from Asia in four years. Might have something to do with the low declarations though .

So it starts 1am on the 26th here?

Time zones confuse the pants off me.

VTR isn't my cup of tea really. But for $20 I'll try and get one. Only bit I don't like is the fingerprint magnet issue.

Also will be trying to get a kayfun clone. If I get on with it I'll buy a genuine kayfun

I think you'd have to be extremely unlucky to be hit with any Customs charges from FT Cas . . . I've yet to read of it happening to anyone.

As an aside, the excess duty fees are acceptable, it's the £8 ' handling ' charge from RM that puts my back up.

Oh no. You need to have 100 posts to catch a 50% off VTR or Kayfun clone.

Bugger.

I have a post count of....

zero.

I think the VTR & Kayfun are open to all (only 10&20 available) it's only the ones with a blue cirlce that are available to forum members with 100 kudos..

Worth a shot, be gone fast

if you haven't had 100 posts you can get in with 20+ reviews i've got 22 bob on. But these will be gone faster than Super-Shiny 's sale threads

There not blue so guessing everyone has a chance

[Timbo]

So who's staying up till 2am to try get a deal?!

I thought about it but did not feel it was worth staying up till 2am especially by the small amount that is on offer. I would love to get the VTR for that price but ten available, no chance!
