Hey JD A nimbus trials uni including postage would cost you $427.31 (£205.33) from unicycle.com US. You're better to stick with unicycle.com UK as unfortunately the shipping from the US to here is incredibly high! -- amanda.gallacher 'my gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/dpa27) 'unicycle.com' (http://www.unicycle.uk.com) 'kris holm' (http://www.krisholm.com) 'Amanda Gallacher' (http://www.myspace.com/amandagallacher) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ amanda.gallacher's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/10009 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65342 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

I don't really thing that the pound is strong or the Can $ is strong but that the US $ is loosing value. I thought that I was going to save money last year by buying through UDC instead of locally but ended up spending $110 on shipping (which I expected) then $190 in duties! And we have so called free trade. All in all It ended up costing me marginally more and took more time than getting a local retailer to order it in. That said, shipping and duties are not in any way their fault. I have found that their customer service is quite good. -- saskatchewanian The Coker isn't elegant, it's majestic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65342 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Shipping was about 200 $. Customs not so bad. You Limey's have the VAT that Yank's don't have to pay. The total bill was about 800$ for an Onza TV from Bike Dock.com. There are only 3 shops that carry trials bikes in the USA, and they start at 1200 $, then go up from there. High end stuff. Took about 6 weeks to get here, and was smashed ! Like a bear was looking in the box for lunch. The DHL driver suggested I send it back, and as parts were missing (along with a third of the box), that's what I did. I eventually got all my money back, but the crap got lost on the way back across the "pond". So it took another 3 months to get back my $. In the meanwhile I bought some uni's. So fate was not so bad. Anyway, IMHO it is a big pond. I really don't think a UK rider can do better then Roger at UDC UK. At least not buying from over here. Factoring in all the extra time, shipping costs, and box eating bears, the dollar would have to move way further south before you should consider shopping west. -- feel the light ------------------------------------------------------------------------ feel the light's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14551 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65342 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

When I ordered my KH, I had to pay $25ish CAD for shipping. When it reached my door, I found out there was another $125.06 waiting to be paid for customs. I was quite disappointed. Although UDC is great service, I think I'm going to wait for Brian to open his unicycle outlet whatever place before I get anything else. Stuff from the US is too expensive to import. -- CoreTechs UNICYCLE FOR CHRIST And get 'LOST' (www.lost.eu/69d9c). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CoreTechs's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15629 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65342 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |

Factoring in all the extra time, shipping costs, and box eating bears, the dollar would have to move way further south before you should consider shopping west. The only time it is worth it is for some low end products that we can't get over here. In my case, a Torker TX giraffe. I would have had to fork out £170 for the nimbus, but got the torker for little over £100. Not as good I know but i just wanted a cheap giraffe. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65342 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
