Delberthot Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I think I was something silly like £70 for my Schroeder 1212L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markstuk Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 It's going to be the VAT on the declared value (HMCE have access to price lists and can penalise you for making a stupid under-value declaration) plus the relevant duty charge (usually not very much for electronic goods).. They've got much much smarter over the past 2-3 years....

Phil-osopher10 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 ohhh... that's a lot of money just to import it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_b Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 What are you looking for? Unless you're in a rush, you'll probably find a better one in the For Sale section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil-osopher10 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 The new David Nordschow Amp (DNA) cabs. THe DNS 112 is going for 699 dollars on bass central and the shipping is an extra 275. So I think it'll end up pretty expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, id stick with a nice Berg 1x12 or Aguilar 1x12. Cheaper (as you wont have to pay import/postage), and very high quality. In fact, the GS112's by Aguilar are a great price.

chris_b Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 The Eden 112's didn't get great reviews so I'd want to hear a DNA 112 first! For that money you can get 2 Aguilar DB112's or a Bergantino 112. Also there's an Aguilar DB410 going for less than the DNA in the For Sale section!!

molan Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 (edited) Generally need to allow 20% on top of the [i]declared [/i]unit price AND the shipping cost. I always think the VAT on shipping to be a bit of a rip-off really! Edited October 21, 2010 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
