Musicman20 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hey Im guessing some people buy direct from USA....is this a good idea? Do you end up paying a lot of charges? Are there any good reliable online stores in UK, or worldwide, that people have used? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 In the US Tonefactor are marvellous - but the Pound isn't that good against the dollar at present In the UK check out Effect Power Supplies and Hotrox UK (Google will get you straight to both) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 from america proguitarshop.com are quite good, they stock mostly boutique gear that's hard to come by over here, and when I ordered them they marked down the value on the shipping info so it wouldn't get stopped and leaving me paying exorbitant import duty, which is very handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Cheers guys Hotrox in the UK seem fairly cheap and they have stock. Its about £140 for the pedal, all incl. From USA, about £110, but then gotta add any charges, so not really much cheaper due to the current exchange rate. This time I might go with UK.

Muse_Cubed Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Tonefactor are amazing - received all my stuff from there in under a week (they also mark it to avoid customs) and shipping is $20 flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannybuoy Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yup, bought a couple of pedals from Tonefactor, arrived in a week or less and no customs charges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicman20 Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 I might go with Tonefactor....they seem to be ablout £40 cheaper incl postage. Anyone ordered two pedals at once (thus getting free postage on the second?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubs Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Another +1 for Hotrox. If you're ever in Notts then go and check them out - fantastic customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnasher1993 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Crush The Button in Belgium sells loads of boutique effects. [url="http://www.crushthebutton.be/?lang=en"]http://www.crushthebutton.be/?lang=en[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tayste_2000 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I buy almost all my fx from America and very rarely get charged duty on them, also even with duty on them it still works out cheaper. Tonefactor are the best online store barre none Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuticleThorns Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Tonefactor are brilliant. I also recomeend Effects Power Supplies for a UK seller. Just bought a POG2 & I have nothing but praise for Richard there, 100% satisfied with his customer service. If I am ever down there I'll definately drop by.
