Watch out. That's just for the rock sliders. You order the rock sliders and steps separately.
Collecting this tax for shipments outside the EU simply pads their margin on the sale. No tax is owed to the governing authority. Definitely not a customer friendly policy.
Last time I checked Switzerland was not part of the EU, their tax laws will vary from the EU so maybe don't be so quick to judge. VAT is also lower in Switzerland than most EU countries, 7.7% versus 19% in Germany.
True story. No reply back.
Appreciate the link. It's encouraging to see Black Sheep's enthusiasm and growth. Although, the update seems focused on customer inquiries, not dealer communications.
I believe they attended SEMA and had another show lined up after that, they had a header on their website for a while in November saying they would be hard to contact.
They don't do this if you get to the end of the ordering process. Create an account, put in your shipping address, it deletes the VAT.
Just to clarify on this, @Fidei Defensor’s
No, I literally posted photos. This is not correct. You go to the website and change their pricing to USD and you get one price that includes 7.7% VAT. You go and you put in your address and the price drops. The price goes from $1611 to $1496. This is the third posting of this on the same page, with pictures (and hot links). Before you start badmouthing people publicly maybe actually verify things first. At the least you should delete your accusations but better yet you should give an apology.
My comment is a bit late, but I wanted to add that I think the 200 series Land Cruiser is a good benchmark for this. There is a surprising amount of aftermarket options made in the US for the 200 series considering how few were sold here. EDIT -- I'll also add that it took a long time for that market to develop, so if you bought a 2008 LC200 you were shipping stuff internationally for many years...
Just calleds Expedition One toady and they claim they have no further plan with Grenadier accessory development at the moment. It looks like they backed off.
I hope they do. They have some of the best stuff I’ve seen for the grenadine so far. I love their design tastes. Coolest slider/steps I’ve seen… with a price to match.
I was certainly interested in the sliders from LeTech, BS, and Buzz - the use of high quality stainless from Buzz put them to the top. I’m looking forward to their arrival.
