I quite like the little shoulder plane, and the introductory price sure looks good.

You must of missed an earlier thread. I ordered two days ago :lol:

Keep up CL

 

[crazylilting]

Sorry must of missed it. I only got an email from lee valley today so i assumed it would be new new apparently not.

 

[Jake]

It's the time zone lag.

I only got it today as well, I think it's called being an undervalued customer.

 

[wizer]

I think it's the way we do email in Britain, it's not as good as the email over in Canadia

 

[crazylilting]

I'll take that as British humour?

 

[Jake]

Well, it might not be as good as Canadidian humour but its all we know.

Edit,I tried some smileys to underline the levity of that remark but hell I hate those things, so they had to go.

itll be the awful damp problem that only the uk suffers from affecting the computers

(they dont have damp in canada on account of all the water being frozen down )

Are there any issues ordering from them, import fees etc? or do I just wait till someone sells them in the UK, I'd like one of those markng guages

Cheers

[crazylilting]

depends on what you mean about issues.

It will be shipped at some expense and there will be vat and the parcel forces letter asking you to drop your drawers and pay them for the privilege of having them collect the vat on behalf of the government.

Other then that no issues at all.

I'm not sure if it is worth buying this particular item. I don't have the numbers worked out on the final cost. But i don't think you'll be able to buy it this cheaply in the future as these are introductory prices. Once they are in production and are sold in the Uk the price may be higher but it's hard to say. It depends on how much you like it and want it at the end of the day.

I agree that the marking gauge looks brilliant, I will be waiting as I have to much money coming out then coming in at this point. Have to wait till some of the jobs on the bench are finished... arg

If you only want the gauge it should come below the duty threshold.
It is sent from the US i believe. Ask for shipping by Air Mail

I have ordered a set, it came to a total of $52.64 for air mail shipping, will have to wait to see how much duty/handling fee I have to pay.

 

[CNC Paul]

I think the limit is £37, if it is above that they charge duty. DHL are the worst for shafting people.

$52.64 with shipping? Or $52.64 for the shipping Dave?

I thought it was $19 does any know for certain?

 

[DaveL]

$52.64 with shipping

That was the total bill.

The shipping options were:

*Surface Mail 8-12 Weeks $11.50

*Air Mail 2-4 Weeks $13.64

*Xpresspost 8-10 Business Days $52.57

*UPS Express 5-6 Days to Major Centers $25.65

 

[Tom K]

Phew! yeah thats about what I paid last time I ordered some small items.
Good luck with the duty.

I think it is the nearest thing to playing Russian roulette 8)
