Welp deposit paid for another Langlitz Columbia. 6 month wait. Hoping third time is a charm. Paired with my electra glide police bike should be good to go. Might have them add a badge holder just for fun.
Standard 2 pocket columbia medium black cow plus a badge holder probably. No belt loops. Similar fit to my last one minus 1 inch body length. Was just too long for the bike.What are the specs?
This!
That´s why I said, it could mean all sorts of things. If Greg is VAT-exempt, it means, that he cannot deduct VAT from EU-orders. He could however
- lower prices for customers ordering from the EU (I understand Iron Heart is doing that; Dundas Footwear from Norway have been doing that in the past)
- arrange for a courier service (e.g. DHL) to handle EU-imports as his expence.
Jacket will be send by the end of this month. Thanks for all your feedback! Once I receive it, I should be able to gain some insight from the paperwork. In any event, I am happy for Greg that he seems to be really busy, and I really do appreciate that he took the admin of handling import duties from me.
My first UK jacket import customs experience.
Yesterday I bought an Eastman Californian from someone in the UK. The seller declared it as a gift with a value of €50. I just received an email from the parcel carrier, UPS, that customs crearance fees need to be payed over the value of the item+shipping costs.
Customs fee: €26.23
Which is not a lot, but that's only because I had the seller declare a value of €50. I would have had to pay about €390 (VAT+import tax over £1200+shipping) in case he had declared the real value of £1200.
Jackets from the UK have become a lot more expensive. Brexit sucks.
Edit: I based the above calculation on MRSP. Since I bought second hand from eBay, I should have used purchase price instead.
I payed £705 for the jacket + shipping.
705*1.21 (VAT) = £853
£853*1.04 (import fee on leather jackets) = £887
That means that if I had declared the purchase price as the actual value, it would have cost me £182 or €205 + handling fees for the parcel carrier.
Just confirmed my specs with Denny. Midnight blue version 3.0 is finally underway! Hopefully arrives next week!!
I suffer from it too. Can't wait to see your new FL.Is it normal that a bunch of middle-aged guys are excited about a jacket that somebody else is about to receive...?
Probably a psychiatric condition ("leather jacket by proxy-syndrom")...
