Thanks. Discovering just how much unworn gear is out there was a bit of an eyeopener but it's been great to work out a bit of solution. It's all evolving and we're hoping to have more gear to sell in the future

It's a flat rate of €15 to anywhere in UK/EU. All garments are sent in RePack packaging which is reusable. You just stick it back in the post once the package arrives and it goes back in to circulation for reuse.

@3valleysofpow, good idea.
Maybe (if allowed) you should set up a new thread with a better title then you could keep an eye on it and do a relevant Q&A/ interaction there rather than on this rather general thread?

Watch out for customs duty on goods bought from eu countries now. The limits are £390 and above £630 a higher rate.

@BoardieK, is the deal not zero tariff (i.e. customs duty) ? VAT may be due though.
EDIT : Looks like you're correct, unless it's a 0% duty rate. This is why no one likes politicians.

Could be even a bit of bonus. If buying direct from a EU website then they should be able to export without charging their equivalent of VAT as it will be leaving the EU so a €500 set of skis should sold at about €420 from Germany (19% VAT) which at an exchange rate of 1.1 comes under the £390 limit.

Also worth noting at the moment due to border disruption/travel restrictions with the EU, a number of European retail sites have stopped shipping items to the UK, including Glisshop, FreshFarm and I think Ekosport (though looking at their website right now, the banner stating they aren't shipping has disappeared). This is obviously likely to simply be transient and will change once the Covid related disruption (due to new variant) improves, but may have an implication on people wanting to buy stuff because of sales.

But you then have to pay VAT at this end.

And the processing/handling fee to the courier/delivery company (currently £8 with the Royal Mail) and there’s the inconvenience if you ever need to send the item(s) back for whatever reason.

I've checked HMRC's duty rate thingy and skis from the EU/Swiss are 0% as far as I can tell.

Careful on ordering skis from privatesportshop, if you ask them to mount bindings even if its just them placing the bindings on a rail so totally adjustable, they consider that to be customizing and you cannot return them. (Obviously completely fair if drilled for your boot size). So if you’re buying on spec and may want to return, don’t ask them to mount

And dont forget to check on UK VAT and duties if applicable as they ship from Europe and that returns are more difficult.

...a t-shirt for people that tuck their t-shirts into their shorts?

if you wear socks with sandals I guess tucking a t-shirt into shorts just completes the look
