Tribal Carper Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Can any of the vendors that carry UK Daiwa products get the Daiwa Infinity DF models , i'm interested in the 13' 3.75TC version. Johnsonross offers them for £319.00 tax incl. VAT...which equal $482.81 , so without the VAT they should be a little cheaper. If anyone can get them in , please let me know. Quote
parksy Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 You do realize a month or two after buying from Johnson Ross you will get a customs tax bill, meaning its actually cheaper to purchase in the USA. I know several people who got stung with this, myself included. Quote
Guest RebelCarp Posted March 8, 2013 Report Posted March 8, 2013 I got hit with a extra 37 dollars on my one order a month later. I paid $88 (53 or 55 british pound)for shipping before that also! Quote
Tribal Carper Posted March 8, 2013 Author Report Posted March 8, 2013 Never purchased any big ticket items from JR , but have through TackleBox and Specialist Tackle and NEVER recieved any additional bill from either. But thats the reason I would like to purchase through a North American dealer , to avoid any hassel and any customs tax that might come with the purchase. I have ordered Shimano rods through one vendor and they shipped direct from the UK and at a cheaper shipping rate than I could have purchased rods from a USA shop...no customs tax on those either.

Tribal Carper Posted March 10, 2013 Author Report Posted March 10, 2013 is specialist tackle still open loved that site but been down for ever I really dont know....have'nt visited that site for a long time now. They used to be my go to shop in the UK , specially when they had the "Stars and Strips" section...could get stuff in 2-3 days from the UK...also was great when they had a shop over here up on the Larry in NY , all I would do is call Danny Henwood and he would have stuff shipped over for me on their next container and he would only charge me shipping from NY to Ohio. Bought my Fox Classic Brolly and Fox Ultra bedchair through them many years ago, and again only paid for shipping from NY to Ohio. Bought a LOT of tackle through them back in the day. Miss that shop but last time I was on there they didnt have hardly anything on their website. Quote
Idaho Carpin Posted March 10, 2013 Report Posted March 10, 2013 I have been in their shop a dozen times in Waddington and they helped me out several times. With lending me a extra net for a long session with friends and sold me a used jrc net handle for $10 when I broke mine. They always were happy to share local spots and what baits were working best. Nice guys. Quote
