mini group buy - mouser UK

lorriman · 24th July 2012, 05:49 PM

Hi,

I'm ordering some stuff from mouser UK but I am £30 away from reaching the £50 postage threshold to avoid a £12 charge.

If two or three people would like to order some items to make up the package then I would be pleased to send them on by first class postage.

So that's about £10 to £15 each + postage and packaging could be around £13.5, if that's good for you. Usual conditions: no guarantees and payment by paypal 'gift' only. If the item doesn't arrive I will send you the 'certificate of posting' and you can claim on it.

Please no multiple, single tiny cheap items. Ie, avoid ordering 1 x 50 ohm, rather 30 x 50 ohm.

PM me if interested.

doesn't know that there Is mouser uk
are you sure that they dispatch from uk and not from USA
the latter means that you have to deal with customs
BTW I am Interested at your offer

There is a uk.mouser.com. I asked mouser how it works and they replied with this:

"All of our goods are shipped from Texas, USA, but they are customs cleared in France. If you ship via FedEx then you will not have to pay any import taxes etc"

I have had a long conversation with mouser since the above. Effectively, unless I am VAT registered (I'm not) then there is 20% on top at the checkout. But there is no duty, which would usually be 6%, if I select fedex for delivery.

So it looks like my estimate is off by 20%.

To clarify: we do pay duty. As far as I could tell from the representative, it's included in the price so no hassles or import costs so long as fedex is the delivery man.

how much will be shipping from usa to uk with FedEx

lorriman · 25th July 2012, 11:41 AM

It'll be zero so long as the items cost £50+.

That means if you want £15 of items, then the total cost will be something like

£15 x 20% +£3.50p&p. That comes to about £21.50. The p&p may be less: it's just whatever the post office charge + envelope.

are you sure that free shipping Is not only for USA locations

lorriman · 25th July 2012, 01:16 PM

The representative said as much, and the site advertises this as sterling on the uk.mouser.com subdomain.

The shipping is free in all of Europe as long as you top the ~50£ threshold.
