shipping to the uk

[alex79]

I want to ask if I order the Silvertron 3 to the UK, the shipping price 28.5$ include taxes also?if not how much tax must pay?I live in Israel but I have a friend in the UK who can bring me the item.

The shipping cost does not include any taxes.  That would be charged by the UK as import duties.  There is no American tax.  I ship via USPS First Class mail parcel out of country.

ok, I'll check and see how much I must pay taxes.

Let us know the result, Alex. I just accidentally ordered supplements from Piping Rock in the US in error. I normally order from their German site, but the web pages are identical and I wasn't being attentive. The duty was horrendous. The UK Post Office has an £8 handling charge before you start looking at the import duty.

Hello Sneezewort
I too got stung for customs charges when i bought from Piping Rock.
I have tried searching for the German site you mentioned but i keep getting the US site. Any chance of a direct link to the German site please.
Thanks

Sorry about the delay. Been otherwise occupied recently. Looks as though the German site is no longer available. Bit of a bugger. They were very cheap. 200 Melatonin for £4.68 or thereabouts. I first bought from them through Amazon, I think. Might be worth a look. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Edit. Just checked Amazon. They only resell and seem quite expensive. I also checked domain names. Pipingrock.de is taken, but no longer active, so I don't know what has happened.
