Shipping from USA

I like to Purple Puple.....

One thing to keep in mind is the shipping costs, make sure that before you buy you have checked with the shop and that that can send it to the UK (depending on weight of items).

It can add up to £100 for delivery, still this is often cheaper than buying here. Check with the UPS web site http://www.ups.com/ this should give you an idea of weight and cost.

Good luck. If all else fails, cheap air ticket and bring it back.

See you on the dark side. Panic

Remeber, it is the purple one that loves you, give in to the purple one you know you want it.

Steve......

for fnuck sake, get an eclipse they are miles better, easy to service and look ace.

STO's are nothing special

chris mate if you bothered to do your research you will find that they use almost identical parts, which is almost the same marker.

if the sTO was **** it wouldnt be rated one of the best markers of all time would it.

there a beautifull marker that fires excatly the same

i would like one

but cant get my hands on one

Steve - sorry mate but you are way out of whack on this

Walker - you are on the money dude

The big difference is the cost. $600 for a STO compared to $1300 for an Eclipse. I agree that the eclipse is the ****, but the STO is a great cocker for the price. I also agree with Beak and Walk that the STO is NOT the same cocker as the Eclipse. The Eclipse is a much better marker, it just costs twice as much. Just dpeneds on how much you want to spend.

Chip,

Indeed - you aren't comparing the same marker

chris mate if you bothered to do your research you will find that they use almost identical parts, which is almost the same marker.

Now that is the bit he has got really wrong - hence my link.

To me you are comparing is the Eclipse worth the money (which is a personal opinion) and not is the Eclispe like an STO - which is soooo isn't. Now comparing the Eclipse to the Evo X is another matter

P.S. - I am sorry about this weekend. I am really pi$$ed at missing playing with you guys but I must think of the team and Max first

Back to the original question!

There is also the added cost of Import tax!

So watch out for that aswell!

You should probably know customs charge you 17.5% VAT + 5% Import duty = 22.5% plus you have to pay parcelforce a handling fee for it being caught at customs. After you add all this up it works out just as cheap to buy it here. The only way u can get around it is putting the value to under £18 but if they lose it the insurance will only give you £18 back (and they do lose them I had a shocker sent over that went missing after being at customs and realeased to parcelforce). To be honest I don't think its worth it but thats your choice.
