Premacon 960 SME Down Under

[liftmys10]

To the few that ordered from USA, did you have to pay sales tax that customs might charge? I remember looking into purchasing one but didnt pull the trigger because I wasnt sure how much the sales tax was going to be since premacon doest not include VAT when they sell it over the pond. Can you share with us regarding sales tax and shipping cost? Thanks.

I'm not in the US, but I guess one naturally need to pay your home state's sales tax/VAT, as you do with everything else, food, clothes..But it's 5-10%, like 'nothing'? In Europe we have 20-25%, so it's a bit above But on the other hand freight is a bit lower.

The other thing is I don't do facebook, twitter alibaba and all that, I don't have the time for a social media lifestyle and with the exception of RT&C - my spare time is devoted to making my RC model and any web time I do have spare, goes right here to RT&C. Are you planning on doing anything on the ground locally like getting a boots on the ground group going, RC construction field days or anything, or is it gonna be just a facebook thingy.

Hi mate. The facebook thing is for advise, place to buy and sell.
Just a way to get us all together where ever u are in the world.
That's great u live in Brisbane, nice no 1/16 doesn't matter, as long as u can push dirt from the trucks that bring it to you.
We havnt really got a club yet. But let's try make one.

Hi Tony. Thanks for your reply. Yeah well I'll be in for trying to get something going here in terms of a local RC T&C group. I'll be in touch.

Hi Rimrock,

No sales tax just duties tax in the US. Unless you live in a state that requires sales tax on every thing bought sold over the Internet.
