(1/4) > >>

Trigger:
Was searching about for some parts this morning and found the same part number is half the price on DSS USA site compared to his UK site  18 dollars to £27.43   :o

Twas ever thus! For some reason many products are to be found cheaper in the USA, but when you take into account cost of shipping and duties it seldom makes the effort worth while.

But makes DSS profit worthwhile, but at least companies like DSS, CSM and Yamiya, etal keep our bikes on the road - that said, eBay can be a useful for good used OEM or NOS stuff.

The USA doesn't have 20% Vat or UK Business rates to contend with.

Trigger:
Even if you add VAT to 18 dollars = £13 + VAT it is still over the top at £27.43. If you have a business in the USA and one in the UK there is no import tax or duty as, it is classed as stock transfer  ;)
