How long should it take for my pickups to get here...
« on: December 18, 2013, 04:59:35 PM »
Hello,

I know I'm getting over excited, but how long should it take to get to Atlanta, Ga From UK...I just got a email this morning saying my order has been "dispatched" and they gave me a tracking number. Thanks.

I'm in Massachusetts and it usually takes about 7 to 10 days from the day I order.  Mostly because of customs checking it for way too long

You guys get them faster than me. I'm in Europe and it usually takes some 2 weeks (though I don't buy them direct, but through a shop listed on the distribuitor's page).

What's the process to get them to the US from the UK? I mean with the Customs and everything?

But I mean no need to fill any Customs forms, pay duty, etc, etc? I just never imported anything from abroad and don't know how it goes.

Anything to the USA should be faster than from the USA ... US First Class Mail is atrociously slow at the moment.  I've had several items sit in sorting centres in the USA for weeks before being sent to Australia.  Truly frustrating.  The post from the UK is excellent.  I usually get stuff from the UK in a week, for the same cost as sending something from the USA in three or four weeks ...

Do you guys in Australia have to pay any import taxes/duty, like we do in the UK?  I know they don't in the USA.

I ordered mine on December 11th and got them in the mail on December 20th.. That's pretty snappy, even considering the Danish postal service...

No, we don't  :D  If it costs over $1000 I think we do, but I've never imported a single item that expensive.
