We do offer the BKP logo etched onto covers as a no cost option, unfortunately we can't do it onto open coils.

yea i remember it only being offered on covered pickups (it was an option that costed more) glad to see its no cost now. with that in mind how much would a calibrated covered (black) set of nailbombs (engraved) cost in american dollars?

www.xe.com - Convert £190 using the current exchange rate...they won't set a price in USD 'cause exchange rates change and they could lose money

USA dont pay VAT i think... so thats 17% off? could be wrong best check with Tim and the guys ;)

Woah, is that true? So it would be subtract 17% then use the current exchange rate? I hope that's how it works.

Yes prices include VAT at 17.5%- you don't get 17.5% off the whole price, the 17.5% is of the original cost and added to the two. If you are ordering from USA you can forget VAT- wish we could but don't get me started.

Actually, what I should have said is that if the prices quorted include VAT, you can deduct it. I do beleive that the prices include it- best check first though.

The thing you have to remember when taking out VAT is that you can't find 17.5% of £190, and take that away because you'll get the wrong amount...

What you want is the number, which when you take 17.5% of it and add that to itself you end up with £190 - which you find by doing 190/1.175

So the actual amount you will pay in GBP is £161.70 = £298.94 at the current exchange :drink:

If you enter a US address onto the order form in the shop, the shop will automatically deduct UK VAT(17.5%), then use a currency converter to give you the price in US$............a rough guide is $300 for a covered etched set.Your credit card will then get you the best exchange rate on the day you order.

*Polite cough*
Sorry to interrupt this wonderful discussion about mathematics and chemistry, but now that we've established you're smart is there any chance you verify/correct this?

Quote from: Hyde

So for an uncovered set assume roughly $270-ish?

:lol: I'm really sorry - we often get distracted from the topic at hand...

Right, minus the VAT an uncovered set would cost £144.68 (except the Rebel Yell and Crawler which cost more) - So at the current exchange rate of about 1.84, you're looking at $267 for an uncovered set :drink:

but does that include delivery, which is probably more for across the puddle??

There are a couple of USA dealers incidentally- I don't knwo if it is more pratical for you to use one of them.

Is it possible to get the BKP etching also to camo covers?
