So we have 6 people now, or 5? Lets get more! Come on guys this is a rare opportunity and you wont have to put up with the BS fitting of aftermarket body kits!

[jgreening]

We have 6. This should help marginally with pricing as the initial cost of the skirts will be spread out over 6 people not 5. I will talk with Romas.

Guys, I haven't wired the money yet. I am still waiting for a return email from the vendor. I want to make sure that he knows the money is coming from me when the wire is sent. I emailed him Monday and haven't heard from him so I don't want to just wire money across the ocean until I know he knows its coming.

[1900WattCelica]

Good call

[jgreening]

Update: Guys I have emailed the vendor 3 times since last Monday with no response. I don't know what is going on but I will keep trying.

Jay, i have a suggestion for ya.... I can ask my friend to GO directly to the Shop and get them. This way we could save up some $ and some VAT and some other shiznit... i will ask him about this and let you know. And you think about this too.

The vendor emailed me back today. He is working hard at getting the VAT form eventhough I told him I was willing to forgo the refund. I want to be a little patient to see if we can save this money. Romas, the VAT tax is only charged if the skirts are not airshipped to a non-EC country. As I understand it, it has to be charged when your friend picks up the skirts. If there is another way to get the skirts without the VAT tax, I would be very interested.

Basicly UK and Lithuania are both Europe Union members - this means NO TAX for IMPORT/EXPORT stuff.

If my friend gets them - he will not be charged any VAT tax and etc.. Basicly if you gonna get them, yea you would save a bit of money, but i do think if my friend vent directly to them and asked for the skirts he might get a price witch would be even better cuz he could atleast trade on them

But this way there would be no VAT refund - expect if my friend would talk them up selling them without VAT (this can be done, cuz he is idividual person and if he doesnt need any form of payment papers - in reality they could sell them cheaper..)

I will just ask my friend to go to them and talk about all the shiznit, and see what i can do in this place.

Romas, I don't really understand what you are saying.

Here is what I have been told:
(1) there is no VAT tax charged if the vendor ships the product to a non-EC country.
(2) if someone buys goods in a EC country for use in another EC country, 17.5% VAT tax is automatically added.
(3) The VAT tax can be refunded if the goods are taken out of the EC country. Form 407 is used when someone drives across the border into a non-EC country and form C88 is used when the product is shipped out to a non-EC country.

With that said, why wouldn't your friend be charged the VAT tax if he picks the skirts up?
Why would I get a better price than your friend?
When you say that he could "at least trade with him" do you mean negotiate a different price?

If your friend can buy these without a VAT tax, lets do that. It would be a hell of a lot easier and we can get this group buy going.

Please explain.
