Well Rusty I'm sorry to say that I don't think I can get shipping much below what that other guy was saying. I had a go at UPS's shipping estimator and the lowest estimated cost was still eye watering.

Good evening matey.

That is such a shame, thanks for trying though man I think I'll save and then just go for it one day, at least I'll have one of very few imported Royals to show for it.  ;)

You'll get one eventually! I'll probably still have mine when you can do it.

That's how it has been with dyson dc01's for me. I've wanted to import one for several years now but MVacs came along with that nice early one and I felt the time was right.

Hey parwaz, Are you on eBay selling a few DC14's, I searched ebay for DC14 and 25 mile from my address and one of the cheaper options I clicked on came up with Parwaz (forgot the rest) as the seller, and in Birmingham

From the US to here, the cheapest way on a full size vac is to do it via eBay (sell a $10 item or something) and use their Global Shipping Programme. Pretty cheap and the import duty will be £0. You can sort the price difference out between you behind the scenes.

MVacs you are bloody ingenious! How comes the duties will be zero? I don't want a surprise and have to pay when it arrives here lol!

Items over £20 ish attract import duty. eBay have some kind of arrangement where its rolled into the shipping where applicable for faster customs clearance. As long as he puts the weight/dimensions of the package right, and includes US delivery, and enables Global Shipping on the listing, You can buy the $10 vacuum on a BIN immediately, he will ship it locally, Pitney Bowes will forward it to Hermes over here (yuk!) and you'll send him the extra $ on the quiet.  ;)

Very nice! So it'll only cost around £40 shipping instead of £400 haha.
I'll have to message the good ol' dude in a minute and suggest this!

That's a shame, would you think about making one?

If it's to much hassle for you it's fine  :thumbsup:

Sorry for not replying sooner Rusty.
The problem isn't so much making an ebay account, more that I've got school starting in a couple days and I'm a few hours away from home, my collection, and consequently that royal. Arranging this from here would be hard plus I would really rather pack it myself (hopefully you can appreciate that).  :boggleeye:

My offer stands, but it would have to take place on my next long-ish break which won't be for a while. I don't want much for the machine, it's yours if you want it and if you can wait a while.
