Buying a Satellite System from a German supplier

[Neil S]

Thinking of buying a satellite system from a German supplier will I be hit with extortionate carriage charges because we have left the EU

 

[David and Sally]

Probably. And taxes.

Agree they are good
I had the Target Autoskew fitted to our last Motorhome but let it go to when we sold it
In hindsight I should have removed

20% VAT plus customs agents charges, if the seller is geared up for exports he should be able to ship it ex German VAT which is 19%.

We’ve got an Alden system, I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody

 

[Wagoneer]

Why don't you give Anthony OysterTech a call or PM (forum member). He might have some reconditioned ones knockiing around or special price for new system.

Edit: just realised he doesn't sell but is an authorised service agent. He obviously imports spare parts and may possibly sell reconditioned units. He's a fountain of knowledge regarding Oyster systems.

They probably wont ship to the uk.

Just go to Germany and have one fitted. Bob.

Have had my systems fitted by Jacksons for over 20 years. They come to your door and an excellent warranty.
