Sherman Tig (Jasic in disguise?)

[big bbq]

It's a new thing, I think: you pay the VAT to the exporter, so no further tax/duty to be paid upon entry to the UK

Banggood/AliExpress are doing the same.

The VAT added on all 3 of the sites ive found selling these is 23% which I'm assuming is the Polish VAT rate. Surely I should be paying 20% when buying in the UK, makes me think I'm gonna get double charged.

EDIT: unless that 3% is some import duty..? I'll email them and ask them what the crack is.

Hello, has anyone ordered one of these post brexit from Poland? Found a few sites that are happy to ship to the UK, but their sites do not remove the VAT when you select UK as a shipping address which surely means you will end up paying VAT twice?

Probably not, they are meant to charge you VAT and then pay the VAT to the UK. That is why a lot of companies in the EU are now not wanting to send to the UK as it is an added expense/hassle for them to collect the VAT for the the UK.

Edit, see it has already been mentioned, not sure why your question was the last I saw until I posted

Not getting anywhere talking to them, they don't seem to understand what I'm trying to ask. If anyone has successfully ordered one of these recently let me know where from

Look on the previous page; someone imported one recently!

I'm going through the process of grey importing right now. I asked the dealer to provide me a quote without local tax, because that's how it works now UK is not in EU. I then paid by paypal - separate to the website. One pays VAT & Customs when in arrives in UK instead. The local tax where I bought it is evidently 23%, so that's 3% more than here. Once the customs fee is added there won't be too much difference. I was supplied a tracking number today, so there is a package on the way.

From whom did you order from? The dealers that I messaged either didn't understand or didn't reply when I asked about an invoice without local VAT.

ask weldes how they do it?

From what I read a few pages back weldes are not currently shipping to the UK. I emailed them anyway.

Hi everyone, just joined lurked for …ever , I have a dc tig and am looking to go to an ac/dc with as many features as I can grab and have been looking at Sherman’s , the import charge scares me so after looking I have found these guys https://www.greyeagleshop.co.uk/welding?page=3
Who look to have a small selection of Sherman’s in the uk, about 2 miles from my house (Rotherham) I’ve emailed them yesterday to confirm and I’ll report back once/if they respond, I also emailed weldes with the question of how much posted to me, as the website is not very clear.

I don't think weldes.de will ship to the UK; they removed us from their shipping options - if I recall they might have actually stated that somewhere in this epic thread so I'd be interested to know if they do reply.

The Grey Eagle Shop is/was, AFAIK, a Polish concern and they did carry on shipping the original Jasic-clone Sherman to the UK after weldes.de stopped... I'm not convinced that the machines on the website you've linked to actually are in the UK... if you look at the links at the bottom of the page, most of them are dead - don't go anywhere. Also, I was bored so had a look at the address on Google maps and it looks very much more like an office than a unit that holds stock? Might be wrong!

Weldes.co.uk has the Sherman 206p acdc listed, it was unavailable, but now £630. I think they shipping but you are but your paying more for it, they were £430 or so.

I just tried buying the original Sherman 206P at weldes.de and the price there has gone up to €690 there, but when I get to shipping...

Try here, they disabled UK orders on the german site before I got mine.

I've already got one; got the machine and pedal from welded.de for £500 last year - I'm just curious!

No joy

Got a nice email back from weldes , they have removed the uk from the mail list and will only post to mainland Ireland. So at least we now know for sure

You could use a forwarding address to get around it. Would increase your shipping costs a bit though.

greyeagleshop got back to me and will send me an invoice without VAT. Looks like its going to be around £650 including a foot pedal once Ive paid all the tax and fees.

Still a big saving over by the "orange" one. But certainly not the same level of bargain as a year ago.

For sure, and it does seem as though everything has gone up in price recently, especially anything that uses silicon and welders use heaps of the stuff.

I'm certainly not going to quibble over £150, I'll probably spend that much on consumables the first time I try to weld alu anyway

I ended up buying a secondhand multi pulse Sherman , that had hardly been used and came with a big box of consumables and stick rods , had my first go at alloy and it’s a lot better than I was expecting my first run and a repair job on some manifolds that had been drilled for nitrous ports
