From 1st Feb 2012, the forum discount code CBFORUM will achieve �35.00 discount, instead of the current �50.00

I take it if you ordered before end of Jan it will still be �50 off.

How customised can you make your bats?

I so wanted to buy Black cat But shipping to USA is 35 pounds which kills the deal.. There should be some other way around this..

How does shipping work out? Different brands and stores quote different prices for shipping bats ranging from 20 pounds to 40 pounds for shipping a bat to US/Canada. I know there is a difference between courier and Royal Mail so probably retailers could provide the option.

Rajesh, shouldnt you get the Vat taken off if you are buying from USA?
Not sure how this works but just a thought.

Yep, the VAT is taken off but you need to add the extra shipping cost and it comes back to square one

OH, I didn't know Charlie will take the VAT off for USA customers. It would be easier for USA customer to buy bats if VAT is taken off. As Kaustav said, it will come ouit to be same...

Nah - on a �250 bat you pay around �42 of VAT. If, say, you got Charlie to do a deal whereby instead of your Forum discount he provided free shipping, that'd made the bat circa �210 delivered...

It was a general comment without taking the forum discount into account. What I meant was for non-UK customers the removal of the Vat kind of takes care of the extra shipping cost so the cup remains half-full/ half-empty depending on how you look at it

but once vat is removed, most often the packages have the estimated value of goods stated so you are hit again with customs/duty charges. basically cup remains more empty then full..

i'm pretty sure Charlie is not a VAT registered ... so no VAT discount unfortunately

yeah shipping to US/Canada is big factor and customs on top of that

In my experience the cheapest shipping to Canada is thehut at 0.99 GBP (that is not a typo) but you are gambling on the product, in my case i was lucky with 2 bats and unlucky with a bag. After that only one with cheapish shipping is prodirect at abt 17GBP (was superfast - 3 days) everyone else is 35-40 GBP range..

may i also add that only site that took VAT off was Prodirect others dont seem to so i am assuming their prices do not include vat

Sportsdirect needs your accountant to e-mail them a copy of a whole lot of rubbish...lol

Talent cricket, our own Asad Bhai, Paul, cricketdirect etc. all deduct VAT.
