As much as I'd love to get a new bat via UK - the current Australian dollar is so bad it's infeasible.

Today: £100 = $192 AUD
2013: £100 = $144 AUD

Makes a huge difference when you're buying bats that are £200-250

Add to that cost of shipping. If that was cracked, would have loved to order a UK made Grade 1.

I think the problem is that not that long ago, less then a year, 1GBP was only 1.5CAD so a 100GBP bat would cost 150CAD now the same 100GBP bat is 300 CAD, add on top the customs (which is tax + import fee + processing fee) you end paying a lot more than just tax if you had purchased the bat in Canada for that much money, oh yea and shipping too which seems to have gone up from about 30gbp to 45-60gbp per bat thats a 100 to 120 dollars just for shipping :(

Shipping fluctuates. A single bat to Canada right now is £23 and that's just from the first place I have checked just now.

I am not in control of exchange rates I am afraid chaps. I'm sure it is frustrating when things cost you more than they did in the past, but this topic was simply intended to inform you of the ability to remove VAT from our prices for non-EU customers.

Don't get me wrong Jake, I myself have been waiting patiently for you to be VAT registered as the discount helps. Every little counts. Couple of guys here, myself included, are just venting our frustrations a bit...the joys of being a Non-UK resident.

Sorry, didn't mean to go off piste - it's indeed a great deal for overseas guys - had a enough bats where import duty was missed so more power to the international customers!

Appreciate the heads, up means I can get things delivered when I won't be back in the UK for a while without taking a big hit, but it's not as big a bonus for Norway as many other countries, and that was before the pound had a bit of a revival :)

No problem venting chaps, it just won't do much good as it's all out of my hands unfortunately.

I always try to find the best shipping quote that i can, from a wide range of options for people.

No doubting that Jake, also being VAT registered makes it more attractive for us overseas buyers.
