New UK Retailer

Post by Mike Lewis »

Having tried to find someone in the UK to buy the starter sets and starter expansions from who actually had stock I failed to find anyone.

So, as I am really enjoying the game, I have taken the plunge and bought in some Federation Commander stock in myself in the hope that it will help other people get into the game.

I initially have stock of Klingon and Romulan border, the two attack sets and the associated boosters plus the initial squadron boxes.

I only have a couple of copies of each and will put them up on the online shop after Christmas, this is just a heads up to anyone who is interested.

I can also special order in any ADB products - takes 3-4 weeks but saves you on VAT and import duty.

Many thanks

Mike

How exactly do you avoid VAT and other taxes?

As a retailer I am buying through the UK Distributor at a discount. If you buy from em you aren't paying VAT and import duty for goods coming in from the USA.

Well, I suspect that the wholesaler paid the VAT and duties and passed them on, but the whole equation is rather complicated.

I just want to add to this.
I've ordered a few things over the past couple of months from Mike at Black Hat Miniatures, and I have been very impressed with his service!
