by White Van Man » Mon Aug 31, 2015 7:29 pm
Anybody ?, Given up with Custom and Commercial ever getting in stock the ones I want,and Evam Classics haven't got them in their current shipment either.
KF341 & KF330. Figured may as well get direct from the metal master hisself.

You can buy direct but you have to pay C&C the UK value, then the import tax on top to the UK shipper, this is what we did a few months ago.

Check the two U.S. distributors too. They have better stock levels.

You still pay postage and import tax on top but you get your panels in a week instead of a year.

I bought a couple of panels in to share postage with a mate and it worked out ok.

I had a similar issue waiting for panels, phoned them up direct paid with a card and they arrived 2 weeks later. Be aware that the import tax & VAT will make them more expensive generally than buying from C&C

I got them fine, spoke with a lovely lady in Bogota and Gerson himself. I had been waiting 4 months to get them from C&C

Slow replying ,yeah I initially asked C&C in 2014, for collection at VooWoo,then it was BugJam, then it was,then it was,see the theme here.
Evam is good and helpful ,with a good stock,but it goes quickly,even of items I don't want.
The 2 I need are KF330 & KF341, not in a massive rush, but before cars are outlawed from the roads I'd like to drive my bus.
I shall message Gerson and see what happens, or a U.S Supplier/stockist.
