What to Do with October 31st Looming ?

[Pete]

I need to order a number of 2020 coins to continue my sets and these are slowly appearing on the GS.be site for pre-order.
The unknown of VAT post October 31st is concerning.
Anyone who has purchased from GS.be know that you can build an order and have it shipped as one lot to keep the cost of shipping reasonable but when you pre-order they will not ship until the complete order becomes available. Delays that force shipping after October 31st could mean, aside from unknown delays, the dreaded 20% VAT.

Can I risk adding this needed coin or wait ?

[Martlet]

I wouldn't risk it, not known for flexibility.  Wait until the last week of October.

I wouldn't bother with a 10oz Budgie, Pete, buy half a sov instead. 🤣🦜

Got loads of HS but my nice bespoke wooden box is crying out for the 10oz QB.

Look like we’re going for another general election in November:)

[ChrisF]

I got my order shipped as I was not willing to risk VAT on my existing orders.  GSBE while cheap can delay deliveries and go out of stock leaving you with a headache.  I'm waiting to see what happens before starting another order.

defo another election soon 

may be better to go on holiday to collect the collection instead of the 20% vat

@musketsmoke has the right idea. Just go on holiday to Belgium or Estonia. Flights would probably cost the same as the shipping with Ryanair!

Ive timed it to perfection  - prior to 31st!!   you can (and I have) carry up to £10,000 in pm's and don't get even questioned - -

other than "OOOH can I have a look"- which in Greek is  - - OOOH Μπορώ να ρίξω μια ματιά

[musketsmoke]

correction a third leg and  kevlar undies to carry that weight 

 

[5huggy]

230grams???  Absolutely nothing - - Four new Energizer brand AA batteries weighed 94.78 grams, or 189.6 grams for eight.

[5huggy]

2 years ago , I took nearly 1.5 kilo - mixed between Au and Ag  - so im not restricted in any way - as "officially" wifey can carry the same quantity!

[sixgun]

i wonder what will happen to the sale prices on the forum if the legal opportunity to import low VAT - VAT free silver into the UK disappears.

[5huggy]

Im going to Confess now - @Miganto  I was raised in Lemessos from 3 years old to 9 years 

I lived on Makarios avenue, Lemessos -

I am going "HOME" before long to retire there as I fell in love at a young age  and have been taking my wife back every year (and more) for the last 19 years

I have a shoot load of Greek Cypriot friends and I want to "CHECK OUT" with Aphrodite! (BTW - the rock I learnt to swim from)

ευχαριστώ φίλε μου και καληνύχτα.
Ελπίζω να κοιμηθείτε καλά και να έχετε γλυκά όνειρα με το μωρό σας

[Murph]

Not that I know more than a few words in modern greek.
