Catch-22 Posted April 9, 2022 Report Share Posted April 9, 2022 Adam MacDonald, the man behind it, is Canadian. Search Autotrickler and his site will come up. Order direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One on top of two Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Make sure you get the wind shield for it as well . Forget that ………..small breeze break comes as standard. I would drop Adam a quick mail to find out waiting times , as you may have to wait a while if he’s busy . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John MH Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 No wind shield provided with V4, it comes with a wind shield lid which replaces the the Fx120 lid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaRue Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Morning.....I ordered my V4 here in the U.K. from a guy called John Mason of Hammer-Pair Performance Ltd. https://www.hammer-pair.com email: sales@hammer-pair.com He was very helpful & I would thoroughly recommend him..... I ordered the scales from OakleyWeigh....https://www.oakleyweigh.co.uk/categories/laboratory-scales/general-purpose-balances/product/a-d-fx-120i-grain-balance-1880-x-0-02gn Also very good to deal with, very helpful people all round.... This combo is a fantastic bit of kit, not cheap but worth it imo. Hope that helps..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 ^^ hmm, seems a huge mark up when compared to ordering direct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLaRue Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 Well unless you have a method to bypass all the import duty, 20% VAT & UK Post Office charges, it worked out to about £510 inc postage. I paid a bit more but it arrived within a month, personally it was worth the extra imo….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I paid a bit more but it arrived within a month, personally it was worth the extra imo….. Despite the duty costs, it seems many here who had ordered the v4 didn’t get charged duty/vat. Autotricker/throw v4: Order direct from Adam = £383 (plus shipping & duty/vat. Call it £530) Older v3 from said U.K. distributor = £695 Difference of £165 A&D FX-120i: From Oakley weigh = £478.80 (current offer). Normally £565 From said U.K. distributor if bought along with v3 Autotrickler = £625 Difference of £146.20 (with offer) or £60 if not on offer. ** costs taken from above mentioned websites today. If you’re aware of the differences in costs and happy to pay them, then more power to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 From reading several posts VAT is not being charged on items coming in from Canada. I believe after we left Europe a trade agreement was made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 I thought that too but omitted it since I couldn’t find the specific U.K. guidance stating it. The various online ‘Duty’ calculators still indicate duty/vat to be paid. But if there is no duty/vat, then the above costs going direct through Adam is even better; around £245 cheaper going direct! Why wouldn’t you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC Posted April 13, 2022 Report Share Posted April 13, 2022 The last 3 items I have ordered privately have all sailed through without duty or VAT. Commercial shipments seem very slow and I suspect we are being given some slack to keep the backlog manageable. Just looking at another order - you know what will happen ….. 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
