Bumgenius advice pls

Postby gem1981 » Sat Jul 05, 2008 8:26 pm

I'd like to try the bumgenius v3, but I reckon it would be cheaper to order from USA, could someone please tell me:
a. if it will work out any cheaper after postage?
b. where I could order from that will send to UK?
Thanks ladies

I've never taken the risk of ordering anything from abroad incase I get stung with customs charges, as Royal Mail add on £8 to whatever it is.

Really I didn't know that. I have ordered several times from Green kids and not been hit but must have got lucky. I always feel so bad about the air miles though takes the edge of the fluff buzz :hohoho:

I think that you might find it hard to get a supplier to ship BGs out of the US as the manufacturer of BGs doesnt allow it anymore. I might be wrong though, but I am sure I read this a while ago.

You're right, they won't ship outside USA

I've just been looking on ebay and there are some being sold in US with prices to ship to UK. There's one with a BIN price of $130/£66 for six v3.0 BGs inc inserts. P&P is $34.50, so about £18, but as others have said, that doesn't include custom charges.

Just to say if you buy off ebay - your guarantee will be void,so if you have any problems with the Bg's you're stuck with them. :cry:

Before blueberry cracked down on exports I ordered some from the US but was lucky enough to escape customs but it's hit and miss really :D

We've got one of each type of BG V1 V2 and V3 and there doesn't seem to be any performance difference between them :roll:
