delfinis38 1 Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Any good or bad vibes about ordering from ESC Tuning in the states ? Never normally buy stuff from out of the UK... Is shipping and import duty expensive. Just looking at ARZ tuning too.. Guess they are an okay company. Edited August 17, 2016 by delfinis38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanl82 23 Posted August 17, 2016 Not heard of ESC, but I've bought stuff from ARZ before and yes shipping was very expensive (€30 for q shoebox sized package), it arrived in 3 days! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice chap. yer was really impressed with their customer service, shame i fell out with them for putting the full charger value (the value shown on the outside being the figure they use to calculate the tax) on the outside of the box, costing me £750, But in hindsight not their fault. but bloody frustrating from where i was sat.

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted August 17, 2016 ECS are a good bunch, but order stuff through Awesome GTI as they are official importers. Saves you the agro of sorting that yourself! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never had to pay tax before, what percentage would you expect to pay. Thought we were still part of the EU so no import tax as long as I pay the 19% vat in Germany.
