Premium Member wessie Posted August 16, 2015 Premium Member Share Posted August 16, 2015 It looks lovely but £520 is quite a heady mark up on the $452 price in the USA. At current exchange rates $452 is £288 http://corbin-europe.com/dual-saddle-for-2014-2015-yamaha-fj-09l-mt09-not-heated.html More pictures here http://corbin.com/yamaha/yfj09r.shtml This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

Premium Member wessie Posted August 17, 2015 Author Premium Member Share Posted August 17, 2015 I emailed the importer, who states the difference in price is due to UK import duty & VAT at 20% However, as I have put up the link, Mark at Battistini's will give forum members a 5% discount. Email him direct at sales@corbin-europe.com or ring +44 (0)1202 950293 Obviously, this discount is for UK & EU sales. Other duty rates may apply to non-EU countries and you may have a local importer. Corbin USA will not ship into an area where they have a local importer. This signature is left blank as the poster writes enough pretentious bollocks as it is.

liam876 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Corbin USA will not ship into an area where they have a local importer. This is exactly why I no longer have any interest in the Corbin. Vat at 20% does not even come close to justifying that sort of price hike. If it wasn't a case of just trying to rip us off they would allow us to order from the US. If they are to be believed this wouldn't work out any cheaper anyway as we'd have to pay vat and shipping ourselves at an even higher rate as we wouldn't get bulk shipping discounts.
