Honeycomb Bravo throttle - what to do?

[ark4diusz 324]

Hello, 

I am interested in buying the Bravo when it will be available. I am from Europe (Poland). Is it safer choice from your experience (in terms of possible ordering process and time) to preorder now from Aerosoft or wait till the order will be available on official HoneyComb website and try order from there? 

Best, 
Arek

they just sent out a note saying supply shortages for parts will delay production further.  Have you tried Googling local electronic stores?  I was able to find one at Best Buy in Canada quite by surprise and they had a few in stock.

3299Kr = £276. Ouch! RRP in the UK is £239.99 . hate to think what it would be with shipping, VAT and customs added on. Thanks Brexit.🙄

3299kr is with Swedish VAT at 25%, you will only pay UK VAT i think.

Ok, that would take it to about £230 before postage and customs, so let's be generous and say £20 for postage (I assume "Fri frakt över 500 kr" is for domestic orders only). VAT at 20% is added to that total. No idea what UK customs will add on top of that as it's so complicated now that you have to phone their helpline! (Thanks again Brexit!🤬) and the courier will also ad their admin charge (even the Royal Mail, despite the Customs and Excise office being in the same Mount Pleasant sorting office building that imports via London go through.🙄 ).

I suppose someone desperate enough to get it might risk importing from the likes of Sweden, but post-Brexit it's just a risky and potentially very expensive business.😒

Unfortunately they are not sending outside Sweden 😞

Ordering from Aerosoft will cost you ~€ 260 uncluding VAT and shipping, but you'll probably have to preorder.
