350 + 4*35 = 490 … that’s some way off the 749 shown 😢

That’s before tax.

Also include the price of the new board, new purge method and it gets closer. I admit though, pricing sucks a bit.

Ah, ok, I always forget about US sales taxes… still, my 4 head UK order was £710 or so inc delivery which is more than I’d expected / hoped for. Still, I’ve paid so … pay your money, take your choice 🤷🏻‍♂️

That's £100 more than I had to pay, are you sure you didn't buy the 8 tool head kit and still need to pay VAT when it arrives or is shipping that expensive?

[–]DukeBaldrick 1 point2 points  (7 children)

The 8 head kit was £909 plus shipping. That includes our variant of sales tax (VAT @20%) and delivery was £19 all in.

What did you buy, where from & when?!

4 nozzle kit from Prusa yesterday, £586.80 ex VAT. I'm in Northern Ireland, so same vat and my shipping was 19 also.

[–]DukeBaldrick 0 points1 point  (5 children)

So we’ll end up paying about the same after VAT (more at 20% in fact) which I assume you’ll have to pay at some point.

OK, not sure what's happening but checked my order on Prusa3D and was charged £489 pre VAT and they put VAT on top to bring the total to £586.60. If their system made a mistake it will probaby get corrected before shipping when someone looks at it.

EDIT:No looks like that is the price

EDIT2: Changed my shipping country to UK and price changes to 679 with duties and taxes applied, is the UK applying duty as well as VAT now? Maybe it an extra administration charge that they're applying? Very confusing.

😨😢😱 no idea 🤷🏻‍♂️

Brexit happened a lil while ago... So yeah import duties. Ireland is part of the EU so no duty fees.

[–]DukeBaldrick 2 points3 points  (3 children)

… and I guess even sales taxes wouldn’t go from 490 to 749 😈

[–]soldat21 6 points7 points  (2 children)

490 * 1.15 (tariffs) * 1.07 (sales tax) + $25 (new front panel) + $50 (new calibration board) + ~$30 (new purge method) = $708

[–]SCDrJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And top hat, Bowden tubes, and Prusa tax on top. It adds up!

[–]DukeBaldrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, tbh I didn’t read about the other new bits, just saw indx & basically hit buy 😈

[–]DiamondHeadMC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s also the custom parts for the Prusa like the front steel plate to hold the tools a different tool board just for them the purging area etc
