Flatpup pickups - UK supplier?

Posted by Clarky on February 19, 2015 at 7:49am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

I've heard a lot about these and am keen to try them, but I only ever see them for sale in the US.  Is there anyone in the UK who sells these?  Or does everyone else who uses them in the UK just import them from the US?  The thing with that is I thought you would get stung by customs, so it would make them pretty expensive.

If I can't buy them I might have a go at making one :)

    I love that picture.  Look at him struggling to swallow peasant food!

    I'm not voting for any of them.  I'll vote for the party that makes getting cbg parts in the UK easier and cheaper :)

      well if you don't vote then you can't moan if things don't go the way you wish and this goes for any one else in the UK.

      we need to get out of the EU before they choke us to death and loose our identity and freedom that our forefathers fought for..the EU is not and wont be accountable nor will they signe off where the money is being spent.we're putting in more than we are getting out so where the logic in that?

      you have to look where the politicians who work over there,they've never been so well off with tax payers money.

      any get back to cbg's and try and keep politics out of this forum.

        what ever you do don't vote labour.

        how can we have a prime minister who can't even chew a bacon sarnie.

    Thanks for the info, on looking into it further I think I wouldn't get hit for customs charges but I would have to pay VAT.  I'll look into it further, I don't mind spending decent money on parts but being stung by the UK government, especially when they let the likes of Amazon, Starbucks etc off without paying tax (ooh I'm getting political) it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. :)

      Hi Clark, which one would you like? My site says the shop is closed;  anyways feel free to drop me line ;-)

      Austria still is in the EU and the UK more or less too ;-)    ...pssst! my mail address is flatpup@gmx.at

      • Slowpaw Steve T > Elmar Zeilhofer February 19, 2015 at 10:21am

        I think Britain will stay in the EU if they leave our pints and sausages alone... ;-)

    Elmar is only able to make a limited amount of flat pups per month. I believe he is currently looking at April before he will be able to deliver any.

    I can make them and send to the UK, and the first class mail shipping will most likely be under $10 USD, but I have no idea what customs fees or duties might apply on the UK side.
