I was hoping to get some opinion/advice from anyone who has bought anything online from Germany before. In particular, there is this company: http://www.ma-shops.com/?lang=en And, if I was to buy and import something that exceeded the $1000 GST threshold, even if it was 9999 pure gold, would it incur GST? Just curious if anyone has any info they'd like to share, thank you
hello, ma-shop include many shops, at this time, i made some orders with no problems (i live in france); prices are a little high but they have choice. about tax, i don't know, you should contact them. i have some address, what kind of product do you search ? i'll give you www if i can. (and sorry for my english...)
I have bought online from both Germany and sites like ma-shops and Vcoins before without any problems. These sites are like a central listing sites for a lot of different dealers, and I have noticed the listings are often cheaper if you purchase the same item direct from their online-store if possible. After contacting the dealer directly, good communication has often avoided import duties for me by agreeing to a "more favourable" item description and value on the postal forms.
Hello The item I am interested in is this: http://www.ma-shops.com/won/item.php5?id=118&lang=en&curr=EUR Also I am not sure about the payment method: They only accept 'Wire Transfer'. I guess there is no real alternative available though, if I was selling internationally I'd probably ask the same.
