I wonder how many of the people who are having problems with ordering/receiving/sending packages and cost escalation, voted for brexit.

That's good Info! so carriage cost you around €30? and the VAT more or less balanced itself out. (except 1%).( but a few quid more into the Irish kitty rather than into the Crowns coffers is always a good thing
)I want an echomax RTE and a class b+ AIS, at least one of these will probably come from Cactus ( I was a bit pee-ed off at my own stupidity in not getting these before Christmas...
Mareshop.eu I found cheap for stuff in the past (Fenders and that type of stuff) or Marine Parts Direct .ie

Without reading the entire thread, may i ask if one can carry personal items up to a certain value duty free, would it not be worth loading the car up & driving to the port in Spain. Having never done it ( or wanted to) I wonder, if it is only short term, a full car load might be an economical way to travel. Especially, if split between 2 or more people. One can take all the tools one needs & bring them back easily enough without worrying about something getting lost en-route.

Yes you have the usual value free. For our drive I will rig up the new boat solars as if they were my camper van fixtures. The antifoul paint will have bits of old paint around the rim etc. The main issue is that if we have to pay then we are on the spot and it should be simple and ( hopefully ) not too bureaucratic !!

Yes, the carriage was approx €21 and the couriers' handling charge was € 10.That's good Info! so carriage cost you around €30? and the VAT more or less balanced itself out. (except 1%).( but a few quid more into the Irish kitty rather than into the Crowns coffers is always a good thing

Likewise a bit pee'ed of that I was too busy in December to turn my mind to making the purchase before New Year.
I did come across Mareshop.eu when I was looking for an exhaust muffler during the summer, but found a better price elswhere, but can't remember where at the moment.
MPD is actually my local chandelry and I get a lot of bits and pieces there but generally shop around for bigger purchases. The post Brexit state affairs may well change the comparison between local and foreign purchases.

Be aware that Credit card Mastercard is to raise the fees it charges EU merchants when UK cardholders buy goods and services from them online by fivefold.
Whether we purchase goods from UK or from EU, US or China, we will have to pay much more than before from now on.

It's the fee that the card company charges the retailer.. currently about 0.2%.
It should not impact the card holder individually ...it may cause increased prices across the board.
But in reality the movement of sterling will have a significantly larger effect on price for uk shoppers...and the lack of the economy of scale and efficiency offered by the previously open borders...
