  1. so how exactly does duties work...i purchased a  j46-s and duties came out to $30 at 2% rate 

    how are some of you guys getting $150 in duties/taxes

    Duties, if issued by a government official, are completely arbitrary.

     

    There are rules regarding percentage charged for import which depend on material, country of origin/primary manufacture a host of other factors - then there are trade agreement considerations.

     

    However, if you buy from a company that uses a brokerage (like Fedex/UPS), they will charge you a standard fee dependent on the amount you've declared and a general schedule they have.  If you have the time and inclination (it can be worth it), you can claim the duties yourself and waive "their" duties and their brokerage fee.

     

     

    Basically, it's a crap shoot with a lot of weird rules depending on where you live and what your country's import laws/officers are like.

  2. anyone know when stockists get their FW15-16 Stock?

    i think most stores are dropping at the same time as the acrnm site (this coming tuesday.)

     

    I just wish we had a preview of the actual items

  3. The goretex they're using for the Galvanic can't be the same fabric they used for the previous generation can it?

     

    I've sent mine in, and I'd rather not go through the trouble of replacing it agian.

  4. From my experience with them, they only have one point woman for online order customer service. If you do get her on the horn, she is awesome. I get the impression they are understaffed and they operate semi independently of the actual store. I agree with dophinski though, if your orders are in you should get your product. I find the website reconciles it's inventory pretty quickly.
