Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
But wouldn't the 'retail price' also be plus VAT?

“To expedite delivery and due to the logistics involved with this project, rewards will be shipped direct from the Far East where we will be temporarily based to personally oversee final Quality Control, checking and shipping.”
They will be temporarily based in Far East, this could suggest that future shipments will be from UK. Possible but uncertain.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
As you can probably tell, I’m trying to talk myself into giving this one a miss

I still think it's good value at £360ish after tax.TheBeatles wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 1:14 pmI agree, if 20% + admin fees etc are added then it brings any Kickstarter price closer to his retail figure of £449.It'sAliveJim wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 1:00 pm
I wonder if that will change. Most buyers will be from the EU and will be a bit miffed that a UK company is now forcing them to pay an extra 20% + admin fee to receive their watch. Interesting choice of shipment.
Hardly an incentive therefore to get in early. Some backers from his last campaign who have backed this one may not realise that things have changed

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
You’re probably right. It’s just that damn timescale puts me off. I waited 6 months for my Formex watches and am now 3 months away from the Hamtuns. This one would put me another 6 months from a delivery.
I’m an impatient so and so, and like to open boxes right away. I can handle Next Day delivery at a push. Luckily the members I’ve bought from on here have obliged.
You should see me trying to keep away from Christmas presents under the tree before morning.

Apparently there's been some QC problems
Backed another project, Alexander James NDR1, and that's run into problems that's delaying shipping
Kind of puts me off backing any other Kickstarter projects.
Having said that I have backed the Newmark 71 (@£299) but have until 24hrs prior to the funding deadline to keep or pull out.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
If the offers fails to mention additional costs due to import duties etc then wouldn't this constitute breach of contract with regards to the offer price and therefore grounds for refusing to accept the goods and refuse payment? The info gives a price with delivery free.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
I thought the Kickstarter campaign did say it was shipping from out the EU and there might be duty due on delivery?

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
I was 50/50 about backing this one, but I decided not to bother. Don’t know if Kickstarter is for me, I’ve got very frustrated at times already during the Hamtun to the point that the gloss has gone off it. Shame really as I also had my eye on the Akura Wayfarer due to launch next month but I don’t think I can be bothered with another KS campaign watch.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Delivery is free. Duties and taxes are not part of the delivery fee. They never are unless explicitly stated as being included in the delivery fee. Also, the KS page clearly states that duties and taxes may be incurred and are your responsibility. This is no different than any other KS campaign, or in fact any other international delivery.Galton321 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2019 8:29 pm If the offers fails to mention additional costs due to import duties etc then wouldn't this constitute breach of contract with regards to the offer price and therefore grounds for refusing to accept the goods and refuse payment?

Formex and Hamtun will be enough Kickstarter for me.
I just hope the Hamtuns are half as good as my 2 Formex.

Re: Newmark 71 Sports diver
Not due until September
Looking like (at the moment), that the Newmark might not reach goal.
