I barely went over $800, 8 + years ago when I ordered my first one it was a tad over $1100, this time I added a pee valve and telescoping (not an option then) and a plastic zip (also not an option then) otherwise it’s the same suit and used the measurements from then only having to add the foot length one other that they didn’t ask for then.
Lol.. a little rich for my blood, but maybe every 4 or 5 who knows.
People seem to buy a lot if unnecessary add on’s , when you read most of the descriptions they explain that most are unnecessary but provide them if you want them. Exchange rate is not as good as it was a few months ago.
Makes sense.. I was just quoting suit by itself (and I think shipping).
Mine was £1,120.09 but that includes Kubi rings. I did all my extras on a separate order to avoid 24% tarrif. Shipping was less than the tax to keep it on 1 order.
Like a 24% tax? Wow.. shows me what little I know about the world. I had no idea it could be that high. I didn't even attempt to split the order up.
If I remember correctly @Marie13 said our drysuits are 4% and anything not the drysuit is near 24%. That is for anything over $800 total order cost (not just that shipment). I split mine up with 2 orders. Suit shipped @ $1200 and all my undies, glove side rings and extras shipped @ $575 ish. The $75 shipping is less than the import tax by about $50
Duty on garments - which is what the drysuit undies are - is quite high.
