What do you want to know?
I posted my email replies from ELC earlier in this thread.
Their initial reply when I asked about VAT was;
"The price you see on the website doesn't include VAT to the US, so the price you see is the price you would pay (plus postage of course)."
This seemed a bit misleading...so I asked again, and their reply was;
"Because we sell internationally, to keep things simple, we have the same price for everyone - for sales in the UK, we absorb the VAT element."
Aero's initial reply when I asked the question "The prices shown on the Aero web site...are they VAT included?
If not, do you charge VAT on sales within the UK?" was;
"Hi, only on sales within the UK or Europe"
which again, could be taken several different ways.
So, I subsequently asked;
"If somebody were to buy a jacket that is listed for £500 on your web site, and they lived in the UK, how much would the final charge be?
£500, or £500 plus VAT?"
to which Aero replied;
"they would pay £500.."

I hope you jest! None of this ever for one minute made me feel otherwise. I'm not even really mad at Aero. ELC rubbed me wrong with their reply to a member here, but whatever.
I can't wait to come back the the UK. We simply didn't get enough time there and are dying to go back - after the Olympics!

Speaking of which, just as an FYI, I have not gotten any response to my request that the thread on the FL be reopened or pinned.
I don't mean to call people out without cause, but it's hard to have a conversation about something if a thread is locked down and the mod won't even respond to a PM. (I had to send it here because I don't yet have that "privilege" at the other place. What a sensible system that is. :roll: ) I assume that any effort to restart the discussion at the FL or, heaven forbid, discuss the decision to lock down the first thread would result in a deletion and a banning.
IMO, as long as it's respectful, more speech is better than less speech. Let people decide for themselves after all perspectives have an equal chance at being aired.
