hiwin rail question

[IanS1]

I've just bought HIWIN rails/blocks from a UK supplier.

HGW blocks - £32.58 each
480mm Rail - £40.61 each

So that works out to about £105.77 including VAT for pretty much the same thing.

There's a good chance you will have to pay 20% VAT on the imported ones. Some of these Chinese listings are really pushing there luck on some adverts, don't always assume they will be way cheaper than you can buy from a UK supplier.
