zeitz Posted February 16, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone in the US successfully bought anything from Meisters? For a small 150 Euro item, they want 199 Euro for UPS shipping. And the only payment method is by bank transfer. Also I didn't find anything about avoiding VAT.

And the only payment method is by bank transfer. Also I didn't find anything about avoiding VAT. I have sent a claim about this to them yesterday, as their answer was not convincing me I wrote an another claim. They asked 25 euros for shipping a lens cap Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

k_g_wolf ✝ Posted February 19, 2012 Share #6 Posted February 19, 2012 Actually MEISTER is a very good source to deal with. As far as postage is concerned, you could ask them for an alternativ, esp. considering the cost of the item. St. Gandy knows how to do it cheaper the other way. I recently sent an insured package (containing a LEICA- M lens) from Germany to the Netherlands: DHL-postage was an incredible EUR 60,00). So double to the US from Europe sounds close to normal. Times are changing, there seem to be a lot of security checks nowadays. Best GEORG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
