RE: UK orders
As far as I know Prusa ships products worldwide every day so they perfectly know how to. And I am sure they want to ship to UK as usually.
But the couriers are the ones that stoped shipments because there is no clear procedures fo how to import products into UK. Not only Prusa is affected but all markets are affected.
So there is no need to Prusa do anything, is the UK to set up their import procedures and implement them (They had time to do so...) in order to fix this mess.
RE: UK orders
@gonper it’s all sorted and working again now.

@paulb
Hope this means my MK3 kit will ship earlier than expected.
I am chomping at the bit waiting to see when it will be shipped, will be 2 weeks on Friday so suspect at least another week to wait.
Fingers crossed 🤞
Tank you very much!
RE: UK orders
It looks like Prusa are lagging behind, missed the boat, or just dragging there feet.... Ordered from bits from Bondech a Swedish company, and a headset from Steelseries a Danish company with no problems atoll delivering to UK. You can read into this however you see fit.
Perhaps Mr Prusa should be spending less time on his uTube videos and more on his companies priorities.
I live in UK and I wanted to buy a couple of Prusa printers but I can't do it anymore because of the brexit. I am very upset about this, but we have to admit UK messed everything up with this brexit. Is not Prusa fault and it is not the only company from Europe that stopped delivering to UK. If you really have to put the blame on something, then blame brexit. It is 21st century and UK is closing the gates to the biggest market nearby. We f***ed it up big time and Europe has nothing to do with it.

@marius-chirita
There are no issues buying from Prusa to the UK. It's all sorted.
You just pay the tax to DHL instead of Prusa.
As you will see above many many orders delivered since the start of the year
Tank you very much!

@clarmrrsn
Hi, Do you know how much customs tax is ?
RE: UK orders
The tax is just 20% VAT pus a handling fee which I understand is £11.
Prusa don’t charge the VAT.

@paulb
Bet you are like a kid waiting for Christmas morning 😜
Tank you very much!
RE: UK orders
@clarmrrsn I am kind of, it's my birthday too next Tuesday, but arrival by then feels unlikely. Probably for the best, otherwise I would be rather unsociable.
RE: UK orders
Its just been collected, sadly I need to wait a week now, it's due next Thursday!
RE: UK orders
@paulb
Know that one, is my birthday a week on Friday, Be exactly 3 weeks since order.
Think will be a late Birthday this year 🙁
You would have a very good reason to be unsociable!
Tank you very much!
RE: UK orders
@ken. Am hoping my delivery follows your schedule. Yours departed Brussels Saturday morning and was delivered Tuesday, mine has just departed Brussels but is scheduled for delivery on Thursday. Let’s hope they dont keep to that!
RE: UK orders
@paulb
Mine was meant to arrive on the Wednesday so was a bit surprised to see it on the Tuesday - now to finish building it

Happy birthday to the both of us tomorrow, my printer is due to arrive on Thursday too 🙂
Ordered a MINI+ (assembled) with Sensor and Galaxy Black filament, can't wait!
RE: UK orders
@sethrith happy birthday. My order is almost the same, I just added some white filament and a bigger nozzle. Frustratingly, it’s been sitting in East Midland airport since Saturday morning! Looks like Thursday is likely if the continue at this pace.
RE: UK orders
Happy to say that it arrived this afternoon, and is printing a whistle at the moment!
Most exciting present this year!
RE: UK orders
@paulb
Who is a lucky boy.
I am currently messing around with a cheap Core XY Chinese printer till my Prusa arrives.
I am willing it along, but doesn't seem to be helping 🙄
Tank you very much!
