All of them are dead as a doornail !!

the EU regulations make buying abroad a very very expensive experience .

And as our customs are trained to sofisticate all foreign parcels ..............................

so hoping for someone inner-eu who has one for sale at a normal price .

On this post, they say you should use Etsy when located in EU.

viewtopic.php?t=4407

Etsy states on their homepage, that if the seller buys the shipping label from Etsy, then the IOSS electronic registration is sent by Etsy, thus the receiver (you) will not receive an extra customs fee.

Not sure where you are based, but if you are in the UK, you can purchase the vLA replacement ULA's from https://www.retrorevivalshop.co.uk/prod ... ment-ulas/

as far as i know UK is not part of the eu ..................................


and our customs like to "reward" the buyer with about doubling the price and then charging 21% vat .

All strict according EU regulations to protect the eu-inner manufacturers .


Oh , i did not know anyone is making ula replacements in the eu :-(
