Workshop storage of small stuff

Cool if you have a monstrous shed and can afford the wasted space, but because they made their own drawer slides that thing is twice the depth it needs to be, and the back half is just full of fresh air

That is sweet. Would like to see a few more pics. Is it 3 bearings top and bottom for each side of the drawer. I was thinking that the bottom bearings for one drawer were they top bearings for the next drawer, but this can’t be the case

Amazon UK prices in euro are the price you pay.

If the item is despatched by Amazon then you'll never get a customs charge. If it's despatched by someone else there's a small chance of a charge but Amazon will refund you.

Good to know.

Important reminder for online shoppers

Today, (20/11/2023), Revenue issued a timely reminder to online shoppers that, where the price of goods advertised online seems attractively low, this may be because tax and duty has not been included in the price advertised, or because the goods may be counterfeit.

Important reminder for online shoppers​

Today, (20/11/2023), Revenue issued a timely reminder to online shoppers that, where the price of goods advertised online seems attractively low, this may be because tax and duty has not been included in the price advertised, or because the goods may be counterfeit.

Customs duties and import VAT charges do not apply when ordering goods from Ireland or other EU countries online, however, almost all goods arriving from non-EU countries will be liable to import tax and duties. Consumers also need to remember that parcel operators typically charge a separate administration fee. Where the price advertised is not inclusive of these costs, additional charges may apply once the goods arrive in Ireland.

Speaking about the additional charges which may arise when buying goods online from non-EU countries Ms. Maureen Dalton, Head of Revenue’s South East Frontier Management Branch, advised:

“All goods will be liable to VAT, whilst goods with a customs value of more than €150 will be liable to both Customs Duty and VAT. This means, for example, that an item of clothing bought online from the US or UK, at an equivalent cost of €250, could cost in the region of €97 extra for Customs Duty, VAT, insurance, and handling fees.
Before deciding to buy goods online, shoppers should therefore check whether the advertised price includes any taxes, duties or administrative fees applicable. This will ensure that they are not faced with unexpected charges on delivery.
Consumers should also be aware that a ‘.ie’ domain name does not necessarily mean that the seller is based in Ireland. Shoppers can check where a business is based by reading through the ‘About’, ‘Contact us’ and ‘Terms and Conditions’ sections of its website.”

Consumers should also be aware that counterfeit goods are seized by Revenue at the point of importation. During the course of 2022, Revenue seized counterfeit goods worth almost €5.8 million.

Commenting on the risks associated with counterfeit goods, Ms. Dalton cautioned:

“Imitation brand clothing, runners, handbags and mobile devices are among the counterfeit goods most commonly seized by Revenue. Some of these goods are not subject to regulation in the country where they are made and are often of a poor quality, which fails to conform with accepted safety standards.
Shoppers should therefore take care when purchasing goods online, both from a health and safety perspective, and from the perspective of making sure that they don’t suffer a financial loss when the goods they purchase are seized because they are counterfeit.”

Summarising her advice to consumers, Ms Dalton concluded:

“When shopping online, shoppers should be mindful that some deals are too good to be true, and what looks like a good decision to buy can ultimately be an expensive, or even dangerous one.”

Further information on tax and duty charges that may arise on goods bought online for personal use can be found on the Revenue website, which is accessible here. Additionally, if any businesses or members of the public have information regarding the smuggling or sale of counterfeit goods, they can contact Revenue in confidence on free phone number 1800 295 295.

So went into the shop today, and I got so flustered I had €540 spend in 10 minutes with a helpful salesman leading me by the nose. I’m going to have to return two items as they are way over priced 🤦, no prices on the shelves was the killer.

Is there value there ?

I got a couple of things first that were good value, went back around the shop and picked up a decent box of rubber O rings that turned out to be €120 and an assortment of bolts that were €150. I have a couple of things to order off the website and will drop in to collect them later in the week and return those 2 items :crying:

I'd want a wheelbarrow full of O rings for €120. 😵‍💫
And , I'd like to think that you'd find it
necessary to have the wheelbarrow to haul €150 worth of ordinary bolts . Obviously , steel bolts , or special type add up a lot quicker.

That's actually a jack off a nh 719 harvester. There's a caster wheel attached to the base plate and the spring is on it to float. It will be put on a 15 foot gate to support it as we are going sheeting it as its by the road to stop the neighbour looking in when he passes. It's ready to go onto the gate 6 years anyway. I got the sheeting in January. It's progress!!!!
