Padfix(good news EU ppl!)

So i just received this from VST services

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes we should hopefully be getting the kits in the next couple weeks and we can definitely ship to Europe. The kit will cost $179 and the cheapest shipping option to Europe is about $30-35. If you’d like to place an order please e-mail me your full name and shipping address, and I’ll put you on the order list.

Now i just hope that i don't have to pay **** taxes or import rights, because the last time i ordered something through ebay, the postal service in the netherlands would ask extra money for this shit.. *ssholes

cheers bees, that's good to know. i think you probably will be charged duty on the pads though, unless you're lucky.

that's definitely good news.
i'm glad you decided to contact nick and make this post for all the people in europe.

yeah.... just hope the duty tax won't be too high for you guys. but atleast you won't have to wait until akai gets them over in europe, since that might take a bit longer.

yeah, it seems to be alittle hit and misss here, sometimes i get charged, other times not.

if anyone (trustworthy) is going to japan, perhaps they could offer a group buy?

I know a trustworthy forum member living in Japan. I'll hit you up on the PM.

yeah, thanks a lot for your info though, you kinda like make me do it, lol

anyhow, i've been like buying shoe's like crazy from ebay and never got charged for import costs or stuff, but lately it seems they are checking it out..

but, im happy with the info,though i'm not happy with the costs of it, but the only thing i could actually do is go to akai headquarterz in the netherlands with some spraycans and bomb that shit lol.. nevermind .. or uhm, maybe if they read my signature

I got a homie who is a forum member goin' to Japan soon too. So that can be a backup plan kinda. Just in case.

How are these pads different from the ones that VST already carries?

nobody knows, yet

so........
i'm in japan! give me a link where ther at plz. i doubt shimamura has em in stock, they didn't even know what the hd-10 was

my question got answered over phone to vst

i normally request that when they post it from ebay or what not to tick the box that says Gift or to tell the postal office its a gift. never been charge import
