:lol: good response. I feel for you. Any chance you can cancel your order before it's shipped, receive a full refund and then cop off Tutor?

I've never paid import duty on anything from MPC Stuff, albeit only pad sensors and a few buttons. Something to do with being identified by the sender as a gift? Possibly, im not sure.

But yes, UK and EU members should support Tutor's project if possible, and put the word out that pads/fat pads are available right here in blighty free of import duty.

Maybe some marketing or a site banner would help tutor, if that is permitted by the distribution deal. Even a presence on eBay UK would be cool.

Should be going officially live with the MPC parts store in the next couple of weeks, just ironing out some details. I'll definitely have some pads for sale and hopefully some 1000/2500 screens

Regarding import duty and VAT for commercial goods sent from US to UK:

Hi MPC tutor,

great site.

Do you have a site selling MPC thick pads compatible with the MPC 500?
MPCstuff.com wont even ship the UK at all at the moment unless its >£150

or do you have any stock I could buy directly?
