Hi,

im going to buy the MPC 1000 soon. I'm from norway, and it's so freakin' expensive here that I've decided to go to London and buy it there. (670£ in UK, well over the double price up here. You do the math)

I've found a cheap flight that takes me to Stansted, so I'm just wondering if anyone of the UK headz in here know where I should go look for it. Someplace near Stansted...

Peace.

Can you find a place to ship it to you? Is that an option?

I can't ship it in either, cause then I have to pay taxes for it, and thats like 25 %...

So I have to go into London then? Damn.. .This can get dificult ;)

If I want it shipped into Norway, I'l have to pay 25% taxes. So I have to go to London and buy it there.

Now.......

Can someone tell me which store I should look for, or go to, when I get there?

Peace.

you saying taxes will be more than a trip to london? geez!
anyways, 'turnkey' in london sell most mpcs in their store.
also a store called 'digital village' but i'm not sure they have london store?
also a store called 'soundcontrol' but also i'm not sure if they hold a london store. anways, each these stores have a website, storename.co.uk

goodluck mate

peace

Buddy, I would get as many phone numbers as you can and call a couple of days before you're due to come. I had heard (this isn't definite, just a rumour) that most all places had sold their initial stock and that the next lot isn't coming until February or March. Imagine coming over and going home with nothing, that would suck. Best of luck,,,

Yeah, I was also thinking I'd call, or email (cheaper) a couple of weeks in advance.

I'm not going until February / mid-March, so that's just fine ;)

Ok, but I have to go into the store myself. I live in norway, and buying ofthe internet is not an option. Since I have to pay 25% taxes of all items worth over 20£ ordered from foreign countries.

SO........ Any shops near Stansted? Any shops located so I can easily find them, IN LONDON?
