Hello,

I saw the prices of props in the USA are a lot less then here in Holland
Has someone experience whith ordering on IBOAT
In Holland a SOLAS New Saturn cost me around 449-499 euro
In the USA the same 335,00 Euro this is incl. shippingcost
There is one different in the ordering
You can mark a box for taxes yes or no
How big is the change that they pick you out for looking your order?

Ordering from i-boats you will more than probably pay import duties...If a private party buys one for you and sends it as a gift now there you stand a chance of skating the system

In other words some here would have to buy it and send it to you as a present..:eek:

Not sure how shipping to Holland works but the thing I like about Iboats and shipping to Canada is that they price in duties, taxes and brokerage. The price you see is the price you pay.
I have in the past, ordered merchandise elsewhere in the US only to be surprised by COD brokerage fees that rival the price of the product.

Second this...give iboats a call and they should be able to give you 'to your door' price.

And a third vote from me. All the costs are right there for you including import levies, taxes and duties.

I recently ordered a new SS prop for about 100$ cheaper than it would have been local.

My only complaint is the shipping time.. they always ship to Michigan first for it to clear customs then ship again to the customer. For me that means my orders go clear across the continent and back...about a 5000mile trip and 2 weeks or so.

However...I still keep buying from them.:)
