Always fancied a Cumulus quilt, just struck me that ...

That's where I got mine. The 350 bag was from Borderer on here.

I know quilts have a following on here, but my Cumulas 200 sleeping bag is brilliant. Warm down to a couple of degrees, it’s fully enclosed so no draughts and sits in between the 150 and 200. Plus sub 500g (I think it’s 400g or so)

I fully recommend one

I got mine from Rock n Run at a good price - save all that import hassle?

150 only and I'm looking for a 250.

Nice to know. Fairly ardent quilt user though and will be more versatile (for me) between bivi and hammock use.

Arrived safe and sound earlier today. Lovely looking bit of kit. Just wondering whether recent temps are going to a bit out of its range

Prices seem to have dropped on their site but I think, from a quick glance, they're not applying taxes l anymore. Prey to HM Customs now it seems.

I read this a while back in the Guardian.

Holidaymakers or online shoppers who buy items from the EU that are valued at more than £390 will have to pay customs duties, the government has revealed.

VAT and handling fees may also apply on some items, while parcels may be held up in post offices until all duties and fees have been cleared by the recipient in the UK.

So I guess it will depend on how much stuff costs, but don't forget to factor in the Royal Mail and there grubby mitts and the handling charge, they won't miss a trick to squeeze a few extra pounds out of you.

That's just pretty much how it works anyway, isn't it? Certainly with stuff I've bought from outside the UK and EU. Thanks to Brexit everything from the EU now gets treated like the rest of the world. Worse trading terms? Hmmm

That value seems high, but I wouldn't know? I wonder if values have even been agreed yet?

Handling fees are a bitch but if you were a business and was having to administer the tax/es, pay it (up front?) and then recover it from the punter it seems unavoidable there's some cost. Oh, and I think it's any courier, not just RM.

Hey ho

I have got a lovely quilt now though

I tried to post some orders out yesterday to France a Denmark and was told all services to the EU were on hold until further notice.

Further notice happened to be today but as of today, all parcels or large letters going to the EU require a customs declaration sticker. More ball-ache, ace

Was brousing my favourite German cycling warehouse today( Bike24) and everything is marked " not deliverable to the UK"
Those Brexit dividends just keep on giving.....
