Grayvik stuff is awesome

 

[davesnothere]

its taken far too long for me to post, but i recieved my order on tuesday.
a couple deep wright impact sockets i needed to complete a set, a set of shallow GP impact sockets, cman screwdrivers, and of course, the freebies.
the box art was my daughters request.

 

[candikid]

My order already arrived in Norway! Just waiting for the governments to add an extra 200 bucks to it probably, and then it should be at my door just a few days after.

 

[metaldad]

You are kidding, right?

sweet, your order AND and an extra monetary gift. Take the money and run

He could make his order for $200 even including shipping and after the government adds $200 he gets the order for free! Sweet!

 

[jakemac]

I'm not seeing how that math adds up.

I thought he was talking about his gov't putting an additional 2 bills onto what he paid for the order as tariff. How do you get free out of that ?

Ummmm.....We were joking.

 

[jakemac]

AHHHHHHH, that makes more sense. :tard:

 

[metaldad]

so norway charges a 100% tax on, I gather it can be termed an import?
for personal use?

 

[north]

so norway charges a 100% tax on, I gather it can be termed an import?
for personal use?

If the value of the goods is NOK 200 or above there is a 25% sales tax on the goods and shipping. (Some items, like clothes, are subject to duty as well)

Add NOK 133 in customs clearance if value of goods is NOK 200 - NOK 999.99 and NOK 261 if value of goods is NOK 1000 or more.

This is for postal service. Other couriers have different fees.

 

[candikid]

-What North just said! I was being a bit unclear, so my post qualified for a good joke. No one is adding money to my parcel, unfortunately Maybe I'll get it today, always exciting to see what the fees comes down to.

Thanks for another great Epstein's Day guys!
In appreciation I wrote this article on the Daily Dispatch about what I think events like this can accomplish.

Good article, well done.

 

[MJB24]

Very nice article. And I love my new Wright sockets. I think I will be buying some Wright combo wrenches soon.

I will be certainly buying more from HJE. I am glad I found GJ when I did. I enjoyed my Wilde Wednesday and this as my first Epstein day.

 

[davesnothere]

That was a good read.

 

[Bull]

I loved reading that. I'm so happy that this year's Epstein's Day was a success and I look forward to next year's.

I also hope that between now and then we can do at least one more event for some business or manufacturer in the "Little Guy Network."

 

[candikid]

Happy as can be! And the state tax fees were a lot less than I thought

Thank you for a great service, personal greeting on the bill, and an extra freebie wilde hat!

Edit: -And not to mention the initiative!

 

[nnySk]

4 burs
2 wire brushes
Flex spout funnel

I think I'm going to order that Proto screwdriver set. I bought one screwdriver just to see how they felt in my hand....I like them...now I'm dying to get the rest.

They are gorgeous The look and feel of them.. wow!
But! Before you order, note that this set has 16 flat drivers and only 2 phillips. So to get a complete set of drivers in this range you should order a separate set with more PH's, which is what I am going to do

Edit: after a closer look, seems the 18pc set pretty much sums up all the proto drivers on the site. Maybe Jori will have to order some more PH's for us, if he can still get them?

 

[candikid]

Jori, I just counted my Proto drivers (bought the 18pc set) and came up with 19pcs, and the one that didn't originally come with the set is of course the HUGE driver/pry bar. Thank you ever so much!!! And sorry I didn't notice before :O

One funny thing; my girlfriend thought I looked happier than a kid on christmas eve while unwrapping my order, so she just "had to" post a photo of me on facebook, where I'm holding the proto pry bar and smiling from one ear to another, the rest of the order still in the box by my side. People start asking where I got the nice tools from, so I got the chance to promote Harry J. Epstein a bit right there in the comments field

That's a given. You know what's in the box and it ain't no socks.

And nice haul.
