Can anyone bring a small Reimo pop top from Germany to UK???

Post by wolfbus.uk »

I've got a problem, planned to fit an SCA 08 Hubdach or Reimo equivalent

https://www.reimo.com/en/20200-pop_upro ... greycanva/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

on my van and have built the roof lining ready for the pop top. Trouble is the UK "dealers" for SCA and Reimo in the UK are adding up to 50% on the German asking price which is pushing it over my budget.

Does anyone on here go to Germany regularly that could bring one back direct from a Reimo or SCA dealer? The Hubdach roofs are quite small about 1200 x 1200 max and weigh around 40kg.

If anyone can help happy to pay for the time etc and collect in UK :ok

Ask them to give you a quote from a courier like DHL. It might be less than you think.

Reimo and SCA will not ship direct, as far as the dealers tell me. The dealers bring it back on a lorry and charge £400 odd extra.

I have nothing personal against dealer's but if you build nothing, do nothing, change your story every five minutes, take 3 weeks to raise an invoice and add £400 on despite at the outset saying you would not, then you are not really a dealer of anything, you are just a parasitic scroat. Sadly this was the case for all the dealers I found except for one in Barnsley who was decent, but it still works out at £1200 for a Reimo roof from them, when a German say can buy an SCA 08 roof for £740 and a Reimo roof for £940.
