Can I blame Brexit for this?
Saw a front wing for an 850 on Ebay for just £46!! it looked ok and it was coming from Spain so there was a £75 delivery charge. Even so that is a very cheap wing. So I placed my order and it was accepted. But this morning I got a message saying that they could not supply to the UK at the moment & my money has been refunded. Anybody else experiencing similar problems with delivery from Europe?
Every other wing I saw was £400 or more, so I might have to attempt a fibreglass repair...... |

On a more serious note, there are some courier and delivery companies that are just plain refusing to deal with the additional red tape of delivering to the UK due to new requirements of this that and the other. Perhaps the seller is finding it difficult to get a delivery partner to commit?

Chin up guys ... Boris says it great for NOT so Great Britain....
And we all know what Boris says is 100% the truth and nothing else. Visited the Museum of Brexit benefits last week,after cutting my way in with a machete through all the red tape I found myself in a room full of nothingness . Wouldn't bother visiting lads. |

Is this related to Brexit - almost certainly.
Can you ‘blame’ Brexit is more subjective. I buy car parts from all over the world and to be honest the requirements are not difficult or particularly onerous.

Yes, it's Brexit without doubt. It's caused huge supply chain disruption in almost every business sector due to customs certifications and other associated red tape plus substantial delivery oncosts. Oh, and no delivery drivers anyway. just look at whats happening in the supermarket sector. Christmas dinner this year will be a spam sandwich.... oh, spam comes from the Netherlands so that's off too!!!
