Not sure if this is their normal price but it seems really cheap. I just ordered a copy.

Thanks, I ordered one, at least I could spend my co.uk gift card.

"Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 weeks." is a bit weird if it is genuine Amazon? Otherwise looks good

I just had this email through from Amazon
"We are pleased to report that the following item will dispatch sooner than expected:

Paul Horowitz , Winfield Hill "The Art of Electronics - third Edition"
Previous estimated arrival date: January 30 2020 - February 10 2020

BREXIT @Feb-01 - Means ~£20 in Customs Charge for claiming the 25% VAT
I prob. made my last Amazon-UK buy last week , if NON EU charges apply at import.

Too bad , i liked Amazon-UK

I think you need to check your facts, I think you have until December. But don't let me stop you panicking

if that helps.

I just noticed the same @DK-Customs site , but they only mentions companys in the message , maybe it's the same for private.
They say there will be no changes in the import/export rules until 2021.

I'm not panicking , just dont want to be surprised by the DK Mail Customs fee.
They love to claim the £20 fee , for collecting VAT for the Customs , even if VAT is 1 pence.

You can't expect people from all over the world knowing the ins and outs of Brexit. The assumption that taxes change upon Brexit isn't unreasonable. Even official sources aren't always consistent.

Nobody in this country knows the ins and outs, including Boris..

Re: EU Tariffs
I was merely trying to kill off any fake VAT news; please check with your supplier/courier but from a legal point of view there are no changes during the transition period which is at least until December 2020. Share & Enjoy.

Looks like we have bought them all.

Don't worry too much about import taxes and fees in the EU, it won't last much longer anyway. Once the UK is fully out and our economy does much better than EU member slaves, the domino effect will begin!

Does anyone have the kindle edition? I have a hardcopy but would love to have a decent e-format too.

tszaboo · « **Reply #16 on:** January 22, 2020, 04:05:22 pm »

It arrived much sooner.
Thx for that tip.

Quote from: CJay on January 20, 2020, 03:08:30 pm

Let us know and share pics when it arrives, if it's genuine then there's one sat in my basket waiting for confirmation.

Looks legit, see pictures, arrived in bubble wrap. Its the third improved edition, unlike on the picture.

NivagSwerdna · « **Reply #17 on:** January 22, 2020, 04:13:00 pm »

FWIW Amazon seem to have found some more stock. Currently available at £23.50 again

ralphrmartin · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2020, 05:09:10 pm »

Not now. It seems like they were selling the hardback for the Kindle price, and have now realised their mistake.

aix · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2020, 06:24:59 pm »

It was showing as available just now (with 1-3 weeks' lead time), but when I tried to order it went all weird: the site took me to the basket but the basket didn't contain the book. Going back to the book's page, it's now showing as not available to buy from Amazon (only from third-party sellers, at a much higher price).

I guess they fixed the glitch (assuming that's what it was).

crispus · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2020, 09:21:31 pm »

After I saw @NivagSwerdna's last post I was able to buy a book.

AlgisLt · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2020, 10:19:32 pm »

Also ordered one, also got an email that 'item will dispatch sooner than expected', cant wait to receive! Thanks to the poster who reported about this deal!

crispus · « **Reply #22 on:** January 23, 2020, 07:57:57 am »

The book is available again.

Dataforensics · « **Reply #23 on:** January 23, 2020, 09:53:56 am »

Thanks for heads up, also just ordered one and got expected delivery date of 3-13th Feb.

If the EU breaks up we can as well surrender to the Chinese or the US and hope however we choose will win the upcoming struggle and likes to have a little pet continent around
