Buy in Spain or Transport over from UK?

transport

Thanks everybody for the tips.
I know IKEA mattresses and bedding linen are a different size to the UK and was going to buy that sort of thing in Spain. Will english fitted sheets fits spanish beds?

Hi, if any of the shopaholics within this thread need items brought over between now and the end of July then feel free to send me an email

Oh, point of note. I can arrange for IKEA items to be collected from the store if need be !

cheers, happy shopping,

we bought duvets from asda uk 4.5 tog plus fleece blankets which are very useful winter evenings and a quarter of the price when purchased in the uk.
Also anything made of wood in spain seems expensive

Hi, thought it might be a good idea to mention that we have a 'part loads' vehicle booked for items to and from Spain for the first week in April.

If this might be of help to anyone please let me know.

(This is a removal service - not one man and a van)

I hope we might be of help to you. Please feel free to email me with enquiries.
Thanks

Furniture

I have spent almost a year looking for a decent 3 seater and an armchair in Spain at a reasonable price.In the end I ordered in the UK January sales,it will be shipped over at the end of the month.I can reclaim the VAT which will pay most of the shipping cost.

VAT return on goods sent to Spain

Hi JDCUK, I would be very interested in any details about reclaiming the VAT on goods as I sent all my furniture across by a removal company from the UK. Any advice on the procedure would be very much appreciated.

vat on furniture

Does anyone know ???


Can v.a.t. be claimed back on a new kitchen , tiles or bathroom the way it can on 'new builds' in the U.K

Not sure if v.a.t can be claimed back on furniture though in the U.K or Spain

Re: Van rentals

Hi, we too are about to complete and wondering what needs to be purchased in Spain etc. Ex of UK when you said bedding did you mean sheets etc or the matresses?

Hi Panda

We got the mattresses here in Spain, but the quality and choice of bedding is better in the UK. (only my opinion)

VAT

Hi Jacquedilley While looking around furniture shops in the UK in January I was told at every store I visited they would refund VAT if proved it was shipped to Spain.You first pay the full price of the goods,in my case furniture,you then arrange for a shipping company to arrange shipping and stress you need a certificate of shipping,this will be delivered when you receive the furniture.You then take the certificate and your original bill back to the store you bought the goods from, they will arrange a VAT refund. Ask in any major outlet for furniture,they will give full details

well, if anyone wants to go shopping we are still available to take goods out next week........

VAT return on goods sent to Spain

Hi JDCUK thanks for your reply, looks like I have missed the boat as I purchased the goods and then sent them out to Spain via a removal firm last year. I do still have the receipts but I dare say it is too late!!

Thanks anyway
