I have made numerous Hinchliffe 25mm figure purchases (love their Renaissance line) from Hinds Figures in Britain. Ian Hinds, the owner, has been wonderful to deal with and ships quickly. Unlike some other businesses I have ordered from, he has not lined his pocket through collection of VAT (I live in the USA). In conclusion, I strongly recommend doing business with Hinds Figures. |

We've known Ian for a number of years and he's a good guy. I just wanted to reply to one thing though: Unlike some other businesses I have ordered from, he has not lined his pocket through collection of VAT (I live in the USA). In the UK not every business will be registered for VAT and can't remove it from their prices. It's not that they're 'lining their pockets', it's that the VAT simply doesn't exist for them. You only have to become VAT-registered when you cross a turnover threshold, which is £85.00 GBPk per year currently. From that point you have to add VAT to your prices. There may be some VAT registered companies in the UK who choose to leave the VAT on for US customers, which they can do if they wish. But that money doesn't remain with them, it has to be declared like any other sale and is paid to the government when they do their VAT returns. |

Thank you Leon Pendraken for clarification/explanation of the Byzantine (to an American!) VAT rules. |

No worries at all, it can be extremely confusing… (I've left out the option to voluntarily become VAT-registered when you're below the threshold!) … so I try to post a bit of info when it comes up! |

Yes Ian Hind is a real nice guy, i used to take painted figures to his house to sell many years ago, he was always a gentleman and i used to enjoy looking at what he had in stock too! |

I'll agree too!
Have a need to 'fill out' an acquired 'Napoleonic army [grunts] of sorts with array of officers and command types mostly, so pop back to Ian every so often-
oh yes and especially his 28mm Eagles/ Pikes/ Pikes(*) with cords all very useful, no matter what 'flavour' the troops may be! Grabbed a couple of painted 'units' as opportunity purchases as well. All shipped very nicely and arrived in NZ in one piece. *Order direct- not in catalogue, only 50p each! cheers d |
