Hi,

I am looking to purchase a Filbert pump does anyone have one for sale or does anyone know where I can purchase one from the UK rather than trying to get one imported from the USA?

Many thanks

Steve

Filbert only sells direct, the last time someone asked for a filbert we all said no one sells and then the next day Dave put his up for sale.
I have the McPump in stock; http://www.balloonartwholesale.co.uk/catal ... -19-1.html and can do it for £120

I'll vouch for the McPump, sir95, as a satisfied owner.  A good piece of kit and does exactly what you'd expect - only complaint is I wish it had the 'collar' near the top of the pump for carrying or holding inflated balloons like the Filbert.... but if it did, it would be a Filbert!  :?

Thanks for your kind replies.  Was hoping to purchase a Filbert but if I sell my electric pump will give you a call regarding the ones' you sell for £120.

Cheers

I've just bitten the bullet and ordered mine!!

Hi

I am ready to buy a Filbert pump does anyone know how long it takes to arrive and has anyone had problems with Customs?

Many thanks

Mine took about 4 weeks!

I never considered one of these, always inflated by mouth or with a hand pump it seemed quick enough for what I do, but then again I thought the same when I dished out on a conwin split sizer and now I wouldnt be without it.

You may get charged import duty and VAT

I can also recommend the MacPump - very sturdy and solid. An excellent inflation device.

QuoteYou may get charged import duty and VAT

Import tax on mine was abot £23!

I only paid VAT and Parcel Forces admin charges on mine. It totalled about £24 but most of that was admin. Not happy but Parcel Farce will hold your pump to ransom for their charges even though you have no choice. I would rather have paid customs the VAT myself.

However, if you know in advance you can cost it into the total price.
