'Trangia' Clikstand Group Buy [Archive] - BushcraftUK: Community Forum

capacious

09-03-2006, 23:36

This group buy is for the 'Clikstand' - www.clikstand.com - which is compatible with the Civilian Trangia burner, the Army Model Trangia, and the Tatonka burner (which was recently discussed to death in this thread: http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=8211&highlight=clikstand ).

Scott Reiner, the manufacturer, said we can get $4 off the price of the Clikstand, or $6 off the price of the Clikstand and Windshield if there are at least 5 people interested. That makes the price $25.95 (£14.96) and $36.95 (£21.28) respectively.

Delivery is $9.

There shouldn't be any kind of customs charge or tax, as the matter has been extensively investigated.

That brings the prices to:

Clikstand: £20.64 (depending on the current exchange rates, etc.etc., and Paypal charges.)

Clikstand/Windscreen combo: £27.14 (depending on the current exchange rates, etc.etc., and Paypal charges.)

Payment HAS to be via paypal.

If there are a lot more than 5 people, then I should be able to persuade him to increase the discount.

There are no longer any UK stockists, but the retail price was around £40 as far as I can remember, so this is rather a good deal.

This thread discusses the clikstand in quite a lot of detail - http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=11383&highlight=clikstand .

This is good too - http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/showthread.php?t=10434&highlight=clikstand .

This is my first group buy, so anyone who has any tips for me (i.e. figuring out paypal chrages) then please, share your knowledge!

Thanks,

Jake.

I'm still thinking about it as I like the idea, but it seems a lot of money for what you appear to get, but I'm willing to be persuaded.

IIRC paypal charge 3.4% + £0.20.

If you read the above posts you will know that I have one of these and really rate it.

Originally I used it with a small cup and the original windshield, as you can see from the pictures below.

http://www.magikelly.co.uk/click1.jpg

http://www.magikelly.co.uk/click3.jpg

http://www.magikelly.co.uk/click4.jpg

This was as a lightweight brew kit as the trangia fits perfectly inside the cup with the windshield coiled above it.

Now I tend to use it with my crusader mug

http://www.magikelly.co.uk/clickstand5.jpg

http://www.magikelly.co.uk/clickstand6.jpg

As you can see I no longer use the supplied windshield. I find the foil one (made out of an old disposable barbecue) much better. being taller it retains much more heat and improves cooking times considerably.

So what I am probably getting at is that in my opinion the windshield can be replaced easily with a cheaper (free) and more efficient option.

That said at these prices put me down for another clickstand. I have a friend that has been lusting after mine so I can put them out of their misery.

10-03-2006, 11:16

Does anyone know if the clickstand will take the military version of the burner or the Tatonka stainless burner?

Thanks

Moduser

10-03-2006, 11:45

moduser, I think you'll find that apart from the depth of the fuel well the tatonka is prett much the same size (diameter) as the standard civilian trangia.

I haven't tried the clickstand with the military version, but believe that the fuel well has a larger diameter, I'll pick mine up from home and try it later today to let you know.

Leon:)

If I can get past my problems with paypal then you can put me down for a Clikstand/Windscreen combo.

Phil562

10-03-2006, 11:49

I asked Magikelly the exact same question the other day on a PM. I'm sure he won't mind me copying it into this post ;)

The Civi burner fits in it perfectly. The army version fits underneath it i believe. I have never tried it (I can when I get home if it helps) but I am sure Martyn did. If you go over to British Blades and do a search in Clickstand you should find Martyn's review of it where he tries it with both types of burner. The Tatonka steel burner also fits in it but as it is deeper it sits a little higher than the trangia burners.

Well, errrmmmm.....

The design makes the burner more efficient, because it has fantastic air supply, and with the right pot it is totally protected from the wind and so no heat is lost.

It might be better to order it WITHOUT the windshield, beacuse then you can make a taller one to use with any taller pots that you might have (i.e. crusader mug) or wider pots, that you wouldn't be able to use the supplied windshield with.

Persuaded yet? :p

Scott has just got back to me on the postage:

$20 for 5 w/shield combos (£2.30 each)
$12 for 5 clikstands. (£1.38 each)

If they go direct to me. He is getting back to me on the costs if they are to be sent to indivdual addresses, so watch out for updates.

If he posts them in Global Priority envelopes individually to each of us it is extremely unlikely that we will incur import duty, vat or handling fees.

I have received many items from the USA posted this way and never had duty to pay on them. I believe if the value is declared as below $36 it will not incur anything. If it is marked as a gift i believe this limit is higher. Not that I am suggesting that these are mis declared.

UPDATE:

For individual postage, it will be $9 (£5.22). This is the best way to avoid having to pay V.A.T and import duty, as the package value will be low.

That brings the total costs to $34.95 (£20.64 roughly) for the clikstand, and $45.95 (£27.14 roughly) for the combo.

There is very little chance, according to MagiKelly, that you'll all have to pay V.A.T and import duty, so it looks like posting to individual addresses is the best option.

There are 5 for the clikstand without windshield, so I'll start making arrangements for payment.

In the meantime, we need 2 more for the combo, and then we can get it moving.

I'm sure mine said $30 (or roundabouts) for just the clikstand - did you get a windshield as well?

$30 dollars comes to just less than £18 (which is when UK customs might get interested.)

I though maybe you'd got 'done' wrongly but after reading Scankers comment below I think you were just unlucky it got noticed (or rather he was lucky)

I'm not bothered, about the charges but looking at the date stamps, it looks like its been with customs for around a week. :D

Hey guys,

I don't know what's going on here.

Some of the packages were mis-labelled at higher values than they actually were, which has attracted the (rather unwanted) attention of customs. If this applies to you, then contact Scott at info@clikstand.com and get it sorted.

As for the packages that have yet to arrive - my only guess is that HMCE or Royal Mail still have them. As far as I know, Scott posted them all out at the same time, but I'll check this for you.

Swyn - I got your email but not your PM, so if you could send that again, that'd be great.

Sorry I havn't been online sooner, but I've been having troubles with the wireless network at home, so I havn't been able to do anything online.

If anyone has any specific questions/bugs then PM me and I'll do my best to get them sorted.

I'm really sorry this has gotten so messed up for so many of you.

Jake.

Just out of interest, what should the correctly labelled values have been?

The value should have been recorded at $34.95 for the clikstand combo, which is just above the threshold for customs charges, but they would've been less if it was declared properly.

If anyone has any major bugs about this, then they can take it up with Scott at info@clikstand.com .

It is a bit of a shame, I only ordered the windshield for completness and I probably wouldn't if I'd known I was going to be clobbered by VAT.

Still it's no major hassle, the price is still ok.

I'll just be glad to finally get the thing. :cool:

I feel dreadful now. It was me who suggested the use of Global Priority envelopes as these would not attract charges and it seems that most people are getting hit.

Sorry folks.

to be fair, i'm probably still ahead of the game ordering from abroad. i've still saved plenty.

Magikelly - don't worry about it: Scott only sent the clikstands by Global Priority, not the windshield/combos. He sent them in their normal packaging to save on the postage, because Global Priority packaging has a flat rate charge depending on the size of the box used, which meant that it would've cost more to send it by by Global Priority than it would normally.

Whether or not it would've made a difference regarding customs charges we will never know, but I have a feeling that there would've been charges anyway, just because of the value.

At least that makes sense now. I could just not understand how all the combos were getting hit in a Global Priority envelope. One I could understand but so many was really strange.

As I say all makes sense now.

Ok. Mines arrived now.

Yes I did cop the VAT charge and actually I don't think I'll be using the windshield with the clickstand.

However it is just right for my ultralight, solid fuel set up so all's well that ends well.

Thanks for your work on this GB. Jake, I'm quite happy with what I've got. :You_Rock_

the clikstand will fit in nicely with my cooking gear.
i'm going to try it out properly at the weekend but it looks good so far.
the windshield on its own will work well with my mini trangia.
a good buy. well done.

Hello everybody,

I wanted to thank you all for your orders and sincerely apologize for any problems you have encountered. We double checked everything before shipping, but it appears that there were still some mixups somehow. I also wanted to apologize for any unnecesarry customs charges you may have incurred due to us shipping the combos via standard mail rather than Global Priority. Please feel free to contact me regarding these issues if you are unhappy with your purchase (info@clikstand.com) and we can work something out. Customer satisfaction is our number one concern. Also, feel free to contact us with feedback or questions at any time. Thank you again.
