The price quoted on the website will include local taxes (say 1/6th of the sticker price) but in theory they are not applicable to exported items. If he does not already remove those taxes then suggest to the supplier that they investigate here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-on-goods-exported-from-the-uk-notice-703
I'll give them an email and see what they say. I appreciate the help!
I hope that something good comes out of this for you. The Uke Room owner is a long time member here, from his you tube content it’s clear that he’s an expert player too. If his email response is slow then he has a Facebook page too so there are other routes to him. Like many other business people he doubtless has multiple different demands on his time so his response to you might not be instantaneous - he’s probably closed over the weekend too so a bit of patience might be needed.
Good luck.
Ken Timms makes great ukuleles. However, pricing went way up after they got a great review in gotaukulele.com. Now they sell for more than a new Opio or a used Koaloha, both of which I think are better values (IMHO) as well as being easier to buy.
I’ve put the OP in touch with my customer so they can sort out a direct sale. I don’t mind not getting involved. I lose my commission but the seller can sell and the buyer gets their uke.
It would be hard to sell a Ken Timms without it showing up on a search. If you have the serial number it might be possible to recover it.Hello everyone.
I am interested in buying a Ken Timms. My brother bought me one a while ago and I was attached to it. Unfortunately yesterday I lost it. If anyone is selling one I am happy to discuss a price.
Also, if you have any info about when Ken is preparing more I would very grateful.
I am from UK (Oxford)
Thank you kindly, guys.

I think they are generally undervalued. If I were Ken, I'd double the ticket price.Ken Timms makes great ukuleles. However, pricing went way up after they got a great review in gotaukulele.com.
