Hello Hauke:
I did not pay customs fees when I sent my cameras to
Germany because I wrote a note explaining they were old cameras from German
origin and they needed replacement parts no longer available in the country
(it is true), it was the reason I wanted to send them to Germany, that I was
only a cameras user, not a dealer or a seller. They accepted my explanation
and I did not pay customs fees; it was not as easy as it sounds BTW, but I
comment on the results.
I'm very satisfied with the FFS work, they did almost a miracle repairing
the SL66 after the damage it suffered during the returning trip after the
first repair. FFS overhauled and repaired my SL35E, Voigtländer VSLE 3,
Rollei35S, Rolleiflex SL 66 and 2,8F and 3,5F, all of which are working fine.
Shipping costs were reasonable when I sent the cameras to Europe and repair
costs were not so expensive as you could think, anyway it is an effort, a
really complicated customs process to send cameras abroad to repair. the
payment is also complicated because FFS accepts international money transfers
from bank to bank only, It's time to enjoy the cameras, the repair stage has
finished.
