I'm "rEvolving" at the moment and thinking about ordering een unit for myself.

Becouse I live in the EU, I have to buy the unit from the Swiss company.

Maybe a bit silly, but is this safe?

Are there others who have bought a unit from the Swiss reseller? Did the order go OK? Can I trust this company? Did the delivery go well?

I wanna order a unit and collect in Switzerland.

I collected the the rEvo in Scubashop in Villeneuve (and also did the training), Francis, the owner is a great guy. It is of course abolutely safe. You will have to pay the Swiss VAT, but you will avoid to pay your country import tax that you are supposed to pay if you import your rEvo by shippping it. It depends of the Netherland Tax level (30% for Japan).
I came to pick-up the rEvo from Tokyo. during one of my trip to Europe. To ship or to pick-up is clearly a financial calculation.

No worries to order it that way ! it's safe.

If you come to Geneva to pick it up and want to do a first dive in the lake, we can manage to organise something

Intruder is the only reseller in Europe. So if you want a rEvo, you'll have to go through him!

I HAD to pickup my unit on a sunday, wich Intruder cannot provide, so I got to pick it up in Scubashop Villeneuve instead.

So two options in Switzerland for pickups.

Three actually, we can collect units on your behalf and you can collect them from us on a weekend.

Cheers,

It makes good sense tot pick it up in Switzerland. If I let them deliver the unit in Holland, there is extra shipping costs, 6% import tax (I believe) and 19% VAT to be payed.
A trip to Switzerland in my company car (nu fuel costs) is much more cost effective and I never bin to Switzerland (besides on the Highway) I'll combine the pickup with a small vacation with my girlfriend.

You need to order the machine to Paul directly. Scubashop will send you an invoice. Good luck. Nicolas
