Weisslicht LED from BIMMIAN

Storm_M6 · 08-24-2015, 02:56 PM

IF you thinking of buying from BImmian.com and you are in the UK, think carefully.

I bought a pair of Weisslicht LED bulbs from bimmian and had it shipped to the UK. First there are custom charges to pay....

Then it all starts to go bit wrong. First one of the bulbs dies completely, then the 2nd one starts to go faulty with only some LED module lighting up. Ringing BIMMIAN, they are happy to replace under warranty as this is apparently from a bad batch BUT:

- They want me to pay for shippping chages to UK!!!!!
- When it arrives to the UK -i wil need to pay customs charges AGAIN!!!!!

I have challenged them back and await to hear on the outcome, I am NOT paying for shipping and customs charges due to a faulty product!!!!

***think twice before buying....
will keep all posted

Ask them to send marked as warranty replacements to avoid repeat import duty. US based seller so rules on postage costs may be very different to what we are used to.

I have used Weisslicht LED’s (angle eyes, fog lights, doors and rear licence plate) and I have been very happy with the quality of the products. I would not use anyone else.

Buying from Bimmerman is however expensive when you factor in import duty and postage and their support post sale is not good.

You should not have to pay for import duty again. If Bimmerman mark it as having no value (sample/ RMA) it will not incur import duty. It’s when they declare a value that customs will charge you.

Have you tried to contact Weisslicht directly?
