Canyon Bicycles

Has anyone ordered through Canyon.com? Looking for a CX ride and their new ride is pretty sweet. Wanted to know if they took VAT forms.

* I sent them an email standing by for a response...

I bought a road bike from them in 2012 and they would not take a VAT form. I called and stated my case that Rose Versand takes VAT forms, but they wouldn't budge. Let me know if they have changed policy. Rose has a nice CX as well, black anodized.

Well I have not gotten a response from Canyon, but the Rose bikes do look pretty sweet! So whomever takes the VAT purchase... =)

sometimes if you have them ship it to your APO the vat will drop, vat does not apply because they are shipping it out of Germany. That is also a trick to use with Hibike. Just an idea.

So this is the meail I got from Canyon, does this sound right to anyone?

Yes it dose, there is a set value on the regular VAT form, I think it's 2500€ or 3000€, anything over that amount requires this special check for the amount of the purchase which you get through the VAT office. Contact the VAT office for better details...
