I get a lot of stuff from over seas, kits cells speedos etc, it all started off great the first few items i never paid anything but i find if it sent EMS the parcel farce gets hold of it then they rip you off and blame customs. the other day i had a carbon fibre cyclone chassis sent from the states, it probably weighs 30-50g max, it was ticked gift and had a value of about £20 but i still got taxed £8. not too bad i hear you say but parcel farce then put a £13 handling charge on it, my advice is GO DHL!!! i have never had any problems with them.
