Good luck getting it to the door at that price. Only one I found at £43.39 on Ebay was from the States.
Add on £7.54 via UPS, which means it'll come with a Customs form, and from what I remember, Valuerc fills it in accurately (no $15 total and no gifts).

So you'll get pumped for duty, VAT & the handling charge from Royal Mail which I think is another £8.

Try this site as it seems to do the job rather well.

I quickly ran this Ebay item through and it'll cost approx. £61.29 + RM handling charge.

Sorry for the long post, but I saw the £45 claim and had to check it out - realised it was too good to be true, so thought I'd better let you know before you go buy it from Ebay.
