Of course I agree with you 100% it is up to half price if you compare an expensive (no discount given) UK shop with a back door/no tax paid import, but as you say "then again depends what your buying and who you want buy it from really"

playing devils advocate here
and i admit to doing this more than once in the past
but just to show how us Brits are being ripped of
OK ae b4 ft car here in the UK £159 i seen in a earlier post
USA price $219 so thats £111.73 plus doing it all legal and above board
17.5% vat =£19.55 = £131.28 plus postal charges of £11 = £142.28
that,s legal and legit i know it's only £17 but add on some spares and the cost comes down as postal charge £11 is per parcel no matter how big Ive save £80 -90 on my items in the past
I'm not saying its right
but just hate people saying don't do it Ill get ripped of
by customs
sorry you wont
