    ... which will also have a clearance fee charge of 15 pounds or so to pay. This money has to be paid upfront but of course you will be able to reclaim most of it.

    From whom?

    (Or did you mean set it against tax?)

    Sorry not very well written. I meant that the bulk of the bill from Fedex will be VAT which the OP can reclaim on his next return as he is VAT registered.

    Thought you might be interested that I've bought both items, I went for the BIN option on ebay and requested an invoice for both from the cellar. I'll pay paypal via Visa credit card rather than debit card.

    Thanks for all the comments,
