    How much will it work out to be in £ if you include the cost of postage (cheapest option) and a potential customs charge?

    Just wondering if it's worth saving say £5-10 for all that hassle?

    The Cheapest Shipping is around £9, VAT is also around £9 Customs May be around £1.50 (not sure if you pay Customs) and The Royal Mail fee would be £4 (for collecting the Vat and/or Customs). Plus you would need to add a couple of pounds for a UK Charger.

    Just a note for first timers to these import sites -

    If they DO mark the value of your package down to avoid customs duty, your package is also only INSURED to this value. IE If your item arrives damaged or broken and the label says it's worth $18 that's the most you'll get refunded by the courier company!

    Not such an issue when you're only spending £60 or so but nevertheless...
