    Are you 100% sure that there are no taxes or duties to be paid?

    Their website states :

    "Q Do I have to pay taxes on product(s) ordered?

    A We do not charge any sales tax. However, any custom fees or import sales tax levied on international deliveries are the responsibility of the customers."

    Quite simply VAT will be applied when it arrives in the UK and possibly duty too! Any item over £18 in value is subject to 17.5% VAT. If duty (rates vary depending on item) would be over £7 it is also charged on the value and VAT would be added to the duty amount too.

    Also the Royal Mail (assuming they don't use a courier) charge too - usually £4 per package that tax is applied to!

    get tagged and its 22.5% all in, its really not worth doing, there are alot of sites claiming they pay your VAT what that means though is they illigally declare it as a gift for $10 and then it *MIGHT* get through, but if it does sites like these turnn round and tell you you were an exception and obviously at that point you aren't going to refuse the package are you.

    no m8 but looking at it, its a jap import and the warranty does not exist..

    "Warranty:
    NONE - THIS IS A JAPANESE IMPORT - NO WARRANTY WITH THIS PRODUCT"

    I would not buy from these because i want warranty with my product..
