Don't forget to allow for about 25% charges when the package hits the UK. That's somewhere between 0 and 6.5% duty (most camera gear is around 3.5%, lenses are nearer 6.5% though I forget the exact rates). 17.5% VAT is then charged on the purchase price, shipping and duty. Finally, the postal or courier service usually adds a brokerage fee for settling up with Customs for you and billing you later (often something around £7.50).<snip>

yeah you do have to budget a bit more for various charges, but I doesn't work out that much and IMO is very much worth it to get the RRS gear (yes - you can tell I'm impressed with it - and I used to be an engineer!)

The only thing I object to is Parcel force taking £13 for collecting it from customs 0 cheeky blighters, but there you are everyone is on the make... (Don't get me started on that one! let me tell you just what I think about speed traps, parking tickets, etc!!!! nanny state etc,:evil: .......:evil: ) :lol:
