My 2p's worth....

Guessing you're doing something like an ansgear custom color + Global priority shipping?
As automag said, you're gonna be hit by customs - even ansgear won't devalue the marked package value to an abitary value. I got hit by customs for a seventh element board - to the value of £16. When the board itself cost £45, that's a pretty hefty chunk of cash. Imagine the customs cost on your Etek.
Also, add on top of that the face that Royal Fail will actually employ ParcelFarce's most expensive option to ship packages....... comes to considerably more than £490 in the end :(

Sorry to rain on your parade, but having lived both sides of the pond I can tell you that customs are a b****!

Also, just realised that having a cup of tea halfway through writing that makes me look a bit of an idiot.....o_O

Thanks for your reply :)

I've got in touch with ANSGear and they said that I will be faced with some extra fees :(

So I think I will either get an all black one and get it annodised OR the green camo one :)

No problems :)

You could always get the Stormtrooper one if you're after something a little different to everyone else's - don't see many of them around....

Tis the Black/White one...

As for the best place to buy from, that'll be up to you - But if you're going to North vs. South, I've heard (not been myself) that the trade stands there are legendary....

ive spoken to ans gear and they do devalue your stuff and aslong as you buy fedex shipping insurance which is about 1% of the total price youll be covered if it goes walkies as you will have the invoice in email so its down to insurance
