dont quote me on this but dont think the marker it self make any difference its the bloody tax man you have to deal with.. u get whacked big time if and i say if they open it you get charged for them opening it!!! so the deal you get in america wont be so sweet by the time it lands here cos off taxes.
it may get throu untouched thou but its a risk!

yeh, i hate this
You see such sweet deals on the nation, thinking you have a steal.
Then it gets ruined

Best thing to do is find a friend in America and get them to bring it back with you.

dont think that matters it will still get hammered if they find it.....Unless you are willing to risk the insurance on it and ask them to mark it as a gift

I got my gat sent from canada, with shipping and VAT it was still cheaper than it was to buy it in the UK,
although the bar steward sent it by surface mail so it took over a month and a half to get sent (even though he told me it was being sent my air mail)
