The 1st time i bought a single kashimax it was a ok but when i bought another 2 together  i got stung, so i'd tread carefully & just buy bits at a time.  :daumenhoch:

Cheers all.  The point above is my worry as I need 4 or 5 chains and a couple of other odds and ends - I suppose that what I save compared with UK is a lot more than the customs charge (incidentally, I have no issue with the customs fee and VAT, but the Royal mail admin fee is another matter........)

I've had things off him a few times and never got "taxed" I suppose it's like the old days of buying from the US it's the luck of the draw, I suppose now eBay are double stinging people for the import tax from the US to the UK customs are busy sorting that lot out :)

I never got a customs fee from them when I bought the odd item. Delivery is pretty quick too. :) Same when I bought from Mr porkchop.  :)

Anyone buy and get stung by customs or is it generally something that gets through?

He's a member on here. Give him a shout see what he reckons, sure he'll know the crack.  :daumenhoch:

I've just bought a Kashi Aero from him yesterday, could've got the same from Alan's with no charges, but Ian's £6 cheaper than Alan's.

We'll see what happens, and if it was worth the risk to save £6.  :daumenhoch:
