mate that is very kind, i have 16 frame sets 8 pairs of wheels, grips and bars to come over, can you get them in your hand luggage ?...

No but I have crate heading over on the 5th May half full
markyp:
ive been really lucky,ive had a set of bars at £40 and decals at £30 both slip under the radar!!
moanjam:
just got the forks i was talkin about , i paid $30 for them and the kid i got them from has put $60 on the package for some reason :tickedoff:
i've phoned customs and they said anything over the value of £18 gets a vat charge and if you get vat charged you get the mandatory £8 parcel force charge :tickedoff:
so my forks cost £21.50 and i've had to pay another £16.82 , f'ck you gordon brown

that's because the allowance for a gift is £36 but for a personal import it's £120
