[QUOTE="subzero, post: 461870, member: 9185"] Iv'e bought the odd collectable here and there from the US in the past and have found one thing, if I buy on ebay.com and the item is being sold via the 'ebay global shipping program', then the customs charge ( which is automatically taken by ebay when you purchase it ) is a lot cheaper compared to the seller sending it through the normal post system via a post office. Funnily enough iv'e just bought a vintage WWF MOC figure on ebay.com this morning and the import cost through the global shipping program was only something like £15, yet if it wasn't sent through the global shipping program then Royal Mail / Parcel Force would have got hold of it and slapped on something like a £12 handling fee alone without the VAT. So I always try to buy from sellers using the ebay shipping program. I also recently bought a Jedi Luke MOC which came up to about £240 total which included the shipping and import cost, then a week later the exact same one sold in the UK for £390 lol. Some might say that was overpriced but I still won buying mine from the US because I wouldn't have been able to bid on the UK one. [/QUOTE]
