I always go for air-mail - nothing worse than having
your gear stuck on a banana boat for weeks. I can
generally buy stuff off eBay or SJG and get them over
here in a week. Unless customs take an interest of
course and charge me �100 import duty and VAT on
things that aren't eligible for either.
<tory_mode>Twisting bastards. Should be taken outside
and birched. We've lost so many colonies through
taxation you'd think they'd realise by
now.</tory_mode>
Which reminds me, ATTENTION ANYONE FILLING OUT US
CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS FOR UK DESTINATIONS! Most RPG
things are BOOKS, if you put "games" on the label UK
customs and excise assumes they're computer games and
slaps huge charges on. While we can claim it all back,
it's a pain in the arse.
Cheers,
Ash
