dont forget thats 17.5% VAT of the entire total

including shipping cost and import duty..


then the profiteering bastards at Royal Mail
slap on top of all that

their extortionate 'clearance fee'

while they hold your parcel to ransom
until you pay up the import/VAT tax..


but having said that..


and even though some American instrument sellers,
ask for unreasonable shipping fees and expensive bank transfers etc..

.. i've stll imported in some great guitar bargains from the US..
