| I've just been charged £25.85 to get a small envelope with 2 small pieces of glass and a screw from Japan to upgrade my SHOEI ZFG42 scope. That bring the total for these 3 items to £87.69!!!  I'm going to have to pack this collecting lark up as I'd like to be able to eat occasionally.

| Dont normally get caught with anything from Japan simply because i have a low cost put on, .but when i do get hit its around that or £30 ish mainly due to the bloody post office admin charges | |

| As Claymore said, most of my stuff from the far east comes through ok. Parcelforce/Royal Mail do seem to add quite high admin charges compared to FedEx, DHL etc. It's a pain when we get clobbered for import cost (somebody's got to help the government deficit  ) but I've saved enough over the years to offset. 8ace | |
