To those worried about it being stateside - you can tweak the shipping method somewhat and get it without any nasty tax and duty surprises

Buy a Splitty and stash it in the back?

Be carful though. I bought a Klein Attitude and shipped through a courier from NZ and got stung with a 'one of search' import charge of nearly 400 quid.

Why’d they charge that? As they can’t arbitrarily charge an amount - if it’s declared as a Gift and under a certain amount then that’s what they have to work with

They believed it was higher than a declared gift value

What??? That’s fucked up! I’ve never known this to happen!
Another way of avoiding this would be to label it as for repair
