Cool. Customs usually arent too bad though, its just the expensive stuff that causes problems. Parcelforce like to add a £13 'clearance fee' onto the £10-15 VAT that the government already adds before I can get my stuff, yet other times I get expensive stuff from overseas and it hits my doormat 10 days later with no extra charges.... weird, non? I guess its one of those things that we all have to suffer occasionally for our 'art'.... hehehe. Cant wait until the new Gorillamaxx stuff is out though, I'll be counting down the days.

from what i hear is this:
if they send it with the postal service it'll get held by customs.
if they send via fed-ex, ups,... they dont.
is it like that?

Yeh, Plain rubbish to be more precise.. customs are in it for a quick buck..
but it's not the customs, it's most likely postal fee..
our post-boys found out that trick too.. they charge us for 15 euro's of 'administration fee' back in the days it was for free..

UPS is held by customs. i ordered a package from towerhobbies, paying roughly 80 dollars of shipping, and on top of that, i needed to pay another 10 euro of UPS postal fee to the UPS in Holland and on top of that, the normal customs..
Shipping went fast though, it was ordered on Saturday and delivered on Tuesday..

You call that cheap? Man, I want your job and pay! I order from Mike, say, some FLM bulks or something. So figure 144.00 for parts, 5.15 for shipping and see it in 3 days tops. 149.15 in total!
