(which is actually MORE than the feckin shipping charge!!!!!! WTF is THAT all about??!!)well no i am sorry, but is it just me that thinks that is just totally taking the piss?i just wanted to let everyone know. just have a care when making a "large" purchase off crazy egor. while he's fine to deal with and you can get "cheap" items from him, once everything is taken into account, it doesnt end up being cheap at all. this is my third purchase from him and will be my last now and my feedbacks will reflect such "when the right time cometh"Al

Anyone else had problems getting through UK (or any European) customs? I have three packages hung up right now, one in Spain, one in France and one in the Netherlands (or so the buyers tells me). All different package sizes and shipping methods.
