It's simple to avoid customs charges, send them like mlord does, via the post office.

If you send it via a courier to the UK FedEx will charge my approx $15 customs plus VAT plus import duty, so I will end up paying $180 for a $100 part.

If you send it via the USPS then it come via royal mail and usually small packages from individuals never get checked and is ony a few pounds at the worst.

I think you should look closley at your shipping costs, it is loosing you business. I for one are holding off just because of that. I can understand your reasons as explained earlier in the thread, but I'm sure you can see mine too.

Just my 2 cents.

Cheers
