Hi there,
a couple of kind forumers have offered me items I'm looking for but it means bringing them in from the EU/EEA, what do i need to allow for in taxes, paperwork etc.?? or is it not worth the hassle??

If you use the likes of DHL, they take care of the paperwork and you should be able to get an idea of taxes etc, though I * think * for you guys, it would only be VAT. I'm not sure if that's applied 'blanket' to anything or just new items.

It’s still a lottery sometimes I’ve paid sometimes not, it also depends what the seller puts on the paperwork..

Worth trying Transglobal express as they can take care of all the forms and will ship with the most efficient carrier.
You can even pay taxes or duties in advance.
