    Ships from China - would this be likely to fall foul of customs?

    If it got stopped it would get hit for roughly €7 + €10. I am guessing, but I don't think it would get stopped. It was also posted in the Aliexpress thread, and it is here cheaper shipped with epacket.

    probably - but I thought it was good value none the less even if that's the RRP

    With Aliexpress, there are often items more expensive than they are elsewhere. Amazon is often cheaper than aliexpress, so you need to double check or regret it, but this is much cheaper than anywhere else I could find it after ImARebel posted it. I looked around and it's available on a few sites under different brands but much more expensive. Ugear seems to be the most expensive. It sems to average around €70, so Aliexpress does seem to be the best option for this by quite a lot (at least until it becomes more popular).

    It's DIY, so they'll probably just send you a log and a carving chisel :P
