    approx 25% of the total order including shipping costs

    it's actually 20/21% vat, 3.5% duty and then handling charge, but 25% normally works out about right if your trying to calculate how much cash to have handy when the postman arrives

    Or you can just give the postman your left kidney.

    I get all my stuff from Hong Kong. Sometimes you get away with it. Last order, €400 or so, no vat or duty charges (from redwolf). Best of luck mate.
