[sdiy] [WTB] IR3R01 in UK

[Jack Jackson]

Hi Tom,

Well the only two times I've ordered a large enough item to be considered (>£15) they have charged me £8 handling fee and then the extra tax. 

I've heard before that things make it through, but say you order a large enough quantity of something to make it worth it, or a synth, you could be
hit with an unexpectedly large ransom at the post office.

 I got caught like that for some Ray Wilson gear at the post office, and the only recourse the lady offered was to 'pay now, dispute later'
