I'm looking to buy one from him and was wondering if you got an invoice from DHL for the tax?

If you live in the UK, and buy from someone outside of the UK then you will have to pay VAT which is 17.5%. Usually you get an invoice from the courier company on delivery of the item or a few weeks later.

DHL and others normally pay the VAT for you to release the item from customs they then pass the charge onto you with a small fee of £15

or there about!

It seems to be the best deal out there to get the p1i and so i may chance it anyway as it would still work out cheaper than buying it from expansys.

Why not just buy it straight from SE?

x1387 always put the invoice for $100 with the item so customs will never charge
