id start to look to the east mate.....lol seriously, some companies out there are great so ive heard - ive only dealt with asiatess myself, have a look around a lot.

that US shipping sounds like a right joke, i had a whole chassis shipped for about $15 from the states, depends on the courier i guess...

should be plenty of places in the uk with either the epic or the os tho...

or check out ebay, i just spotted a 18cvrx for $99, will post worldwide, looks cheap, unused... worth an email? go ooooooooorrrrnnnnn!!!! u know u want to.

item 5951617396 will post to the uk, global priority, $15, ask him nice he might mark the value as 50 and tick the gift box...
