Good to hear its not so much a design problem. packing, check.
Don't worry about covering Cartman, i got sommit floating in my head...

oh yes i had a question about customs ( BOOOOOOOOOOO ) that i might not have understood or missed on the news letter.
if i understand right the parts are without VAT so we might get a bill from our deal old money grabbing gov.. however, past experiance has shown anything over 18 quid in value being posted into the UK gets another charge. When a RCU buddy sent me two home vids the value was $40, i had to pay 9 quid to even collect them from the post office! so i wouldnt fancy seeing the bill for all the gear i'll be requesting, and if someone then dares ask for VAT on top of that too! :boxing: .
I know 7DayShop, also on your sunny isles, get around this by sending your order in as many packets of 18 pounds or under as possible to avoid this dredded "postal handeling charge"
Whats the deal with Island Hobbies or am i missing the point?
