In the interests of balance, I should point out that at times I did have very good service indeed from Rick, and his products are largely excellent. I had a few issues with waits and inaccurate information about when items were actually going to ship, but things worked out in the end, apart from the last time!

To the OP: How much was the duty you had to pay on this?
I'm interested in getting one, but I heard some horrendous stories of massive duty being charged on similar items.

What about smallpox? :lol:

It sounds like an extremely impressive piece of work which could serve as the centerpiece to a jaw-dropping routine. Great review!

Hi, I can jump in here.

I bought one of these, and ended up with about £20 of charges. Rick does mark the price down on the shipping label, unfortunately not quite enough.

That's not too bad. Did you have to pay the postie or go and collect it?

I got a card through the door, and had to go to the parcelforce depot. I could have paid online, and waited for it to be delivered another day but you know how it is !

If only the Lovely Lucy I ordered at the same time would come ....
