Looking at buying a Paul Comp qr seatclamp. Can't find any uk or eu shops with it in stock so looks like it'd have to be direct from Paul in the US and pay the tax etc.
At $70 shipped I should get away with not paying duty right? But I'll be paying tax (20%) plus a handling fee of either £8 or £11.25, can't really tell, if it's Parcel Farce that deal with it.
I guess I'll also have to choose between Paypal bumping me with their conversion rate or a foreign currency fee if I paid by card.
Without worrying about that last part, it turns a £38 seatclamp into £71.68. Faaaaack.
