Messenger / Courier Bags List

Guys this is a pretty long thread and given that I'm at 'work' and all that I shouldn't be paffing so much. BUT - quick Q.... if I get a bag off the net (whatever I decide on) am I going to get stung for import duty or whatever its called in the UK? I'm Aussie so don't understand how it works and well it may make a massive difference as to costs and where I end up buying from. Ta.

Import a second-hand one from the US (check eBay.com), and when the seller posts it, ask them to INSURE IT FOR LESS THAT YOU PAID FOR IT. For instance, if you pay $200 for the bag, ask them to insure it for $50. Then you won't get charged import taxes, and there's a very slim chance of it getting lost in the post anyway. I've done it with a few high-value bits of kit.
