I recently bought a synth from the states & after paying over $50 for shipping the guy delivering the package hands me a bill of a further £37!!..... (maybe around $60?)........ thats over $100 just for shipping & the item was only a groove box sized desktop synth!! fuck sake........
My question is..... does anyone have a way of getting around this tax bill issue?.... just for future reference

if you travel to america to pick it up and manage to sneak it through customs, you'll be ok.

This is a problem in Ukraine, seems. You just can't buy goods from UK or US... so we're all saving money here:)
