    That's not scary, it's merely a shot from Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" video :o
    If you order off the HK site, you're still going to have to pay the 3 Euro seeing as it's shipping to Ireland no?

    There can't be a levy, they were imposed on goods bought from the companies registered in Ireland and Britain.

    There may be an application of VAT since you haven't bought from inside the EU, that's about the only charge to worry about (and I believe that for small value goods sent in the post they do not worry about this...)

    The levy smacks of rampant protectionism, if the sellers here can't keep up then why should we be forced to prop up their business?

    they 3 euro will have to be payed even if you order off the hong kong site

    Even with the extra €3, CD-Wow are still cheaper than HMV.

    Grrr. IRMA were involved in the suit too. That's why we in Ireland have to pay the levy. Now it may have been at the behest of the BPI, but it's the fault of IRMA! Now are you happy that the swindling scumbags recognise us as an independent nation?
