Yes, just add something to the cart and you'll be given a price during the checkout process. You can check shipping costs on most websites before having to pay for your items.

Ordered some stuff from them a few weeks ago, came to €90+€13 shipping as it was under 1 kg in weight. When it got to my door I had to pay another €42 in customs fee, handling charge and ''other costs'' as they like to call it.

Total cost of getting €90s worth of stuff here from ehobby HK was €55!

I don't know why it cost so much as I got a €500 AEG including shipping and it cost me €110 at the door about a month ago. But that was from WGC and not ehobby.

I got a peq laser and light unit off em last week. Excellent customer service, i asked em to send it by ems speedpost so no couriers. Shipping and handling came to 32 USD, pretty decent really and i didn't get caught for duty this time, so couln't be happier!:)

I take it that it wasn't An Post that delivered it with a charge like that. What courier did you use if you don't mind my asking.

It was UPS, they are quick and I've never had any trouble with them but they seem to be getting more expensive with their extra charges for some reason.

Regarding the OP - yes Ehobby ship here. They're quite good too. I get the odd spring or valve off them when I can't find it round. WGC are grand too.

Duties apply on any amount over 40 Euro or so (and thats including postage as far as I recall) outside the EU. Buy locally where possible is your best man.
