Even if they say it's a gift, it's still liable to duty and the chances of getting caught out are getting higher all the time. Depending on the carrier, you can be stuck for a hefty admin charge too. I would stick to sites within the EU, e.g. Hein Gericke DE is usually a lot cheaper than Hein Gericke UK. Cotters are good for cheap gear, too.

I'm partial to your abracadabra
