Hi Chris,
I've given up ordering things in from outside the EU for precisely this
reason. I will however get friends to bring things back for me if they're
travelling (which is relatively regularly thankfully!)
That said, do enjoy the 15/4, I'll look forward to seeing how you get on
with it -- it's one which I've been lusting after for quite a while.
